BMW Cooling System Parts & Accessories for BMW E36 (1992-1998) M3

Our Turner Motorsport's full aluminum expansion tank was designed and engineered in house to help with the weak point in your E36 cooling system. The coolant expansion tank goes through heat cycles over and over again from regular driving, it is important that your expansion tank is doing its job to retain coolant to keep your engine operating temperatures down and keep your engine bay clean. Not only is this a major upgrade but also a great maintenance item to replace. Our expansion tank was designed to fit the OEM hoses for an easy install and comes with all the upgraded items you will need for a clean install,

If your E36 needs a new expansion tank, make sure this is the last expansion tank you ever need to buy. Our coolant expansion tank has a full aluminum construction and wrinkle black powder coat for durability. Expansion tank kit comes with all the accessories you need to replace your expansion tank once, and never have to worry about it again.

Aluminum Coolant Expansion Tank Features:

- Maintains stock coolant capacity and expansion volume

- Designed to maintain OE coolant elevation, preventing air pockets

- Baffled tank ensures that air pockets cannot be introduced during aggressive driving and provides accurate coolant level reading

- Carefully designed bleed passage prevents the introduction of air as the engine cools

The 6-speed Getrag 420G transmission, found in the European E36 M3 Evolution and E46 M3, has become an increasingly popular swap amongst E36 owners. Its increased strength, longevity, and overdrive sixth gear make it a great choice for both track cars and daily drivers. Unfortunately, many of the components needed to complete this transplant have become hard to source. Despite increased demand from enthusiasts, BMW has blocked the sale of European E36 M3 parts into North America.

Recognizing this issue, we set out to develop a replacement for the unavailable, 420G-specific transmission crossbrace. Our initial investigation revealed that the factory cast aluminum construction was failure-prone, so durable 5GA 1018 steel was chosen to provide a lasting upgrade. The Turner Motorsport Heavy-Duty Transmission Crossmember is finished in a brilliant silver powder coat to resist corrosion and maximize appearance. Despite being much stronger than the factory crossmember, our design is dimensionally identical, ensuring a perfect fit with your six-speed swap.

Design:

Manufactured from durable 5GA 1018 steel - much stronger than OEM cast aluminum construction Finished in brilliant silver powder coating for maximum corrosion resistance Steel gussets are welded to the main bracket for added strength and power-holding capability Integrated locating dowels prevent bushing rotation and ensure proper alignment under load Dimensionally identical to the OEM part - fully compatible with OE-style bushings and factory hardware Features & Benefits:

Direct replacement for Genuine European BMW part number 23702227892 Finished in brilliant silver powder coating for maximum corrosion resistance Retains factory mounting points and driveline geometry for hassle-free installation Product Development:

Our Heavy Duty Transmission Crossmember was designed, engineered, tested, and quality inspected by our Research and Development team. We strive for nothing but the highest level of precision and quality through leading-edge product development technology, including FARO laser scanning for reverse engineering and quality inspection, SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling, rapid prototyping utilizing our in-house 3D printer, and rigorous long-term product testing.

BMW vehicles are known for their robust performance, but the water pump is a notorious weak spot, often needing replacement every 60,000 miles.

During this service, it's wise to also swap out the thermostat to maintain the efficiency of your vehicle's cooling system. Turner Motorsport simplifies this process with our expertly curated Water Pump & Thermostat Replacement Kit.

This premium kit centers around the renowned EMP Stewart high-performance water pump--a favorite among BMW enthusiasts for its exceptional design. Featuring a stainless steel impeller, this pump enhances coolant flow by 20%. Complementing this is a low-temperature 68°C (154.4°F) Mishimoto thermostat, an upgraded aluminum thermostat housing, and Redline Water Wetter coolant additive. Together, these components make for the ultimate cooling system upgrade for your E36, E39, or Z3!

Just like the rest of your vehicle's major systems, the cooling system must also be addressed periodically to ensure proper cooling and component reliability. Plastic and rubber components become brittle and prone to splitting or cracking after long periods of heating and cooling cycles, especially in colder climates! The coolant itself can degrade or become contaminated, leading to potential corrosion or freezing issues. Finally, thermostats and sensors can fail completely, preventing proper cooling and/or coolant temperature readings to become inaccurate.

To make sure you are not left stranded on the side of the road with an overheated engine, we have put together this Basic Cooling System Service kit. This kit contains all of the most-likely-to-fail components, giving you peace of mind knowing your engine will continue to run cool for another 60,000+ miles.

See kit contents below for all included components.
