Turner Motorsport BMW Cooling System Parts & Accessories for BMW 1 Series

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.

BMWs are well-known for their problematic cooling systems, which are often a catalyst for irreversible engine damage and a hefty repair bill. The coolant expansion tank—a crucial component responsible for holding hot engine coolant under high pressure—is a common cause of cooling system issues. Unfortunately, BMW chose to manufacture the factory E9X N55 expansion tank out of plastic. After years of exposure to high coolant temperatures, ambient engine bay heat, and chemical-rich antifreeze, the plastic degrades, eventually weakening enough to fail catastrophically.

With this issue in mind, our team of BMW enthusiasts engineered the ultimate cooling system upgrade for E82/88 and E90/92/93 owners: a heavy-duty expansion tank built to last! Crafted from durable 5052 TIG-welded aluminum, this tank resists high temperatures and pressures without degrading over time. Unlike the fragile OEM plastic tank, Turner’s design eliminates the risk of cracking, leaking, or failure. Upgrade to our Heavy Duty Aluminum Expansion Tank Kit and say goodbye to expansion tank issues for good!

To guarantee exact fitment, the upgraded tank was designed using advanced 3D CAD modeling. All bungs, nipples, and fittings are precision-machined to ensure a secure seal with factory hose ends. Unlike other aftermarket options, this tank maintains the factory coolant capacity and includes our laser-cut logo plate at the top, providing an accurate fill level. Internal baffles are incorporated to prevent fluid cavitation, eliminating air pockets in the cooling system and avoiding false coolant level warnings during spirited driving.

Engineered for high-performance builds and daily drivers alike, this expansion tank boasts a premium wrinkle black powder coat finish for a clean "OEM+" aesthetic. This tough coating not only enhances appearance but also protects against corrosion for long-term durability. The kit includes a silicone overflow hose, a high-quality level sensor, and an OE expansion tank cap, offering a complete cooling system upgrade. Avoid the risks of the factory expansion tank—upgrade your N55-equipped BMW today and drive with confidence!

Features & Benefits:

Durable 5052 TIG-Welded Aluminum Construction: Ensures long-term reliability and eliminates expansion tank failure. Premium Wrinkle Black Powder Coat Finish: Offers an "OEM+" appearance while preventing corrosion. Factory Coolant Capacity Retention: Maintains the same coolant level as the original design. Laser-Cut Turner Logo Plate: Provides a clear and accurate fill level indicator. Internal Baffles: Prevent the introduction of air pockets during high-performance driving. Precision-Machined External Bungs and Fittings: Ensure a perfect fit for factory hose connections. Kit Includes:

Turner Motorsport Aluminum Expansion Tank Performance Silicone Coolant Overflow Hose Aluminum Coolant Bleeder Screw Ball Stud 6mm Fitting Expansion Tank Cap Coolant Level Sensor Product Development:

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.

Hotside intakes are a very common modification for N54 powered BMWs. Here at Turner Motorsport, we found ourselves unsatisfied with all existing solutions to relocate the coolant expansion tank to the cold side of your engine bay, freeing up real estate on the hot side. We decided to make an end all be all solution for people looking to relocate your expansion tank. All CAD designed in-house, our N54 aluminum expansion tank relocation kit allows you to seamlessly mount our new aluminum expansion tank on the cold side of your engine bay, featuring an integrated power steering pump reservoir mount. During the design process, we did everything possible to ensure no air pockets could develop in the cooling system even during spirited drives. The baffled tank is all TIG welded 5052 aluminum construction, featuring a carefully designed bleed passage. We also machined all of our bungs to accept OEM hose ends, to keep the fit and finish as OE+ as possible. Keeping with this same mindset, we made sure that coolant elevation matches OE exactly, and integrated a power steering pump reservoir mount. Our aluminum expansion tank accepts the OE coolant level sensor, bleeder screw, and coolant cap, but we include new ones with this kit, as we thought you should replace them during installation. See more about these features in the list below, and if you have any additional questions please feel free to call into our staff of skilled BMW enthusiasts at 1-800-280-6966.
