BMW Cooling System Parts & Accessories for BMW E46 M3 S54 (1999-2005)

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.

Unlike factory rubber hoses, silicone can withstand higher temperatures and pressures with minmal wear. Rubber will wear out and weaken so don't let it bite you when it counts! Silicone has been proven during extreme racing conditions and won't be the weak link that ruins your day.

This kit is specifically designed for the enthusiast that wants uprated cooling hoses, but also wants to address the heat-cycled plastic connectors and o-rings that are also prone to failure in higher mileage or older vehicles.

This E46 M3 ECS silicone hose set replaces two hoses - 
11537830716, upper radiator hose 
11537830715, lower radiator hose

Most of the pulleys on your BMW engine are plastic, which become brittle and frail over time and from engine bay heat. A failed pulley could leave you stranded which is why it is vital to inspect the pulleys during routine maintenance. This is an aluminum version of the stock water pump pulley used on the S54 engine in the E46 M3, MZ3, and Z4M. It's the same size and uses the same hardware and the original belt as the stock plastic pulley. But the aluminum will last much longer.

This radiator coolant reservoir/expansion tank for E46 M3 is a common failure item as the plastic weakens over time and stress crack will lead to coolant leaks. If your car has over 80k miles and hasn't had one of these replaced, we highly recommend it during your next major service. We have found that the aftermarket coolant reservoirs fail easier than the original BMW piece so we only offer the BMW type on this part.

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 item fits the following BMWs:
2001-2006 E46 BMW M3
