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.

This coolant reservoir is for the non-M E46 3-series models from 1999-2006 (M3 takes a different expansion tank). We have found that the expansion tanks should be replaced based on age as well as condition. Expansion tanks seem to have a lifespan of less than six years before they show signs of fatigue and wear. Pre-emptively replacing the expansion tank as part of an overall maintenance plan can prevent you from getting stranded from a sudden failure later on. This is the most recent expansion tank design from Hella-Behr, the OEM supplier to BMW. It replaces the original BMW part number 17137787039.

Other items to consider replacing at the same time are the radiator cap, coolant level sensor, lower radiator hose, coolant temp sensor in the lower hose, and the hose clamps. If your car has an automatic transmission you should also replace the oil cooler thermostat in the radiator frame, which is a common source for leaks.

This coolant expansion tank fits:

1999-2006 E46 3 series - 323i, 323Ci, 325i, 325Ci, 325xi, 328i, 328Ci, 330i, 330Ci & 330xi (**no M)
2004-2008 X3 SAV - X3 2.5, X3 3.0, X3 3.0si
2000-2005 X5 SAV - X5 3.0

Genuine BMW expansion tanks have a bad habit of failing after a few years. This has primarily been caused by the plastic construction of the expansion tanks. After enough heat cycles, the plastic becomes brittle and can crack, causing coolant to leak out and air to enter the coolant system. If a failing expansion tank is not addressed soon enough, the coolant loss can lead to an overheating engine. This kit includes two brand new high quality expansion tanks and caps

This high quality BEHR brand expansion tank is used on M50, M52, S50 and S52 engines, and is a common failure item on all E36 3 series with 6 cylinder engines (325/328/323 and M3) 1992-1999, Z3 with 2.8 liter, MZ3 Roadster/Coupe (S52), and E39 528i from 1997-1998. BEHR was the original equipment supplier to BMW, so you know the BEHR made expansion tank will be the highest quality available. Be leary of competitors selling this part for less -- is it a BEHR? Probably not. We only carry the BEHR brand expansion tank as it is the only one we use in our own BMWs.

If you are overhauling your coolant system, now is the time to consider preventative replacing this expansion tank. These are known to go bad, causing a leak which can leave you stranded. We have found that the expansion tanks should be replaced based on age as well as condition. Expansion tanks seem to have a lifespan of less than six years before they show signs of fatigue and wear. Pre-emptively replacing the expansion tank as part of an overall maintenance plan can prevent you from getting stranded from a sudden failure later on.

Need a new coolant level sensor too? If your coolant level sender is bad, your on board computer will constantly display a "low coolant" message (unless your coolant is actually low...). If you're replacing your expansion tank, now is a great time to replace this failure prone sensor. If you want a new coolant level sensor, simply choose from the option below. Because there are different sensors for different year/model BMWs, please be as specific as possible when you give us your car info during checkout (model, year, production date). Thanks!


This item fits the following BMWs:
1992-1998 E36 BMW 323ic 325i 325is 325ic 328i 328is 328ic M3
1997-1998 E39 BMW 528i

The Precision Raceworks Billet Coolant Cap Set is a functional and stunningly stylish way to add a nice touch to any engine bay! These caps come in three color options, so there is always a color that will work for you! Black with Billet Silver, Black with Blue, and the Stealth series (all black). Many people don't realize it, but the OEM caps have a pressure release valve built into them. Oftentimes, aftermarket companies don't know this either or just don't care. But our team cares about proper function just as much as we care about the appearance of every product we design. For pressure relief, our caps incorporate the OEM internals, so you get all the functionality of the original caps, ensuring a safe and reliable system in place. These caps offer superior style and performance-grade components that guarantee a reliable fit every time. Durable billet aluminum construction provides long-lasting protection and dependability that will upgrade your engine bay for years to come. PLEASE NOTE: These do require assembly and swapping the pressure relief valves from your old caps to your new billet caps.
