BMW Engine Fans & Parts for BMW E36 (1992-1998) M3

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

Older BMWs utilize a mechanical clutch fan from the factory. If your vehicle still has a clutch fan, you can validate its functionality with the 'newspaper test,' but we recommend our customers do a clutch fan delete, adding in an electronic fan to avoid sending a plastic fan blade through your hood. Alternatively, we do offer factory replacement parts for your clutch fan if you would like to keep your vehicle as BMW intended it.

Replacing the fan clutch on most BMW models requires holding the water pump pulley while removing the fan clutch lock nut. With less than 1 1/2" clearance on some models this project can easily turn into a mechanical nightmare. Using our special slim line fan clutch wrench in conjunction with the appropriate pulley spanner, the removal and installation required only a few moments.

This electric fan for the E36 takes the place of the stock engine-mounted fan and offers several advantages - more horsepower by removing parasitic drag customizable temp control (with optional fan controller) frame included for a direct fit more reliable than a stock-style fan clutch The stock engine fan is mounted on the water pump shaft and spins with the engine. Torque from the engine is used to spin the fan, which could otherwise be used to power the car. It's not a lot of lost power and torque - Mishimoto measured a max gain of 6whp - but sometimes every little bit helps. And the other advantages of an electric fan make it a smart move. The Mishimoto electric fan uses a 16" slim profile electric fan that flows at 1,850 cubic feet per minute (CFM). The shroud and frame are black powedercoated steel and mounts to existing points on the radiator for a seemless install. Mishimoto has confirmed fitment with stock radiators as well as their own Performance and X-Line aluminum radiators. Hardware and instructions are included. An electric fan must be powered by a 12v source. A fan controller kit is optional and is activated by coolant temp. This is the preferred setup method but other types of controls may also be used. There are two styles of Mishimoto fan controllers - a sensor located in a 1/8" NPT plug or as a 6" probe inserted between the fins on the radiator. For BMW applications, the NPT plug is usually the best and Mishimoto has this port built into their radiator designs (most other aluminum radiators do as well). For the E36, Mishimoto has an optional dedicated wiring harness with a controller that takes power from the factory fuse panel.

When you push your powerplant, thermodynamics push right back. The toll of high performance is higher heat load – and many stock components begin to complain. But Active Autowerke has you covered - this upgraded fan clutch increases viscous coupling of cooling fan blade speed to water pump speed, yielding increased airflow through the radiator for more efficient cooling. A simple, yet wonderful, thing.

This product fits the following BMWs:
1992-1999 E36 323i 325i 328i 330i M3
