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

BMW vehicles are known for their robust performance, but the water pump is a notorious weak spot, often needing replacement every 60,000 miles.

During this service, it's wise to also swap out the thermostat to maintain the efficiency of your vehicle's cooling system. Turner Motorsport simplifies this process with our expertly curated Water Pump & Thermostat Replacement Kit.

This premium kit centers around the renowned EMP Stewart high-performance water pump--a favorite among BMW enthusiasts for its exceptional design. Featuring a stainless steel impeller, this pump enhances coolant flow by 20%. Complementing this is a low-temperature 68°C (154.4°F) Mishimoto thermostat, an upgraded aluminum thermostat housing, and Redline Water Wetter coolant additive. Together, these components make for the ultimate cooling system upgrade for your E36, E39, or Z3!

As a common failure point among all BMW models, the water pump should be serviced every 60,000 miles. While doing so, it's wise to change the thermostat to ensure proper functionality of your vehicle's cooling system. Thankfully, Turner Motorsport has combined these parts into one simple kit, making your cooling system refresh easier than ever. This Water Pump & Thermostat Replacement Kit Includes:

The thermostat regulates the temperature of your coolant. At a predetermined temperature the thermostat will open to let coolant flow to the radiator and be cooled by airflow or the fan. Over time the thermostat will become stuck open or closed, leading to a variety of issues. A closed thermostat will never allow the coolant to reach the radiator and be cooled. Hot coolant will continue to circulate through the engine and absorb even more heat until boiling and the system overheats. An open thermostat is not as bad but is still not ideal - the coolant is always cool, with the temp needle always reading in the cool range. This tells the ECU to richen the fuel mixture to bring the car up to normal operating temp. So your fuel mileage decreases and the car runs rich.

Replacing the thermostat is an easy but messy job. This thermostat includes the main o-ring (but a housing gasket may be required). Consider replacing the housing and any associated temp sensors while you're in there. The cooling system will need to be bled after.

Most of the engines from the mid-1980s through the 1990s use the same thermostat design and they are interchangeable among the different temperatures. This is the 88* thermostat, towards the top of the range. However, keep in mind that BMW spent a lot of time engineering the cooling system to work in all kinds of conditions and changing thermostat temperature is not recommended to fix any failures in the cooling system.
