Mahle-Behr BMW Cooling System Parts & Accessories for BMW 5 Series E39 (1996-2003)

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.

This clutch engages the belt-driven engine fan when the engine is warm/hot, and dis-engages the fan when cold/cool. These commonly fail, causing the engine fan to not spin fast enough (or at all) when your car is stopped in traffic, causing engine to overheat.

This fan clutch fits many 6 cylinder BMWs, including the following::

Don't take chances! Proper maintenance is required to keep your BMW performing at peak levels. The thermostat basically controls when your car will overheat. The sensor on the housing is also used by the engine computer to set the fuel mapping on the engine. A faulty sensor or thermostat will lead to the engine running rich (too much fuel). This thermostat fits BMW E39 540i 99-03 E38 740i 99-01 X5 4.4i 4.6is 99-2003 with M62 engine.

This radiator expansion tank (coolant reservoir) is used on E39 540i from 1997-2003 and E38 740i 740il 750il from 1995-2001. It is a common failure item. We have found that the expansion tanks should be replaced based on age as well as condition. Expansion tanks seem to have a lifespan of less than six years before they show signs of fatigue and wear. Pre-emptively replacing the expansion tank as part of an overall maintenance plan can prevent you from getting stranded from a sudden failure later on. This OEM Hella tank will give you a long life-span and will put your worries to rest of possible failure and coolant loss.

This is the viscous fan clutch for the for the engine fan on M60/M62 V8 engines. When the engine is cool or even at normal operating temperature, the fan clutch partially disengages the engine's mechanically-driven radiator cooling fan. This saves power, since the engine does not have to fully drive the fan. If engine temperature rises above the clutch's engagement temperature setting, the fan becomes fully engaged, thus drawing a higher volume of ambient air through the vehicle's radiator, which in turn serves to maintain or lower the engine coolant temperature to an acceptable level.Typically, when the fan clutch fails the car with tend to overheat at idle or in slow moving traffic.

This item fits the following BMWs:
1993-1995  E34 BMW  530i 540i
