Radiator fan continues to run after engine is turned off
Is this normal? Sometimes when I turn off the engine, the radiator fan continues to run for about 5 minutes. It seems to happen only when I park in my garage, and even then, it doesn't happen every time.

It's circulating coolant through the turbos and the engine, most people don't know but when you turn off your car it actually gets hotter than when it's running. It's like a high tech version of the old turbo timers.

V8 vs I6
I6 does run its coolant pump, but not the fan much. So you wont easily hear it.

True, I do however hear the Fan after I turn off the AC or when I put the car in Accessory Mode... Which is normal because i heard it on my F10 535i aswell...
