I've got mishimoto rad and fan on the M3 and it cold do lap after lap and not go near halfway.

Outperforms oem.

Have you got a/c and a/c rad?

Want to keep it OEM looking as possible really.

i removed ac and ac rad but kept the ac fan which switches on after a certain temperature. works a charm.

What are the on/off parameters of the AC fan then?

Just remembered, from AlexK

shimmy, I could be wrong but I think the electric fan is also installed on the non-AC cars.

The fan is used to provide additional cooling to the engine. It's not used just for the AC.

Here are the maps that show how the fan is operated.

Temperature (°C)|Operation/speed (%)
|49°C|0%
|50°C|30%
|70°C|40%
|80°C|65%
|85°C|83%
|90°C|100%

The second map, that changes the voltage supply depending on the speed.
Above 140km/h it's deactivated.

speed (km/h)|Voltage (index)
|0 km/h|1
|50 km/h|1
|100 km/h|1
|120 km/h|0.5
|140 km/h|0
|200 km/h|0

I could have sworn someone said that non AC cars didn't have the AC fan....

anyway wks for the parameters Shimmy. I didn't know it would turn off at 140km/h.........

I'd be surprised if it's there too on non AC cars as I'm sure e92 m3 was first to have electric fan as standard

Either way it turns off at 87.5mph

Non AC cars do not have a fan.
The fan is restricting the airflow, that's why I removed mine.

Alex,
Is it a significant weight saving as well

?
