Both thermostat housing hoses to replace your worn out rubber and brittle plastic connections.

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.

Comes with both upper and lower thermostat hoses: 11537830715 Lower + 11537830716 Upper

   • These mounts provide firm support to keep the radiator securely in place, preventing unwanted movement or vibration, which is crucial for maintaining the cooling system’s efficiency during intense driving conditions.

3. Durability and Heat Resistance:

   • Built from high-quality, heat-resistant materials, these mounts are designed to withstand the rigors of both daily driving and track use. They ensure long-lasting performance even under high temperatures and stress.

4. Optimized Cooling Performance:

   • By ensuring the radiator is properly aligned and secured, these mounts help maximize the cooling system's performance. Proper positioning allows for efficient airflow through the radiator, which is vital for preventing overheating during demanding driving situations.

5. Easy Installation:

   • These offset radiator mounts are designed as a direct-fit replacement, making installation simple and straightforward. They are compatible with the BMW E30, E36, and E46, allowing for an easy upgrade to support larger or performance-focused radiators.

6. Perfect for Modified and Performance Builds:

   • Whether you're upgrading to a high-capacity radiator or modifying your vehicle for improved performance, these mounts offer the extra flexibility and stability needed for customized setups.

Benefits of Upgrading or Replacing:

• Extra Clearance for Larger Radiators: The offset design allows for better fitment, especially when upgrading to a larger or aftermarket radiator.
• Prevents Vibration and Damage: These mounts reduce the risk of damage caused by vibration or radiator movement, ensuring longer-lasting performance.
• Enhanced Cooling Efficiency: Properly securing the radiator ensures that it can work at peak efficiency, leading to better cooling performance during high-demand driving.

In summary, the BMW E30 / E36 / E46 Offset Lower Radiator Mounts are an excellent choice for enthusiasts looking to upgrade their cooling system or accommodate a larger radiator. Their durable construction, ease of installation, and offset design make them a valuable addition for performance builds or maintaining cooling system reliability in modified BMWs.

BMW E46 AAF Aluminum Radiator Mounting Kit provides a robust solution for mounting an aluminum radiator into the BMW E46 chassis without relying on the stock plastic mounts. Developed by Advanced Auto Fabrication, a company renowned for their expertise in producing high-performance race car components, this kit reflects their extensive knowledge and dedication to BMW race car design.

The mounting kit is designed to replace the stock mounting system and is compatible with lightweight aftermarket fans, as the stock electric fan cannot be used. Please note that this kit does not fit M3 models.

• Durable Construction: Made from high-quality aluminum for strength and longevity.
• Enhanced Cooling Efficiency: Allows for the use of aftermarket fans for improved cooling performance.
• Race-Ready Design: Reflects Advanced Auto Fabrication's expertise in BMW race car components.
• No Stock Plastic Mounts: Provides a more reliable and robust mounting solution than the factory system.

The auxiliary fan in your vehicle serves an extremely important role. When your car reaches temperatures that may be hazardous to your engine, the auxiliary fan moves air through the radiator to provide better cooling. Usually activated during times of stationary vehicle operation, it supplements the air usually driven through the radiator by driving down the road.

If your vehicle is getting too hot during traffic or at stop lights, your auxiliary fans are probably faulty. Replace yours with this piece from Bremmen Parts to restore the factory cooling in your vehicle and prevent catastrophic damage to your engine. Even if your fans are still operational but the blades are damaged or cracked, replacement is the only solution.

The cooling system is a weak point on any E46. Many cars develop issues in as few as 50,000 miles.

Overheating an inline 6 engine almost always results in large repair bill, and sometimes a warped cylinder head.

Replace yours with a high-quality OEM Nissens radiator to prevent further issues and potential overheating.

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.

Other items to consider replacing at the same time are the radiator cap, coolant level sensor, lower radiator hose, coolant temp sensor, 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.
