6k rpm, fan clutch engaged.
Blew 10 out of the 11 fan blades off, wiped out the shroud, popped about 5 holes in the radiator, blue coolant everywhere

on a good note, scattering plastic parts and coolant is way better than aluminum and oil.

Will be speaking to Panzer Captain later today to source some used parts for this heap and then i'm selling it. As much as I like the 530i, it sucks.

Now I have to drive this junk home from work (25 miles) That one blade is making some vibration and i think i'll just take the whole thing (well whatever is left at least) and just remove it. Most of my drive is at highway speed so it should be ok.
Hopefully I can do it with one fill of the resivior.

so much for my lunch break, happy friday
