Radiator fans
After every drive, the radiator fans remain on after the engine stops. It doesn't last long but is this normal? I can understand if it was really hot outside but given that it's winter, I'm surprise this is happening.
I called my local BMW dealer and they said this is normal. Anyone else experiencing this? Thanks |

Interesting, is the car able to keep a circulating pump operating for turbo cooling even after the car is turned off? Is it possible that cooling might also be for the water cooled ECUs in the engine bay? This car is by FAR the most technically challenging piece I've ever owned, or will own in a month or two.

- Coolant temperature at engine outlet - Engine oil temperature - Injected fuel quantity The heat input into the engine is calculated thes values. The after-run of the electric coolant pump can last up to 30 minutes. To improve the cooling effect, the electric fan is activated and can for up to a max of 11 minutes. There are two separate 50W cooling pumps for the DMEs (one for each bank)
