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.

Your reasoning is sound. I just know that it works remarkably well. Either someone was thinking when they applied this mod or it was just exchanged because the right one was not available at a time of some service. I personally believe that someone was thinking on this one.
