I haven't tried getting it functional yet, though. ![]() The lines are a bit different on the E46 compressor, so I exchanged them. If you want A/C, keep your E36 compressor.I learned the hard-way by not listening - don't do the same! This messes up your shift linkage, drive-shaft length, exhaust fitment, etc. You will need to retain your S5X/M5X motor mount arms - if you choose to keep the E46 M3 arms, your motor will be moved forward by ~1 inch.At the conclusion of my swap, there isn't many parts I haven't touched/replaced on this car. "While you're in there" hits hard, and gets you every-time. The actual "swap" isn't the expensive or lengthy part, it's all the little things that you will NOT think about. I have to be at least 7k into this swap, with almost 2 months of working on it almost every day. You can swap in an LS for the same price, if not cheaper, and make more power. Just be sure that you want this engine, 100%, before you begin. It is also incredibly time-consuming, at least for a single individual, like me. Right off the bat, it's pretty expensive. Prop 65 requires any listed chemical present above very low levels that are known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.For more information about California Prop 65 warning see: I'm nearing the end of my S54 swap and wanted to note some things for anyone who is thinking about it, or is currently in the process of doing this swap. Proposition 65 (Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1968) is a California law that applies to call companies selling products in California. WARNING! Prog 65 may apply to this product. For BMW applications, the NPT plug is usually the best and Mishimoto has this port built into their radiator designs (most other aluminum radiators do as well). For the E36, Mishimoto has an optional dedicated wiring harness with a controller that takes power from the factory fuse panel. There are two styles of Mishimoto fan controllers - a sensor located in a 1/8" NPT plug or as a 6" probe inserted between the fins on the radiator. This is the preferred setup method but other types of controls may also be used. ![]() Hardware and instructions are included.Īn electric fan must be powered by a 12v source. A fan controller kit is optional and is activated by coolant temp. Mishimoto has confirmed fitment with stock radiators as well as their own Performance and X-Line aluminum radiators. The shroud and frame are black powedercoated steel and mounts to existing points on the radiator for a seemless install. The Mishimoto electric fan uses a 16" slim profile electric fan that flows at 1,850 cubic feet per minute (CFM). ![]() more reliable than a stock-style fan clutch.customizable temp control (with optional fan controller).more horsepower by removing parasitic drag.For the E36, Mishimoto has an optional dedicated wiring harness with a controller that takes power from the factory fuse panel.

It's not a lot of lost power and torque - Mishimoto measured a max gain of 6whp - but sometimes every little bit helps. Torque from the engine is used to spin the fan, which could otherwise be used to power the car. The stock engine fan is mounted on the water pump shaft and spins with the engine.
