BMW Cooling System Parts & Accessories for BMW 3 Series E92 (2007-2013)

Our Turner Motorsport's full aluminum expansion tank was designed and engineered in house to help with the weak point in your N52/N54 cooling system. The coolant expansion tank goes through heat cycles over and over again from regular driving, it is important that your expansion tank is doing its job to retain coolant to keep your engine operating temperatures down and keep your engine bay clean. Not only is this a major upgrade but also a great maintenance item to replace. Our expansion tank was designed to fit the OEM hoses for an easy install and comes with all the upgraded items you will need for a clean install

If your BMW needs a new expansion tank, make sure this is the last expansion tank you ever need to buy. Our coolant expansion tank has a full aluminum construction and wrinkle black powder coat for durability. Expansion tank kit comes with all the accessories you need to replace your expansion tank once, and never have to worry about it again.

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:

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!
