    Likely the temp diff? That'd make the M5 one better for M62 stat modders one would presume.

    My vote is loose the clutch fan and replace it with a properly set up electric fan or go Aux only.

    I looked up both fan clutches, S62 and M62 they are both listed as 92CEL. Tonight I installed the mod on the M5, photos attached.

    Nice. Yeah it should def be quieter w/ the circle-style S blades. I almost wish I ran a visco fan so I could try the mod!!!!

    bqueef - this really deserves its own thread vs hijacking Mr. OnePostNoShow's lame thread here. If you have a mind, it would be cool if you started a clean thread explaining the deal, showing your pix, and giving the part numbers.

    Understood GearGrinder! It's cool, and I refrained from calling you GarbageGrabber in childish response LOL!.

    I will create a new post, and am very excited about this mod. I wanted to drive the M today, but it has been raining like crazy and the car is so clean. (terrible excuse, I know). So far, it fits the S62, M62Tu, and M70 (likely M60/62 as well)

    The I6 fan is smaller, so probably not.

    But it brings up the idea that there well may be a smaller swap-mod fan for I6s that has the ring-S type blades. Be fun realoem treasure hunt project.
