Original BMW 400W Cooling Fan with Shroud for BMW X3 F25 and X4 F26 28i (2013–2018)

BMW's 400-watt fan housing with fan is the Original BMW electric cooling fan and shroud assembly that pulls air through the radiator on the 2013–2017 BMW X3 and 2015–2018 X4 28i. It weighs 3.9 kg (8.5 lb) and arrives as one unit, with the fan, the shroud that directs its airflow, and the motor that drives it already together. The fan does its most important work at idle and low speeds, when too little air moves through the radiator on its own to hold coolant temperature. It also cools the air conditioning condenser, so the fan affects cabin cooling as well as engine temperature.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

In BMW's cooling fan diagram for the X3, this assembly is position 1. BMW has made this number since September 2010, and its parts data shows no superseding number. BMW includes the 400W motor rating in its own description of the part.

Common Questions

How do I know the cooling fan is failing?
A temperature gauge that climbs in traffic or at idle, an air conditioner that blows warmer air, and a fan that stays still with the engine hot are the usual signs.

Do the X3 and X4 use the same fan?
Yes, in the 28i trims PMB covers. BMW uses this one number on the F25 X3 and the F26 X4.
