I'm completely stumped by it!

Part number 64546921381 shows it's compatible with all models and years, 3.0, 4.4, 4.6 and 4.8



So on my 4.8l I have an intercooler, and the fan simply won't sit properly.



In this video, the guy has the same problem

I don't understand how the fan is listed compatible, but you need to cut it to make it fit?



Has anyone had the same issue? This is really weird!

I guess electrically it's compatible,
Housing and such may need to be trimmed ...this is common with many aftermarket products attempting to copy OEM products.

*I just replaced the BMW radiator with aftermarket.
The bottom footing was too wide had to bend it in so the bmw plastic footing would fit!
