Looks interesting

Ive got one of their fans and have it wired into the AC control. I've removed all other fans including viscous fan, oil and water temps reduced.

When they mention clutch fan, I assume they mean viscous fan?

Never any issues on previous csl but had temp issues with latest m3 on hot days, I also fitted oil diverter valve from CA, fitted alloy rad from driftworks, motorsport stat cured all issue's, I have previously removed ac completely, even after fitting charger im still not having any issue's with oil or water temps ,

I did on hot days, the oil divertor made a big difference, as you said the oil and water temps affect each other to a degree, after fitting the divertor valve I had no more issue's, I fitted the rad and stat in prep for the charger
Recomend the oil diverter for track use, for £55, great little mod,

Very interesting.

I solved the issue using only OEM parts.
Are these aftermarket parts necessary ?

I never had any issues with csl overheating but did have issues with M3. I fitted oil divertor valve, BMW motorsport viscous fan and thermostat. Made a big difference no overheating now.
