BMW Cooling System Parts & Accessories for BMW 5 Series E61 (2006-2010)

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.

Red Line SuperCool Concentrate fortified with WaterWetter is a concentrated antifreeze/coolant designed to maximize the performance of your cooling system with superior protection against cavitation corrosion/erosion. Using SuperCool Concentrate diluted with distilled water protects the entire cooling system keeping new components like new for 5 years/150,000 miles and prevents further damage to older components. Red Line’s proprietary coolant additive formula enhances the fluid’s ability to transfer heat, reducing operating temperatures by up to 20*F and prolonging the life of the entire cooling system. Red Line's SuperCool is an OAT coolant that is a Nitrate and Silicate Free product with its own proprietary corrosion technology to offer superior protection for aluminum engines found in all European vehicles, performance vehicles, as well as other applications. SuperCool will not void the factory warranty either. It can be used to top off the existing coolant of any BMW and will not cause any ill-effects on the cooling system because it is silicate and nitrate free. It is still better to flush it out and switch completely to SuperCool to get all the full benefits of the product in performance and protection.

The N5X family of engines marked the start of a new era for BMW. The all-new aluminum block powerplants featured a host of technical upgrades, aiding in power output, reliability, and performance. Among these technological advances is an external electronic water pump, which removed load from the engine's accessory drive and allowed for advanced pulse-width-modulated (PWM) control.

From factory, the N52's electronic water pump is limited to a measly 200W output—strong enough for daily driving, but lacking in performance applications. Recognizing this shortcoming, ECS engineers set out to create a high-flow water pump upgrade that doesn't break the bank. Their high-quality adapter wiring harness and bracket allow you to install a 400W N54 water pump without any modification, an effortless, yet effective upgrade that doubles the output of the factory water pump!

By increasing coolant flow capacity, the 400W pump improves heat extraction from the cylinder head and engine block during high-load operation. This added thermal headroom is particularly beneficial for modified engines, sustained aggressive driving, track use, or operation in elevated ambient temperatures where the factory pump can operate near its limits. Improved circulation helps maintain more stable coolant temperatures and reduces the risk of localized hot spots.

Features & Benefits:

Upgrades to the more powerful 400W N54 water pump for increased coolant flow and improved engine cooling efficiency Sealed adaptor harness ensures secure connections and optimal operation under demanding conditions The N54 pump's higher power output offers longer-lasting, more effective cooling compared to the stock N52 pump Design:

40A fused power wire safely handles the increased power demands of the N54 pump, providing consistent and stable performance Sealed and robust construction, designed to withstand heat and moisture, ensuring reliability in even the most challenging environments Plug-and-play compatibility is designed for easy integration with the N52 engine and N54 water pump, minimizing installation time and complexity Kit Contents:

The perfect upgrade for your connection between your thermostat and cylinder head. Designed using durable silicone and billet aluminum to greatly outlast the OE rubber and plastic combination. Some of the weakest points of the cooling systems in BMW's can come down to the OE plastic fittings breaking down from the constant changes in temperature, softening these plastic components. When this happens, even simply moving the hose slightly could cause the fitting to crack, causing the coolant to leak all over. The ECS design silicone hose with billet aluminum adapter retains OE fitment with superior strength to not only handle the performance, but also stand up to the wear and tear of a daily driver. Features: Manufactured from billet 6061-T6 and type III anodized for exceptional durability and corrosion resistance. Much stronger part than OEM plastic Will not become brittle and fatigue over time due to thermal cycling. This will prevent the part from breaking during removal and re-installation. Constructed of 4-Ply reinforced silicone for improved durability over the failure-prone OE rubber hose. Flourosilicone lined internal layer for exceptional chemical resistance. Silicone offers reduced thermal conductivity as well as improved resistance to ozone and UV degradation for improved performance and durability. Follows OEM form for perfect fitment. Utilizes OEM O-ring 11537545278 to ensure a proper seal. Replaces Genuine BMW Part Number: 11537544638
