DI Diesel Engines M57/M67 - Common Rail Sec. 6 P.6
Course contents/Background material
M57-specific features
• The AUC sensor is located below the centre of the fan shroud.
• The expansion tank is mounted behind the headlights
Vehicle-specific fan shrouds with different apertures are
installed in the E39 and E38. This is necessary due to the fan
displacement by approx. 20 mm. The fan will be damaged if
interchanged.
For differentiation purposes, an identification code is cast in the
top inside of the fan shroud:
• E39M57 Identification code "A"
• E38M57 Identification code "B"
