BMW E46 non-M (99-06) Mishimoto fan shroud with electric fan and controller

This Mishimoto fan shroud E46 with controller is a slim steel fan shroud with a 16 inch electric fan and adjustable fan controller for the BMW E46 323i, 325i, 328i and 330i from 1999 to 2006. On automatic cars it replaces the failure-prone mechanical fan; on manual cars it outperforms the original electric fan.

According to Mishimoto’s testing on a manual E46, coolant outlet temperatures at idle drop by up to 12.2 °C compared to the stock electric fan. The shroud is at most 76 mm deep, saving engine bay space, and with the controller you decide when the fan switches on.

Why choose this fan shroud E46 with controller?

At idle and in the pits an E46 gets little airflow, and the fan has to do the work. This Mishimoto shroud with a powerful fan and adjustable controller keeps temperatures in check, even when standing still. Everything is included and Mishimoto backs it with a lifetime warranty.
