I'd replace the aux fan as soon as you can. For some reason a lot of the salvage x5s I find on car-part.com were all fire damage, starting at the very front. I've seen the aux fan go up in smoke a few times on E39s so I'd hate to see you lose your ride because of that.

I knew it needed work when I offered the price, and if I parted it out I would have made money.
So worst case I would sell the bits.

After test driving it, the motor sounds good and it went, so not a lot is wrong if motor runs.

Wow, didnt know they could cause such damage, will get an Aux fan asap.
