 The BMW cooling fan is a significant component in the engine cooling system, a large part of the heat dissipation process, which keeps the engine safe from overheating, and the damage that it can cause. The engine cooling system uses a very efficient process to maintain a safe temperature for engine function. A coolant liquid is circulated through the engine under pressure provided by the water pump. After the coolant has collected some of the heat from the engine, it is circulated on to the radiator, where it travels a winding path through the radiator cooling cores. A flow of cool air blows through the radiator to help dissipate the heat carried in the coolant as it makes its way through the cooling cores.
 This air is provided by the motion of the vehicle and by the BMW cooling fan when the vehicle is moving at a slow pace or when the engine is idling. The BMW cooling fan can be powered by an electric motor, most common in front wheel drive vehicles and most newer models. Vehicles that are equipped with a transversely mounted engine use the electric BMW cooling fan, as a belt and pulley system is not as practical in these engines. Many older vehicles use a belt driven BMW cooling fan, using a pulley and belt system that is driven by engine power. Both variations of the BMW cooling fan serve the same purpose in the engine cooling system. We carry a selection of BMW cooling fan replacement parts in our convenient online catalog.
