    E39 aux fan

    I've seen on the forums some of us using e39 aux fans, any suggestions? I know the e39 fans are way less expensive and they also run external fan control or resistors. I'm guessing that's the advantage to the e39 fan? Mines beginning to fail so I'm in the market, just not sure if flee-bay is worth the 125-150$ if there's something better someone's using now or if I should spend the 275-300 for stock

    The e38 and e39 fan almost exactly the same for the 99-01. I put in a brand new aftermarket e39 fan in my e38 from ebay for $99

    How long have you had it installed? Do you remember the seller
