Do you know where this fan is located? I'd like to take a look at it first if I could.

Now that it is evident that there are several faulty electric cooling fans out there, I have the following questions for those experiencing problems with it: 1) When was your car built? 2) What "line" is your car (i.e., M-Sport, Sport, etc.)? My information: 1) August 2012 Build 2) M-Sport Line

Limped to work today for the first time. Sucked. Seemed to go away when I restarted the engine at a red light.
October 2012 build. 335 M-Sport Bringing it in Monday to have ASS recoded and my Sport Display gauges set to US standards. I'll mention the limp mode, but confidence is low. They weren't very sure about the coding issues.

Took mine in to the dealer today. Didn't get to take it home. They had it all day for the software update and found no codes relating to the loud fan/ limp mode that I experienced twice ALSO they have no idea why my horn stopped working. I feel certain I will be without for a while( to make things a bit worse, I have a no line 328 as a loaner when last time I received a 2013 mineral white 740li with 38 miles on the odo. I sold it for them a week later. Got a nice bird dog fee too ) On the upside when I do get it back the performance lip and diffuser will be on the car!! Spoiler is on, performance mats are in and all performance interior parts are on. Next, Tint and a jb4....done!

The electric cooling fan is mounted to the radiator and the fan shroud.

MSPORT 335i Happened twice. Power wise feels the same as long as the fan isn't full blast. Happened twice already but I've not reached break in so I can't take it in just yet. I'm going to wait and see if it happens another 2-3 times before taking it in. |

"Today our 1 month old 2013 F30 335i M-Sport Sedan with almost 1000 miles on it suddenly started making a rather loud engine noise "roar" when idling at stoplights during a short trip. According to the tach it was idling at normal RPM. Since the trip was short the engine hardly got a chance to warm up and the outside temp was about 45 F. When I got the car home I popped open the hood to take a listen. It was a roaring sound somewhat reminiscent of the sound that a diesel truck makes when idling. I shut the engine off and then turned it back on. The roar was gone and our F30 sounded normal again. Has anyone else experienced this with the F30 335i? Could the cause be something that triggered the engine cooling fan to run faster?" |

Had same issue as well with my 335i M Sport fan kicked on really loud and been noticing oil temp staying really low on long drives seems like a cooling issue, I know we have a different coolant pump on the 335 M sport compared to other f30s wondering if this is a issue.

I brought our M Sport 335 to the shop today for the same issue. No power loss but a low reading temp guage. The service writer did mention a secondary fan on the M Sport 335, but said that the problem could be caused by a number of issues. I have our car scheduled to be checked out next week at our dealer and will report back then. However, we have had no issues since the one isolated incident. Bob |

So not to sound too negative, but seeing how this doesn't log an incident, we will essentially have to wait until enough people report this, an official diagnosis and fix is reported, and a SIB is filed.
Then we will have to get said SIB form (from someone on this forum) and bring it to our SA's in the hopes of convincing them that this is what is wrong with our cars and it's not all in our heads. Hope I don't sound too pessimistic about our potential outlook. Just seems like unless a code is logged or there are flames shooting out of our cars, we get told it is "normal behavior".
