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.

This is a customizable cooling system overhaul kit, which starts off with the basic radiator and water pump and can be configured to replace all the M54 common cooling system failure parts in one package. This cooling system package is for the 2003-2005 Z4 Roadster.

The Z4 cooling system is much like that of the sister 3 series. Several of the primary cooling components are prone to failure within 60k miles (or less in many cases). A failure in the cooling system can lead to overheating and catastrophic engine failure. Don't gamble your engine! By replacing these core items preventatively, such as the radiator & waterpump, you are defusing what could be a ticking cooling system time bomb. And if you've had a failure of one of these parts, now is the time to refresh your cooling system. Available with our kit is an OEM Behr radiator, an Original BMW water pump (with updated composite impeller), thermostat (complete with housing), radiator cap, new hoses, and other essential cooling parts.

Optional items (which can be added below):
  • Radiator cap
  • Major cooling hoses
  • Original BMW antifreeze
  • Upgrade the water pump to a Stewart EMP High Performance pump
  • Add a new coolant expansion tank (known for cracking)
  • Include a new coolant level sensor (known for failing / throwing "check coolant" messages)
  • Include a new coolant temp sensor (located in the lower radiator hose) (re-using the old sensor and seal may lead to a leak)
  • Add a new thermostat for an automatic transmission (located with the expansion tank).
    This cooling system overhaul kit fits the following BMWs:
    2003-2005 E85 BMW Z4 2.5i Z4 3.0i

    It is important that your coolant system is serviced at regular intervals to ensure a long life. Over time, coolant systems are exposed to high temperatures and repeated thermal cycling, which causes warping, cracking, and hardening of plastics and rubber components in the coolant system. This can lead to coolant leaks and overheating, which can result in extensive engine damage if not resolved in a timely manner. This Water Pump & Thermostat kit helps to address a few of the most problematic parts, replacing these items entirely to keep your cooling system running optimally and efficiently.

    This is the coolant temperature sensor used in many BMW models from the late-1990s to the mid-2010s. The engine computer relies on the coolant temp to set the fuel mapping for the engine. As the car warms up the computer changes the fuel mixture. If your car is running a bit rich (too much fuel) it could be because this sensor is failing and not sending the correct info to the computer. This sensor is located in a variety of places depending on the engine. But it's one of those easy replacement items 'while you're in there' when doing a water pump or thermostat replacement. From 1974 to 2019, Bavarian Autosport was one of the premier vendors for BMW and MINI auto parts. We are happy to preserve the Bav Auto legacy by continuing to carry their high-quality products into the future.
