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

The water pumps in BMW N54 models are known for failure near 80,000 miles. This is a very common issue that often times leaves the owner stranded. This kit provides a single stop for the water pump and thermostat replacement to save the search and get you back on the road.

Included in this kit:

Thermostat
Water pump
Genuine BMW coolant
Mounting hardware required for both the thermostat and water pump

This packages covers the major components you would install along with a new water pump or thermostat. On the N54 cars (135i, 335i, 535i) the water pump and theremostat are mounted together. In fact, to get to the thermostat, BMW expects you to remove the water pump. This package covers the whole job. With the electric water pump now an integral part of the efficiency and performance of the engine, staying on top of its maintenance and replacement is the smart thing to do.

Our water pump/thermostat overhaul includes:

• OEM VDO electric water pump, p/n 11517588885 or 11517632426
• OEM mounting screws for water pump (set of 3), p/n 11517602123
• OEM Behr thermostat, p/n 11537549476
• Original BMW connecting hose from thermostat to water pump, p/n 11537545665
• Original BMW hose clamps for hose (x 2)
  
• BUY AS A PACKAGE AND SAVE $$!
  
  The water pump on the N54 engine has more cooling responsibilities than ever before. Not only must it provide cooling for the engine, but it's also pumping fluid used to cool the turbocharger oil and automatic transmission oil. The good news is that the pump only works when, and only as much, as it needs to. The engine computer dictates how much fluid needs to be pumped through the system depending on the load. That means the system can actually stop the pump when warmer temperatures are needed. No longer is the pump spinning all the time from an engine-driven belt. The bad news is that it's now an electrical part, so a failure is usually immediate and with no warning. And if the electronics are at fault, there is no way to rebuild or repair it. Fortunately, the engine computer will force a shut down or reduce power if a problem occurs, preventing catastrophic engine damage.
  
  How to avoid a water pump failure in the future? Replacing the water pump as part of a regular interval schedule will ensure you always have a functioning pump in place. Since this technology is relatively new for BMW, therefore the lifecycle of the pump isn't yet known, we have been recommending replacement every 80-100k miles. This package of OE/OEM parts covers everything with Original BMW coolant offered to finish off the job. A proper bleeding procedure must be followed with the new electric pump.
  
  This water pump package fits the following BMWs with the N54 engine:
  2007-2010 E60 BMW 535i 535xi 535i xDrive
  2008-2010 E82 BMW 135i
  2011-2012 E82 BMW 1M Coupe
  2006-2010 E90 BMW 335i 335xi 335i xDrive - Sedan
  2007-2010 E92 BMW 335i 335is 335xi 335i xDrive - Coupe
  2007-2010 E93 BMW 335i - Convertible

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 CSF Aluminum Radiator for significantly better cooling than the stock radiator and full aluminum construction that won't crack from long term heat cycling, and a Mishimoto Performance 74*C thermostat for lower temperature operation and increased cooling of the engine. 

Additional items included in this kit:

• OEM Replacement Coolant Hoses
• ECS Tuning Silicone Coolant Outlet Hose with ECS Billet Thermostat Hose Adapter

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 point 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 stand up to the wear and tear of a daily driver.

Features: 

• Manufactured from billet 6061-T6 with type III anodize for exceptional durability and corrosion resistance.

  • Much stronger part than OEM plastic

  • Will not become brittle and fatigue over time due 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.

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:
