Default Aftermarket Radiator Fan

Hey guys I recently bought a 2004 545i everything works well except I noticed it has aftermarket fans in front of the radiator and in the back. I took it to the mechanic and he recommended me to buy an oem fan. Is it okay to run these aftermarket fans or should I just buy a bmw oem one?

Are the fans working ok? FYI bmw doesn't make the fan to begin with. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

There working ok, but he told me that he's worried that they might cause a problem down the road since he thinks there not correctly wired. He told me that the wires that go from the relay to the fan get really hot and is afraid they'll burn.
