BMW Engine Fans & Parts for BMW 3 Series E46 (1999-2005)

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.

This fan is driven by the serpentine belt, engaged by the fan clutch. If you have bad motor mounts, it's quite common for the blades of this fan to make contact with the radiator or radiator shroud, essentially self-destructing the fan into many peices. Be sure to get a new fan clutch, while you are replacing this.

This electric fan for the E46 M3 takes the place of the stock engine-mounted fan and offers several advantages - more horsepower by removing parasitic drag customizable temp control 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 5whp - 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 seamless 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 temperature sensors included with this kit - a sensor located in a 1/8" NPT plug and 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 E46, Mishimoto includes a dedicated wiring harness with the fan controller that takes power from the factory fuse panel. WARNING! Prop 65 may apply to this product.

The auxiliary fan in your vehicle serves an extremely important role. When your car reaches temperatures that may be hazardous to your engine, the auxiliary fan moves air through the radiator to provide better cooling. Usually activated during times of stationary vehicle operation, it supplements the air usually driven through the radiator by driving down the road. If your vehicle is getting too hot during traffic or at stop lights, your auxiliary fans are probably faulty. Replace yours with this piece from ACM to restore the factory cooling in your vehicle and prevent catastrophic damage to your engine. Even if your fans are still operational but the blades are damaged or cracked, replacement is the only solution.
