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.

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 is the fan that turns on when the air conditioning is activated electronically. It’s not driven by the belt and it pushes air through the condenser. If it breaks, it might be an electrical issue that usually occurs in the motor within the fan, as it will fail to engage. There is also a chance that the blades might get damaged as well. No matter how your fan got damaged, be sure to replace it to keep air circulating evenly.
