Daredevil;250973 said:Heard a roaring sound from the engine. So sent the car to BM World. Immediately they diagnosed it as the fan clutch. Apparently, the fan clutch is already worn out causing it to be 'stuck'. That's why the car felt so sluggish and heavy each time I step on the accelerator. All this while I tot it was the accelerator cable so I procrastinated on the matter. Finally cannot tahan.

Based on this website, apparently fan clutch problem is common for E39 after 100,000 km milage
