BMW Radiators

Track-tested and street-ready. the ULTIMATE cooling system upgrade for your N54 or N55!

Ditch your failure-prone plastic end tanks and increase cooling capacity by 25%, all without modifying your core support or accompanying shrouds. The CSFxTurner Performance Triple-Pass Radiator is the best cooling system upgrade for your N54/N55-equipped BMW!

The BMW 135i and 335i deliver serious performance straight from the factory, thanks to the twin-turbocharged N54 and single-turbo N55 engines. With strong midrange torque, high-revving capabilities, and proven tuning potential, these engines punch well above their weight. However, while the powertrain excels, the factory cooling system often falls short, especially under sustained boost or track conditions. Heat soak, rising coolant temps, and long-term thermal stress are common issues for enthusiasts pushing their N54 or N55 hard, making a performance radiator an essential upgrade for reliability and consistency.

Recognizing the critical need for increased cooling capacity, the team at Turner Motorsport partnered with CSF Race, world leaders in high-performance cooling systems with over 50 years of experience. The result is an Upgraded Performance Radiator: a high-performance, motorsport-grade upgrade engineered to keep your N54/N55 cooler and on the track for longer.

Design:

CSF-Exclusive "B-Tube" Technology
Unlike conventional "O-tube" designs, CSF’s patented "B-tube" structure increases wall strength while creating a more efficient flow path. This alone accounts for a 15% increase in cooling capacity over an OE "O-tube" radiator!
Dual Core Design
2-Row 42mm Core (Dual Core) Featuring CSF's Exclusive B-Tube Technology
Two-Row Compact Structure
This radiator was designed with precise fitment in mind. While total tube count and size are increased, the overall radiator dimensions stay the same as OE, ensuring a drop-in fit with zero modifications required.
25% Increase in Cooling Capacity
All of the above design features translate to a massive 25% cooling increase over the stock radiator!

All backed by the Turner Lifetime Replacement Program.

BMWs turbocharged S55 engine uses a water-to-air charge air cooling system, with a front-mounted heat exchanger responsible for heat dissipation. Unfortunately, the factory single-row, 27mm core design is quick to heat soak under high load, leading to excessive intake air temperatures and potential limp mode conditions especially on modified or track-driven cars.

To solve this issue, we've developed a drop-in upgrade over the factory unit. Engineered for durability and maximum cooling efficiency, this heat exchanger is a must-have for high-horsepower street builds, spirited canyon driving, and extended track sessions. Built from TIG-welded 5052 aluminum, our design eliminates the factory plastic end tanks one of the systems most common failure points. Each heat exchanger features CNC-machined billet aluminum hose connections, mounting flanges, and brackets for perfect OE fitment and trouble-free installation.

By replacing the OEM 27mm single-row core with a robust 35mm dual-row design, this heat exchanger dramatically increases both cooling capacity and surface area. Frontal area jumps from 307mm to 475mm, resulting in a 100% increase in coolant volume and significantly improved heat-soak resistance. The outcome? Lower, more stable charge air temperatures that help your S55 deliver consistent, reliable power on the street or at the track.

ECS set out to solve these shortcomings with an all-aluminum, dual-row system designed for enthusiasts who demand more from their BMW. ECS engineers started by replacing the fragile plastic end tanks with TIG-welded 6061-T6 aluminum for unmatched durability. Each tank is precision-crafted with CNC-machined billet aluminum hose connections, flanges, and brackets, ensuring direct OE-style fitment with the factory hoses, fan shroud, and accessories—no cutting or modifications required.

Both the radiator and heat exchanger feature high-capacity, dual-row 42mm cores, a massive improvement over the factory’s 34mm and 25mm single-row designs. The result? Faster heat dissipation, lower intake air temperatures, and more consistent performance, whether you’re cruising or carving apexes.
