BMW Cooling System Parts & Accessories for BMW Z3 (1996-2002)

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

The cooling system is arguably the weakest point in numerous BMWs. If you drive an aging BMW or plan on taking your car to the track like we do, we recommend beefing up your cooling system before going to the track. Generally, the main components in your cooling system that are prone to failure include the following: expansion tank, factory hoses, water pump, thermostat, fan (especially if your vehicle comes factory with a clutch fan), and radiator. Factory BMW expansion tanks are plastic and prone to either breaking off at connection points or combusting. As factory rubber hoses age they either crack or break over time - we offer silicone cooling hose upgrades for most applications to avoid future failures. If you have an older vehicle, your water pump likely comes from the factory with a plastic impeller - we offer upgraded water pumps with metal impellers that are far more reliable. Newer model BMWs utilize electric water pumps - BMW spent millions of dollars engineering these water pumps, but they fail so often that we recommend replacing at 60,000 mile service intervals to avoid being stranded on the side of the road. In terms of thermostats, we offer various upgraded thermostats for racing applications. If your BMW utilizes a clutch fan from the factory, we have several options available in terms of universal electric fans - we recommend replacing these to avoid sending brittle plastic fan blades through your hood. For radiators, we recommend swapping out your radiator for one that does not use plastic connection points like your factory radiator.

It is important that your coolant system is serviced at regular intervals to ensure a long life. Over time, coolant systems are exposed to high temperatures and repeated thermal cycling, which causes warping, cracking, and hardening of plastics and rubber components in the coolant system. This can lead to coolant leaks and overheating, which can result in extensive engine damage if not resolved in a timely manner. This Water Pump & Thermostat kit helps to address a few of the most problematic parts, replacing these items entirely to keep your cooling system running optimally and efficiently.

This fan is driven by the serpentine belt, engaged by the fan clutch. If you have bad motor mounts, it's quite common for the blades of this fan to make contact with the radiator or radiator shroud, essentially self-destructing the fan into many pieces. Be sure to get a new fan clutch, while you are replacing this.

This is the coolant temperature sensor used in many BMW models from the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s. The engine computer relies on the coolant temp to set the fuel mapping for the engine. As the car warms up the computer changes the fuel mixture. If your car is running a bit rich (too much fuel) it could be because this sensor is failing and not sending the correct info to the computer.

This sensor is located in a variety of places depending on the engine. But it's one of those easy replacement items 'while you're in there' when doing a water pump or thermostat replacement.

This coolant temp sensor fits the following BMWs:
1996-1999 E36 BMW 323is 323ic 328i 328is 328ic M3, located in cylinder head
1999-2003 E39 BMW 540i, located on side of water pump

The coolant expansion tank provides a place for excess fluid as coolant expands and contracts with temperature changes. Constant exposure to these extremes can cause the tank to crack, break, or suffer damage to its nipples or mounting points. To keep your cooling system sealed and functioning properly, any damaged tank should be replaced.
