@fiveightandten I know about mileage... XD I'm a diesel driver... I'm trying to say BMW diesel engines are shit, when you buy a diesel and spend all that money on it use your brain and buy a Merc... If you want Petrol car than you buy a BMW...:D

By the way, does the fan have any rough edges from the molding. If there are, would help the noise if you trim them off, that's a pretty loud fan though.

Sounds like a truck :)

Maybe it's pulling air between the lip of the radiator surround and the ring that encircles the fan blades? Just a thought.

@DexMaster881 - the diesel M3 gets better gas mileage. Look up the specs. ;)

my car (328is 97) makes the exact same noise with the stock fan... driving me crazy... did you solve the problem?

@spiff31 - It sounds like your fan clutch may be on the way out. The fan in the vid made so much noise because it's a fan off a diesel engine designed to push tons of air, and was coupled with the normal (read: wrong) fan clutch. Spin your fan by hand when cold, it should free spin a few inches easily after you let go. It it feels too tight, it's seizing up.

Oh, is the Euro diesel fan supposed to cool the engine better?

@kaoshonen - Yes, the diesel fan pushes more air. A lot more air, as you can see. But, like most mods, there is a drawback. I ultimately just bought a new stock fan and clutch, which i've been running for a while now. For my purposes, i'm happier with that.
