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,

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.

This expansion tank cap, from the E30 325is, is designed to give way at 20 PSI instead of 30 PSI, like the stock cap. In the event the system over-pressurizes, this cap should let go first, potentially saving your radiator, hoses, or other vital cooling system components. While there's no guarantee it will save your radiator, this small part could mean the difference between calling a tow service and making it home, and a little extra insurance never hurt. This cap is a high-quality aftermarket part from an OE supplier.
