ECS BMW Cooling System Parts & Accessories for BMW Z Series E85/6 (2003-2008)

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.

Replace the flimsy plastic bleeder screw used in the coolant expansion tank or in one of the cooling system hoses with this high quality, durable, aluminum bleeder screw. The stock plastic screw can deform over time due to heat or even regular use. We have even seen the head of the screw snap off, leaving the threaded body stuck in the expansion tank. This aluminum screw will help to prevent sudden failure of the bleeder screw, which can result in immediate overheating of the car.

Most of the pulleys on your BMW engine are plastic, which become brittle and frail over time and from engine bay heat. A failed pulley could leave you stranded which is why it is vital to inspect the pulleys during routine maintenance. This is an aluminum version of the stock water pump pulley used on the M50/M52/M52TU/M54 engine in the E36, E46, Z3, Z4, and other models. It uses the same hardware and the original belt as the stock plastic pulley. But the aluminum will last much longer.

When it comes to cooling system hose replacement, the "U" shaped hose connecting the water pump to the thermostat is usually the first to fail. A lot of this comes from its close proximity to the hot downpipes, while some of this failure comes from the sharp bends in the hose. 

Why not upgrade when you're due for a replacement? The ECS Tuning silicone hose replacement fixes these issue with two key features in their design. Offering this hose in a much more heat resistant silicone instead of OE rubber and having the hose wrapped in aluminum. The aluminum coating acts as a heat shield to further protect the silicone as well as reducing the temperatures forced on the coolant running through the hose.

Some of the biggest issues when owning a BMW can come from cooling system components. Even through years of improvement, the same failure is seen with the plastic fittings and adapters from years of hot to cold temperature fluctuation. The N52/N54/N55/N20 engine sees failure at the plastic cylinder head outlet adapter connecting the cylinder head to the thermostat hose. The stock plastic adapter simply shears off at the end of the barbed fitting, creating a massive coolant leak. The engineering team at ECS Tuning decided a billet aluminum piece was a much better option to contend with the temperature fluctuation. Since other offerings on the market want you to modify your OE hose to be reused, they even developed a silicone replacement hose. These 2 pieces can be purchased separately if you decide to reuse your existing OE hose or in a package kit together for a single click upgrade. Features: Manufactured from billet 6061-T6 with type III anodized for exceptional durability and corrosion resistance. Much stronger part than OEM plastic ​​Will not become brittle and fatigued over time due to thermal cycling. This will prevent the part from breaking during removal and re-installation. Follows OEM form for perfect fitment. Utilizes (and includes) OEM O-ring 11537545278 to ensure a proper seal. Recommended clamp size is 25-40mm

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: 11537545890
