If the total fan blade surface area is the greater on the 11 blade, and the blade pitch is the same as the 9 blade fan, than the 750 model has greater airflow capability. The next variable would be the fan clutch engagement characteristics.

I would think the 750 sedan has a more restricted airflow through the radiator and engine compartment than the E53 and would call for a fan capable of overcoming that additional resistance. On the E53, the 750 fan should provide a quicker heat transfer under high engine load conditions.
