The last model year with the plastic impeller was '97.

^^ Right on, so my 98 would have the metal impeller then?

**Dudesky** · 03-10-2006, 01:54 PM

^^^No, model year '97 means production year '96 thru early '97. The '98's are okay.

This is a well documented problem and like others have said... you're stupid if you let it go. It could blow and it's one of the very few things that will strand your bimmer.
