BMW Cooling System Parts & Accessories

Replace the flimsy plastic bleeder screw used in the coolant expansion tank or in one of the cooling system hoses with this high quality, durable, aluminum bleeder screw. The stock plastic screw can deform over time due to heat or even regular use. We have even seen the head of the screw snap off, leaving the threaded body stuck in the expansion tank. This aluminum screw will help to prevent sudden failure of the bleeder screw, which can result in immediate overheating of the car.

Unlike factory rubber hoses, silicone can withstand higher temperatures and pressures with minimal wear. Rubber will wear out and weaken so don't let it bite you when it counts! Silicone has been proven during extreme racing conditions and won't be the weak link that ruins your day.

This E36 ECS silicone hose set replaces two hoses - 
11531708499, upper radiator hose 
11531726344, lower radiator hose 

Why not upgrade when you're due for a replacement? The ECS Tuning silicone hose replacement fixes these issue with two key features in their design. Offering this hose in a much more heat resistant silicone instead of OE rubber and having the hose wrapped in aluminum. The aluminum coating acts as a heat shield to further protect the silicone as well as reducing the temperatures forced on the coolant running through the hose.

Ensure a tight and leak-free seal in your BMW's cooling, vacuum, or intake systems by installing a new adjustable hose clamp. Over time, clamps can deform or lose their tightness due to aging or frequent removal, potentially causing leaks in your coolant or vacuum hoses. Avoid the risk of leaks by replacing old clamps with new hardware, offering peace of mind against coolant and vacuum system issues.

Key benefits of the adjustable hose clamp include:

• Maintaining a secure and leak-free seal in your BMW's systems.
• Preventing coolant or vacuum leaks that can affect performance.
• Adjustable size from 70mm to 78mm for versatile applications.

Upgrade your hose clamps to ensure optimal performance and reliability in your BMW's systems.

The N5X family of engines marked the start of a new era for BMW. The all-new aluminum block powerplants featured a host of technical upgrades, aiding in power output, reliability, and performance. Among these technological advances is an external electronic water pump, which removed load from the engine's accessory drive and allowed for advanced pulse-width-modulated (PWM) control.

From factory, the N52's electronic water pump is limited to a measly 200W output—strong enough for daily driving, but lacking in performance applications. Recognizing this shortcoming, ECS engineers set out to create a high-flow water pump upgrade that doesn't break the bank. Their high-quality adapter wiring harness and bracket allow you to install a 400W N54 water pump without any modification, an effortless, yet effective upgrade that doubles the output of the factory water pump!

By increasing coolant flow capacity, the 400W pump improves heat extraction from the cylinder head and engine block during high-load operation. This added thermal headroom is particularly beneficial for modified engines, sustained aggressive driving, track use, or operation in elevated ambient temperatures where the factory pump can operate near its limits. Improved circulation helps maintain more stable coolant temperatures and reduces the risk of localized hot spots.

Features & Benefits:

Upgrades to the more powerful 400W N54 water pump for increased coolant flow and improved engine cooling efficiency Sealed adaptor harness ensures secure connections and optimal operation under demanding conditions The N54 pump's higher power output offers longer-lasting, more effective cooling compared to the stock N52 pump Design:

40A fused power wire safely handles the increased power demands of the N54 pump, providing consistent and stable performance Sealed and robust construction, designed to withstand heat and moisture, ensuring reliability in even the most challenging environments Plug-and-play compatibility is designed for easy integration with the N52 engine and N54 water pump, minimizing installation time and complexity Kit Contents:
