4.6is Fan Clutch Conundrum
Looking up my original fan number in REALOEM it comes up as a fan clutch for an E38 750iL I could get the fan which matches up with the new clutch or go looking for another clutch like the original. But I want to know why.

The design was updated. The clutches used to seize.

Vin LN80253. A 02/ 2003 production date.
Went back through REALOEM and it is the same. It does make note that it is only to be used with a certain fan which has the 4 screw, back mount. I wonder if there was a recall or something to that effect.

Thanks Papasmurf. Do know if this was a recall or if there is a service bulletin on it?
I'm getting kind of irritated with this. I got the clutch and borrowed a clutch tool from a mechanic buddy. Turned out I grabbed his Mercedes tool and he is now out of town. Tried to find one locally, couldn't. Tried a universal, didn't work. Tried to make one, but I used aluminum stock since I had it and it broke. Ordered the tool, just got it, and what should be a 20 min job... find the part is not correct. Thanks guys, I just needed to get that off my chest. and Thank You Terminator! (I was hoping you might do that )

Really? 03 production date and its got that kind of clutch on it? My 4.4 is an 01 production and has the same clutch. Was the 3 bolter and "New and Improved" design that failed.
Nothing for nothing, I didn't have the fan clutch tool and I thought I HAD to have it. But after getting the bolt off without it, I don't see it as necessary. I figured if I needed it in a pinch, I would just rent it from Autozone. They have a MB/BMW fan clutch kit. It is $200.00, but you are renting it, so it is free to use.
