BMW Coolant Expansion Tanks

On certain models, namely E36, E46, and E90, the factory BMW expansion tank is prone to either breaking at connection points or blowing apart altogether. If you're starting to feel like your expansion tank is on borrowed time, it's probably time to replace with either a direct OE replacement, or strengthen your cooling setup with an aluminum expansion tank - we offer numerous performance upgrades for your expansion tank. Especially if you're someone who likes to track your BMW, we recommend upgrading your expansion tank to avoid ruining your track day.

Replace your fragile OEM plastic coolant bleeder screw, which is prone to cracking and failure, with a premium titanium upgrade built for strength and style under the hood. Factory plastic components weaken over time due to constant heat cycles, leading to brittleness and potential failure. Our titanium replacement delivers superior durability, being twice as strong as aluminum yet 45% lighter than steel, ensuring unmatched resilience and long-term reliability for your coolant system. More than an upgrade, it’s a must-have for engine longevity. CNC-machined from solid titanium, each screw features a laser-etched Burger Motorsports logo and is hand-burned to create unique color patterns—no two are alike. A heavy-duty replacement O-ring is included for a perfect fit.

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.
