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.

Coolant G11 (Concentrate). The right anti-freeze agent makes a key contribution towards the reliable functioning of the engine cooling system under all operating and weather conditions. Cooler anti-freeze agents from Febi are precisely matched to the special requirements of the vehicle manufacturer and offer reliable protection from damages caused by freezing, corrosion, and cavitation. A good functioning cooling system is a primary prerequisite for the optimum operation of the engine. The ideal mixing ratio is 1:1, which offers frost protection to -36° C. With a ratio of 1:1 of water and concentrate, the boiling point of the cooling is approximately 107° C.+ High protection against freezing, corrosion, and cavitation Prevention of deposits and foam formation

This is a genuine BMW Motorsport part, designed specifically for BMW racing applications. We use this exact thermostat setup in our Championship-winning E46 330i race car. It is designed to be used on all M54 and M52TU double-VAN0S engines, as used in the 1999-2000 E46 323/328 and 2001-2005 E46 325/330. This 60 degree C (140 defrees F) thermostat comes complete with plastic thermostat housing. It does not use the plug and wiring for the stock DME so this should only be used with an aftermarket engine management system (Motec, Bosch, etc).

When doing any sort of repair or maintenance there is no replacement for genuine factory parts. Turner Motorsport carries the Genuine BMW brand with pride and has the parts you need to complete your next project with confidence.

This is the coolant temperature sensor used in many BMW models from the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s. The engine computer relies on the coolant temp to set the fuel mapping for the engine. As the car warms up the computer changes the fuel mixture. If your car is running a bit rich (too much fuel) it could be because this sensor is failing and not sending the correct info to the computer.

This sensor is located in a variety of places depending on the engine. But it's one of those easy replacement items 'while you're in there' when doing a water pump or thermostat replacement.

This coolant temp sensor fits the following BMWs:
1996-1999 E36 BMW 323is 323ic 328i 328is 328ic M3, located in cylinder head
1999-2003 E39 BMW 540i, located on side of water pump

Over the years and with exposure to extremely hot coolant, the coolant hoses in your vehicle can take a beating. Being made of reinforced rubber, these hoses can fail in a number of ways. Splitting at a hose clamp, swelling, cracking, and breaking are just a few of the ways this hose can leave you stranded. Replace it at the first sign of wear to keep your coolant in your engine. With the proper diameter, bends, and lengths, this is the perfect replacement for any swelled or damaged hose. An easy installation, it's piece of mind the next time you are on a long trip or your morning commute.
