BMW Cooling System Parts & Accessories for BMW 1 Series E82 (2008-2013)

Track-tested and street-ready. the ULTIMATE cooling system upgrade for your N54 or N55!

Ditch your failure-prone plastic end tanks and increase cooling capacity by 25%, all without modifying your core support or accompanying shrouds. The CSFxTurner Performance Triple-Pass Radiator is the best cooling system upgrade for your N54/N55-equipped BMW!

The BMW 135i and 335i deliver serious performance straight from the factory, thanks to the twin-turbocharged N54 and single-turbo N55 engines. With strong midrange torque, high-revving capabilities, and proven tuning potential, these engines punch well above their weight. However, while the powertrain excels, the factory cooling system often falls short, especially under sustained boost or track conditions. Heat soak, rising coolant temps, and long-term thermal stress are common issues for enthusiasts pushing their N54 or N55 hard, making a performance radiator an essential upgrade for reliability and consistency.

Recognizing the critical need for increased cooling capacity, the team at Turner Motorsport partnered with CSF Race, world leaders in high-performance cooling systems with over 50 years of experience. The result is an Upgraded Performance Radiator: a high-performance, motorsport-grade upgrade engineered to keep your N54/N55 cooler and on the track for longer.

Design:

CSF-Exclusive "B-Tube" Technology
Unlike conventional "O-tube" designs, CSF’s patented "B-tube" structure increases wall strength while creating a more efficient flow path. This alone accounts for a 15% increase in cooling capacity over an OE "O-tube" radiator!
Dual Core Design
2-Row 42mm Core (Dual Core) Featuring CSF's Exclusive B-Tube Technology
Two-Row Compact Structure
This radiator was designed with precise fitment in mind. While total tube count and size are increased, the overall radiator dimensions stay the same as OE, ensuring a drop-in fit with zero modifications required.
25% Increase in Cooling Capacity
All of the above design features translate to a massive 25% cooling increase over the stock radiator!
FEATURES & BENEFITS

Direct-fit upgrade, no modifications required!
Accepts all OEM attachments via CNC-machined "Quick-Connect" hose ends and accessory mounting provisions
TIG-welded aluminum construction provides increased durability
An all-aluminum drain plug replaces the weak OE plastic unit, ensuring seamless functionality for the life of the radiator
Increased cooling efficiency for high-performance and racing use
Aluminum drain plug
Designed and tested by Turner Motorsport in collaboration with CSF Race
Backed by the Turner Lifetime Replacement Program
Every unit features precision CNC-machined brackets and OE-style connections for a seamless, drop-in installation using factory or aftermarket hoses. Whether you're building a track weapon or a high-horsepower street car, this Turner x CSF radiator is the cooling solution your N54 or N55 needs to perform reliably under pressure. All backed by the Turner Lifetime Replacement Program.

If your vehicle is experiencing cooling issues, chances are the thermostat is the cause. Common symptoms include prolonged warm-up at highway speeds from the thermostat being stuck open, or consistent overheating issues from the thermostat being stuck in the closed position. Either condition can result in poor performance, and potential damage to vital components in your vehicle.

Kit includes

• Wahler Thermostat
• 1 liter of Coolant

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.

Engine running a little hot or is the temp gauge not telling you anything? The thermostat might be the likely problem. Many cooling issues start with the thermostat. This is electronically controlled by the engine computer based on the cooling demands from the engine. And cooling components are working harder than ever. Engine performance is also dependent on temperature - as temperatures rise and pass a certain threshold the engine computer will begin reducing power. Stay on top of your cooling maintenance by replacing critical components preventatively. This replacement thermostat fits many of the N51 N52 N53 N54 6 cylinder engines and is an OEM Behr part.  

The thermostat is located along with the water pump on the side of the engine. To gain access for removal you may need to remove the water pump as well. If the water pump is removed you MUST replace its mounting bolts. You can add them from the options below. We also have a bundled package that includes the water pump, mounting screws, connecting hose, and clamps if you want to replace everything together (recommended).  

For the following BMW engines:
