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.
This electric auxiliary fan for BMW E39 525i 528i 530i 540i M5 1999-2003 mounts in front of the radiator and is designed to push air through the A/C Condenser and main radiator. It provides additional cooling for when the car is in traffic. It is a common failure item. If your engine temps are creeping up or if your A/C isn't blowing cold this could be the cause.
