Due to weak rubber and plastic construction, vital cooling system parts are prone to premature failure. Key components, such as radiator hoses, the thermostat, and the expansion tank are particularly prone to cracks, leaks, and catastrophic failure, which can lead to overheating and potentially severe engine damage. Fortunately, our team of experts has assembled this kit of high-performance alternatives and high-quality OE replacement components, both tailored to safeguard your cooling system from failure and increase cooling system capability.

Our Level 3 High-Performance Cooling System Service Kit is the ultimate solution for ensuring long-term reliability and enhanced cooling performance. Each component in this comprehensive kit has been carefully selected by our team of enthusiasts to address common failure points and provide a robust, performance-oriented upgrade for your vehicle. By replacing aging factory parts with premium, high-performance alternatives, you’ll optimize cooling efficiency and safeguard your engine from the stress of overheating.

Our all-inclusive "Level 3" High-Performance Cooling System Service Kit includes:

CSFxTurner Performance Triple-Pass Aluminum Radiator Turner Motorsport Heavy Duty Aluminum Expansion Tank ECS Silicone Radiator Hoses ECS Aluminum Water Pump Pulley Wahler Thermostat (80°C) Bremmen Aluminum Water Pump Bremmen Parts Auxiliary Fan Switch Continental Accessory Belt ECS Kevlar-Reinforced A/C Compressor Drive Belt Genuine BMW Water Pump O-Ring Genuine BMW Water Pump Bolts Genuine BMW G48 Antifreeze (1 Gallon) Redline Water Wetter Performance Coolant Additive (12 oz.)

Just like the rest of your vehicle's major systems, the cooling system must also be addressed periodically to ensure proper cooling and component reliability. Plastic and rubber components become brittle and prone to splitting or cracking after long periods of heating and cooling cycles, especially in colder climates! The coolant itself can degrade or become contaminated, leading to potential corrosion or freezing issues. Finally, thermostats and sensors can fail completely, preventing proper cooling and/or coolant temperature readings to become inaccurate.

To make sure you are not left stranded on the side of the road with an overheated engine, we have put together this Basic Cooling System Service kit. This kit contains all of the most-likely-to-fail components, giving you peace of mind knowing your engine will continue to run cool for another 60,000+ miles.

See kit contents below for all included components.

If you plan to drive your BMW aggressively on the track, it is important that you upgrade your cooling system to avoid overheating. To ensure your BMW keeps cool on the track, we have built out our new High Performance Cooling System Upgrade kits. Featured in this kit is everything you will need to redo your cooling system from top to bottom with OEM components, with select stock components swapped out for the high performance alternative! This kit includes a high performance Mishimoto Radiator, for significantly better cooling than the stock radiator and full aluminum construction that won't crack from long term heat cycling, a performance Mishimoto 70*C thermostat, for lower temperature operation and increased cooling of the engine, and a Stewart High Performance Water Pump, for dramatically increased coolant flow at all RPMs.
