BMW Coolant Expansion Tanks for BMW X Series E83 (2004-2010)

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.

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. From 1974 to 2019, Bavarian Autosport was one of the premier vendors for BMW and MINI auto parts. We are happy to preserve the Bav Auto legacy by continuing to carry their high-quality products into the future. All Bav Auto parts will remain unchanged in design and sourced from the same OEM suppliers to ensure long-lasting reliability. We trust these parts, accessories, and upgrades so confidently that we back every Bavarian Autosport branded component with a 2-year warranty.

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.
