The full plug and play EKPM3 cooler kit is designed specifically for F10/F11/F07 BMW's using an EKPM3 fuel pump control module. This is recommended for anyone using a low pressure fuel pump that is larger than the OEM fuel pump.
Important Fitment Note: Please note that M5 plug and play kits will ONLY fit the M5 and will not fit non-M5's. Please make sure to select "other" if you're purchasing this for a non-M5 car.
The cooler housing is designed to fit over the EKP module just like the OEM housing and fits with plenty of room in the stock EKP location. The housing is 3D printed using durable ASA or ABS. The full kit is printed and assembled in the U.S.A. by Arc Terminator LLC.

Why this kit exists:
The EKPM3 and EKPM2 have been shown to overheat and cause vehicle shutdown issues when larger fuel pumps that draw more current than OEM are used. This shutdown comes from critical components on the EKPM3 and EKPM2 overheating when larger current draws are coming from the fuel pump. The PNP kit comes with heatsinks for the most heat-sensitive and heat-producing components in the EKPM3 / EKPM2 to further increase cooling effectiveness. When paired with a potent 5015 blower fan that directs a large amount of airflow through the cooler housing, the EKPM3 / EKPM2 stays significantly cooler, which prolongs the life of the module.
FAQ:
Q: Where does this plug in to?
A: The F10/F11/F07 chassis has a fuse box in the trunk close to the EKP module. The power comes from fuse #48, which the wiring harness will plug directly into. This fuse controls the "additional 12v socket," which will still be 100% functional with this kit installed. The kit is then grounded to the bottom EKP mounting stud.
Q: This is 3D Printed, will it be durable enough to be in my car?
A: Yes, absolutely! Our housings are made from very durable ASA, ABS or PETG (depending on color options) and are designed to protect the EKP module from accidental impacts that may occur with objects in your trunk.
Q: Why is a relay used instead of just tapping into the wires coming out of the EKP to the fuel pump like I've seen in other DIY's?
A: The relay is used in order to take any additional load off of the EKP module as well as to reduce any signal noise that may be produced by the fan. The fan draws less than 1amp of current, and a relay may seem to be "over-kill," but it's the best way to keep the fan circuit isolated and protects other electronic devices from additional interference.
Q: Is there any downsides to using the kit that doesn't come with the relay?
A: There are not any downsides to using this variant of the PNP kit and it will work just as well as the kit with the relay.
Q: I'm a DIY'er, can I buy just the housing?
A: Absolutely! The housing alone is available here: Cooler Housing Only Also, if you've got a 3D Printer and you want to do your own thing, the STL file is 100% FREE for download here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5478339
Other Information:
Depending on heatsink availability, you may receive heatsinks that look different than what is pictured. However, we have tested both variants of heatsinks and have not noticed any measurable difference in heat dissipation from either style.

I had a issue with my bmw it would die on a hot day after 10 to 30 minutes of driving I was getting a random code every time but one code was permanent that was ekp module with this cooling fan my problem was solved thank you ARC for the cheap fix the dealership wanted $300 plus $150 to code it this a diy it took me 15 minutes to install it thanks again ARC
This is a great product.I would highly recommend buying it.My 2012 bmw 528i f10 left me stranded quite a fuel times due to the ekpm module giving me a fuel control module fault.My module on a regular cool days was hitting about 170degree.when it would get hotter.It would hit 190 degrees and would throw the fuel supply fault.Now with the install of the arc terminator cooler kit.I drove about 3-4 hours straight The module runs at 130-135 degrees on the hottest day of the summer which is 102 degrees outside.At 85-90 degrees outside the module is only at 100-110 degrees.I order the 40mm quiet motor And also I used a different fuse location than the lighter fuse.Personally I did not like the fan running when the car was off.I am extremely satisfied.
Workks great. Thanks
Very nice ez
Following a few random engine shut offs during hot weather I sought out a solution.
I'm confident I will be trouble free with this device.
Thanks
