Whether your S55-equipped BMW serves as a daily driver or track car, keeping temperatures cool is critical. While most enthusiasts focus on upgrading the radiator and water-to-air intercooler systems, the engine oil cooler is an overlooked yet critical component.

New for the F8X-generation M2, M3, and M4 is a low-slung, horizontally mounted oil cooler designed to harness underbody aerodynamics. By placing the cooler in a low-pressure zone, this design enhances airflow efficiency and achieves sustainable oil temperatures for stock and street-driven cars. However, the compact core is quickly overwhelmed on modified or track-driven vehicles. Its exposed mounting position also leaves it highly susceptible to impact damage, so a minor scrape or piece of road debris can mean a costly full replacement. If you’re already replacing your oil cooler, it’s the perfect time to upgrade!

Our engineering team set out to solve the shortcomings of the factory design by developing a larger, higher-capacity core that delivers measurable gains in thermal stability. With a 7% increase in core thickness over OEM, this upgraded unit enhances airflow through the cooler and helps maintain lower, more consistent oil temperatures under sustained load. Thanks to its robust bar-and-plate core, precision-formed sheet metal end tanks, and durable 5052 aluminum construction, it’s built to withstand the harsh realities of real-world performance driving.

Replaces OEM part numbers 17212284540 and 17214802333.

Our High Performance Aluminum Heat Exchanger was designed, engineered, tested, and quality inspected by our Research and Development team in our Wadsworth, Ohio, facility. We strive for the highest level of precision and quality through leading-edge product development technology, including FARO laser scanning for reverse engineering and quality inspection, SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling, rapid prototyping utilizing our in-house 3D printer, and rigorous long-term product testing.

BMWs are well-known for their problematic cooling systems, which are often the cause of 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 F8X 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 F80 M3, F82/F83 M4, and F87 M2 Competition owners: a heavy-duty expansion tank that is 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, our 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 S55-equipped BMW today and drive with confidence!

BMW F8X M3 M4 CTS Performance Heat Exchanger is designed to provide superior cooling for the BMW S55 engine platform, addressing the inefficiencies of the factory-installed heat exchanger. The factory front-mounted heat exchanger often struggles to keep tuned S55 engines cool, but this high-performance solution from Turner Motorsport is engineered to enhance cooling efficiency. Featuring a double-pass core, this heat exchanger is both larger and more effective than the factory unit while fitting perfectly into the stock location. Precision CNC-machined mounting points and hose connections ensure a seamless installation without the need for any cutting or trimming. Additionally, the integrated vent simplifies air bleeding from the cooling system after installation.

• Enhanced cooling: Provides superior cooling for tuned S55 engines, overcoming the limitations of the factory heat exchanger.
• Double-pass core design: Larger and more efficient than the stock unit for improved heat dissipation.
• Seamless installation: CNC machined mounting points and hose connections ensure easy installation without modifications.
• Integrated vent: Facilitates easy air bleeding from the cooling system post-installation.
