Complete Cooling System Overhaul Package - 1997-1998 E39 540i
A failure in the cooling system can lead to overheating and catastrophic engine failure. Don't gamble your engine! By replacing these core items preventatively, such as the thermostat housing, radiator, and waterpump, you are defusing what could be a ticking cooling system time bomb. And if you've had a failure of one of these parts, now is the time to refresh your entire cooling system.

Cooling Kit Options:
540 Water Pump Options (click to expand) There are three versions of the water pump for the early 1997-1998 540i: OEM plastic impeller, updated metal impeller, and the more recently updated composite impeller. We recommend either the metal or composite impeller. These are what we use the most in our shop and what our technicians are comfortable with. On more recent models, BMW has used the composite impeller as original. There doesn't seem to be evidence of the plastic failing on this design (it did on the E36 3-series) but we feel most comfortable with the other options. Both the metal and composite manufacturers are OEM for BMW.
