Mahle-Behr BMW Cooling System Parts & Accessories for BMW 3 Series E46 (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.

This OEM Hella/Mahle-Behr engine fan clutch fits BMW E46 M3, Z3 M Roadster, M Coupe 2001-2002, E34 535i & M5, and E32 735i 735il. Made to the same or higher standards of quality as the genuine part, ensuring proper fan control and cooling. Failed fan clutches can result in overheating due to the fan not spinning fast enough to deal with excess heat or can cause poor engine performance when a clutch has locked up causing the fan to be fully engaged permanently.

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::

This coolant reservoir is for the non-M E46 3-series models from 1999-2006 (M3 takes a different expansion tank). 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 is the most recent expansion tank design from Hella-Behr, the OEM supplier to BMW. It replaces the original BMW part number 17137787039.

Other items to consider replacing at the same time are the radiator cap, coolant level sensor, lower radiator hose, coolant temp sensor in the lower hose, and the hose clamps. If your car has an automatic transmission you should also replace the oil cooler thermostat in the radiator frame, which is a common source for leaks.

This coolant expansion tank fits:

1999-2006 E46 3 series - 323i, 323Ci, 325i, 325Ci, 325xi, 328i, 328Ci, 330i, 330Ci & 330xi (**no M)
