BMW Cooling System Parts & Accessories for BMW 5 Series E60 (2004-2010)

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.

The cooling system is one of the major weak points on the N62 engine in the 550i/650i. The water pump itself won't last more than 100,000 miles in most cases and the engine itself is prone to coolant leaks from multiple locations. So a major 550i cooling system overhaul should be planned before the 100,000 mile mark. Aside from obvious leaks the 550i water pump will also squeal or screech indicating the bearings inside have worn. This package covers the water pump, thermostat, and radiator for the 2006-2010 E60 550i and E63 650i with a manual transmission.

The entire cooling system on the 550i is susceptible to leaks and poor performance. The condition of the rest of the cooling system should be considered along with the water pump and thermostat. Replacing the water pump will expose the front of the V8 engine where more problem areas may appear so plan accordingly. The biggest problem is the V8 valley pan gaskets and inner coolant tube seals. The tube carrying coolant through the valley is prone to leaking and replacement is a major job (see our valley pan pipe kit here). Additional items recommended to be replaced during the water pump job are: cooling hoses, expansion tank and cap, temp sensors, drive belts, and pulleys and tensioners.

Base 550i/650i Cooling Package includes:

  • OEM Behr radiator (17117519210)
  • OEM water pump (11517586779)
  • water pump pipe (back of pump to engine block) (11511439976)
  • OEM thermostat (11537586885)
  • BUY AS A PACKAGE AND SAVE $$!

    This item fits the following BMWs:
    2006-2010 E60 BMW 550i with manual transmission
    2006-2011 E63 BMW 650i with manual transmission

The Black Market Parts (by Precision Raceworks) BMW Billet Coolant Flange was designed as a replacement for the factory plastic flange that is found in the hose that connects the thermostat to the cylinder head. The plastic flange commonly cracks, which leads to coolant loss and engine overheating. Replace your coolant flange before disaster occurs and leaves you stuck on the side of the road.

The N54 engine is no stranger to oil cooling problems, that’s why we recommend installing the MSL Oil Thermostat. The standard oil thermostat will reach around 120 degrees Celsius with a normal driving style. The MSL Oil Thermostat will open at a lower temperature than the standard oil thermostat (at 85 degrees Celsius) and will keep the temperature stable between 95 and 105 degrees Celsius. Installing the MSL thermostat ensures a cooler oil temperature which will result in more stable performance, but above all this improves the reliability of the engine. It is recommended to install the thermostat, especially for cars that are tuned.

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.
