BMW Coolant Expansion Tanks for BMW E36 (1992-1998) M3

On certain models, namely E36, E46, and E90, the factory BMW expansion tank is prone to either breaking at connection points or blowing apart altogether. If you're starting to feel like your expansion tank is on borrowed time, it's probably time to replace with either a direct OE replacement, or strengthen your cooling setup with an aluminum expansion tank - we offer numerous performance upgrades for your expansion tank. Especially if you're someone who likes to track your BMW, we recommend upgrading your expansion tank to avoid ruining your track day.

If you have ever experienced a leaking plastic BMW expansion tank you will realize the value of this aluminum version straight away. Even if a failure has not happened to you, it's easy to tell this tank is much stronger and more durable than the plastic used in the stock design. The original BMW plastic tanks suffer from leaks and failures with no warning. While being lightweight and recyclable the design and construction of the stock tank is just not up for reliable long term use. Moroso coolant expansion tanks are all pressure tested for guaranteed leak-free operation and utilizes the stock pressure cap to prevent excessive pressure in the cooling system from blowing off a radiator hose or seal! Features: Each cooling system expansion tank includes a 1/8 in. pipe overflow fitting at neck, a 1/4 in. NPT water intake bung, and a 1/2 in. bung at the bottom for plumbing a line to the radiator Rugged 6061-T6 billet aluminum filler necks welded to tank to withstand continuous removal and installation of cap 100% pressure tested to eliminate leaks Accepts a standard-size radiator cap
