BMWs are well-known for their problematic cooling systems, which often lead to irreversible engine damage and hefty repair bills. The coolant expansion tank—a crucial component that holds hot engine coolant under high pressure—is a common cause of cooling system issues. Unfortunately, BMW chose to manufacture the factory E30 expansion tank out of plastic. After decades of exposure to high coolant temperatures, ambient engine bay heat, and chemical-rich antifreeze, the plastic degrades, eventually weakening enough to fail catastrophically.
With this issue in mind, our team of BMW enthusiasts engineered the ultimate cooling system upgrade for E30 owners: a heavy-duty expansion tank built to last! Crafted from durable 5052 TIG-welded aluminum, this tank resists high temperatures and pressures without degrading over time. Unlike the fragile OEM plastic tank, Turner’s design eliminates the risk of cracking, leaking, or failure. Upgrade to our Heavy Duty Aluminum Expansion Tank Kit and say goodbye to expansion tank issues for good!
To guarantee exact fitment, the upgraded tank was designed using advanced 3D CAD modeling. All bungs, nipples, and fittings are precision-machined to ensure a secure seal with factory hose ends. Unlike other aftermarket options, this tank maintains the factory coolant capacity and includes our laser-cut logo plate at the top, providing an accurate fill level. Internal baffles are incorporated to prevent fluid cavitation, eliminating air pockets in the cooling system and avoiding false coolant level warnings during spirited driving.
Engineered for high-performance builds and daily drivers alike, this expansion tank boasts a premium wrinkle black powder coat finish for a clean "OEM+" aesthetic. This tough coating not only enhances appearance but also protects against corrosion for long-term durability. The kit includes a silicone overflow hose, a high-quality level sensor, and an OE expansion tank cap, offering a complete cooling system upgrade. Avoid the risks of the factory expansion tank—upgrade your E30 today and drive with confidence!
CSF is one of the premier cooling product specialists available on the market thanks to designs such as their High Performance Aluminum Radiators. Using a two-row, triple-pass designed core, this radiator gives you all the cooling you could ever need. Paired with these radiators are CNC machined brackets and corrosion resistant hardware that allow final installation to have a same as stock fitment! This enables you to have much higher cooling without having to cut away any metal or delete any important components just for the sake of lower coolant temperatures.
