BMW Cooling System Parts & Accessories for BMW 6 Series E24 (1977-1989)

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

The cooling system is arguably the weakest point in numerous BMWs. If you drive an aging BMW or plan on taking your car to the track like we do, we recommend beefing up your cooling system before going to the track. Generally, the main components in your cooling system that are prone to failure include the following: expansion tank, factory hoses, water pump, thermostat, fan (especially if your vehicle comes factory with a clutch fan), and radiator. Factory BMW expansion tanks are plastic and prone to either breaking off at connection points or combusting. As factory rubber hoses age they either crack or break over time - we offer silicone cooling hose upgrades for most applications to avoid future failures. If you have an older vehicle, your water pump likely comes from the factory with a plastic impeller - we offer upgraded water pumps with metal impellers that are far more reliable. Newer model BMWs utilize electric water pumps - BMW spent millions of dollars engineering these water pumps, but they fail so often that we recommend replacing at 60,000 mile service intervals to avoid being stranded on the side of the road. In terms of thermostats, we offer various upgraded thermostats for racing applications. If your BMW utilizes a clutch fan from the factory, we have several options available in terms of universal electric fans - we recommend replacing these to avoid sending brittle plastic fan blades through your hood. For radiators, we recommend swapping out your radiator for one that does not use plastic connection points like your factory radiator.

The BMW E28 M5 and E24 M6, two iconic early M cars, have solidified their status as sought-after classics from the 1980s. However, the cooling systems from that era fall short when compared to modern designs, often presenting issues with durability and efficiency. To tackle this problem, CSF and A/C Solutions collaborated to create a High-Performance All-Aluminum Radiator specifically for the E28 and E24, combining superior cooling performance with a precise factory fit.

The original OE radiator featured an aluminum core paired with plastic end tanks—a design notorious among BMW enthusiasts for eventual failures, such as leaks at the seams or cracking plastic tanks caused by years of heat cycling.

CSF's Classic Series Radiator offers significant upgrades over the original design, most notably its advanced all-aluminum construction. Built with TIG-welded, 100% aluminum materials, this radiator provides enhanced strength, durability, and longevity, ensuring it can withstand even the most demanding driving conditions. With a 1-row 31mm aluminum core, CSF's B-tube technology, and nearly twice the number of cooling fins and tubes compared to the OE radiator, the new design delivers exceptional cooling performance. Additionally, its multi-louvered fins are optimized to maximize airflow, ensuring superior thermal efficiency. The radiator installs seamlessly in the factory location, requiring no modifications or cutting.

Another thoughtful upgrade is the addition of a drain plug. Unlike the factory radiator, which lacks this feature, CSF's new design simplifies tasks like coolant flushes or engine removals, making maintenance more convenient for enthusiasts. This small but practical detail further enhances the overall user experience.

Features:

1-Row – 31mm Ultra-High-Performance Core

Cooling Tubes with CSF’s Exclusive B-Tube Technology

6.5mm Tall Ultra Efficient Fins with a Multi-Louvered Design for Maximum Surface Area Contact

CNC Machined Mounting Brackets and OEM Style Inlet/Outlet

100% All Aluminum TIG-Welded Construction

Satin Black Finish for an OEM+ Look and Feel

True Plug-and-Play “Drop-in Fit” Installation Requires Absolutely No Modifications

Two M14x1.5 Temperature Sensor Ports on left side tank (Plugs Included)

Individually Leak and Pressure Tested

2-Year Limited Warranty


Applications:

1984-1988 BMW E28 M5 (US and Euro)

1984-1989 BMW E24 M635CSi

1987-1989 BMW E24 M6

The radiator tank cap keeps necessary pressure on your coolant to increase efficiency. If you have an overheating issue in your vehicle, a simple, quick, and inexpensive part to replace is this cap. Often times, the coolant is not kept under enough pressure to keep it from boiling or expanding too much. This cap keeps all the heat and liquid inside the coolant system for maximum efficiency. Should be replaced each time major coolant system service is performed.
