Doorbusters BMW Cooling System Parts & Accessories

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.

Turner Motorsport Doorbuster Cooling Upgrade Kit: Heavy Duty Expansion Tank & Mechanical Thermostat Conversion Kit for M52TU/M54 Take your BMW’s cooling system to the next level with this Turner Motorsport Cooling Upgrade Kit. Featuring a Heavy-Duty Aluminum Expansion Tank and a Mechanical Thermostat Conversion Kit, this combo is engineered to deliver ultimate reliability and superior performance for M52TU/M54 engines. Say goodbye to the cooling system failures common in stock setups—Turner Motorsport has you covered.

Turner Motorsport M52TU/M54 Heavy-Duty Expansion Tank Kit The Turner Motorsport Aluminum Expansion Tank is a premium upgrade designed to replace the fragile factory plastic tank, which is known to crack, leak, or even explode. Crafted for durability, this tank’s all-aluminum construction with wrinkle black powder coating ensures this is the last expansion tank you’ll ever need.

Why Upgrade? The factory plastic tanks on BMW M52TU/M54 engines are notorious for failure under heat and pressure. Avoid the risk of being stranded on the side of the road with a mess of coolant—Turner Motorsport’s aluminum expansion tank is built to withstand years of demanding use and intense heat cycles.

Key Features and Benefits:

Complete Kit: Includes Turner Aluminum Expansion Tank, coolant level sensor, expansion tank cap, and flared coolant pressure release line. OEM Fit & Capacity: Direct fit with no modifications, maintains stock coolant capacity and expansion volume. Baffled Design: Prevents air pockets during aggressive driving and ensures accurate coolant level readings. Premium Construction: TIG-welded 5052 aluminum with machined fittings for factory hose compatibility. Turner Motorsport M52TU/M54 Mechanical Thermostat Conversion Kit Replace your problematic factory plastic thermostat housing with Turner Motorsport’s high-quality billet aluminum Thermostat Conversion Kit. This upgrade not only provides increased reliability but also allows for thermostat swaps to suit specific temperature requirements, making it ideal for daily drivers and track cars alike.

Why Make the Switch? The factory plastic thermostat housing with its built-in thermostat is prone to cracking and requires the whole unit to be replaced during maintenance. Turner’s conversion kit changes the game by providing a durable billet housing with a replaceable thermostat for flexibility and lower maintenance costs.

Key Features and Benefits:

Increased Reliability: Uses an M50/S50 mechanical thermostat, including an 80°C thermostat for enhanced cooling control.
