[DC X3M40i]

Got back from running an errand. Drove a few miles there and back. Nothing too crazy. Got home shut the car off and was unloading and the fans under the hood were still running. They ran for a good 2 or 3 minutes after shutting down. Is this normal? This car generate that much engine heat that it needs a cool down?

Possibly the opf filter had to regenerate itself .Happens to the m40 models as well!

Yes normal, a lot of modern engines have this because the turbos are located so close to the engine block they get very hot so the turbos have their own independent cooling system which runs after engine shutdown .

Both my M40 and my AMGs do this all the time.
