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

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

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

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.
