MMFS-E46-01K - Mishimoto Electric Fan and Shroud Kit - Includes Controller & Sensors - E46 M3
Mishimoto Electric Fan and Shroud Kit - Includes Controller & Sensors - E46 M3
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. Includes Controller & Sensors.
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.

An electric fan must be powered by a 12v source. The included fan controller kit 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.
