BMW Cooling System Parts & Accessories for BMW 1 Series E82 (2008-2013)

Track-tested and street-ready. the ULTIMATE cooling system upgrade for your N54 or N55!

Ditch your failure-prone plastic end tanks and increase cooling capacity by 25%, all without modifying your core support or accompanying shrouds. The CSFxTurner Performance Triple-Pass Radiator is the best cooling system upgrade for your N54/N55-equipped BMW!

The BMW 135i and 335i deliver serious performance straight from the factory, thanks to the twin-turbocharged N54 and single-turbo N55 engines. With strong midrange torque, high-revving capabilities, and proven tuning potential, these engines punch well above their weight. However, while the powertrain excels, the factory cooling system often falls short, especially under sustained boost or track conditions. Heat soak, rising coolant temps, and long-term thermal stress are common issues for enthusiasts pushing their N54 or N55 hard, making a performance radiator an essential upgrade for reliability and consistency.

Recognizing the critical need for increased cooling capacity, the team at Turner Motorsport partnered with CSF Race, world leaders in high-performance cooling systems with over 50 years of experience. The result is an Upgraded Performance Radiator: a high-performance, motorsport-grade upgrade engineered to keep your N54/N55 cooler and on the track for longer.

Design:

CSF-Exclusive "B-Tube" Technology
Unlike conventional "O-tube" designs, CSF’s patented "B-tube" structure increases wall strength while creating a more efficient flow path. This alone accounts for a 15% increase in cooling capacity over an OE "O-tube" radiator!
Dual Core Design
2-Row 42mm Core (Dual Core) Featuring CSF's Exclusive B-Tube Technology
Two-Row Compact Structure
This radiator was designed with precise fitment in mind. While total tube count and size are increased, the overall radiator dimensions stay the same as OE, ensuring a drop-in fit with zero modifications required.
25% Increase in Cooling Capacity
All of the above design features translate to a massive 25% cooling increase over the stock radiator!

This packages covers the major components you would install along with a new water pump or thermostat. On the N54 cars (135i, 335i, 535i) the water pump and theremostat are mounted together. In fact, to get to the thermostat, BMW expects you to remove the water pump. This package covers the whole job. With the electric water pump now an integral part of the efficiency and performance of the engine, staying on top of its maintenance and replacement is the smart thing to do.

Our water pump/thermostat overhaul includes:

• OEM VDO electric water pump, p/n 11517588885 or 11517632426
• OEM mounting screws for water pump (set of 3), p/n 11517602123
• OEM Behr thermostat, p/n 11537549476
• Original BMW connecting hose from thermostat to water pump, p/n 11537545665
• Original BMW hose clamps for hose (x 2)
  
• BUY AS A PACKAGE AND SAVE $$!
  
  The water pump on the N54 engine has more cooling responsibilities than ever before. Not only must it provide cooling for the engine, but it's also pumping fluid used to cool the turbocharger oil and automatic transmission oil. The good news is that the pump only works when, and only as much, as it needs to. The engine computer dictates how much fluid needs to be pumped through the system depending on the load. That means the system can actually stop the pump when warmer temperatures are needed. No longer is the pump spinning all the time from an engine-driven belt. The bad news is that it's now an electrical part, so a failure is usually immediate and with no warning. And if the electronics are at fault, there is no way to rebuild or repair it. Fortunately, the engine computer will force a shut down or reduce power if a problem occurs, preventing catastrophic engine damage.
  
  How to avoid a water pump failure in the future? Replacing the water pump as part of a regular interval schedule will ensure you always have a functioning pump in place. Since this technology is relatively new for BMW, therefore the lifecycle of the pump isn't yet known, we have been recommending replacement every 80-100k miles. This package of OE/OEM parts covers everything with Original BMW coolant offered to finish off the job. A proper bleeding procedure must be followed with the new electric pump.
  
  This water pump package fits the following BMWs with the N54 engine:
  2007-2010 E60 BMW 535i 535xi 535i xDrive
  2008-2010 E82 BMW 135i
  2011-2012 E82 BMW 1M Coupe
  2006-2010 E90 BMW 335i 335xi 335i xDrive - Sedan
  2007-2010 E92 BMW 335i 335is 335xi 335i xDrive - Coupe
  2007-2010 E93 BMW 335i - Convertible

If your vehicle is struggling with cooling problems, the thermostat might be to blame.

Just like the rest of your vehicle's major systems, the cooling system must also be addressed periodically to ensure proper cooling and component reliability. Plastic and rubber components become brittle and prone to splitting or cracking after long periods of heating and cooling cycles, especially in colder climates! The coolant itself can degrade or become contaminated, leading to potential corrosion or freezing issues. Finally, thermostats and sensors can fail completely, preventing proper cooling and/or coolant temperature readings to become inaccurate.

To make sure you are not left stranded on the side of the road with an overheated engine, we have put together this Basic Cooling System Service kit. This kit contains all of the most-likely-to-fail components, giving you peace of mind knowing your engine will continue to run cool for another 60,000+ miles.

See kit contents below for all included components.

If you plan to drive your BMW aggressively on the track, it is important that you upgrade your cooling system to avoid overheating. To ensure your BMW keeps cool on the track, we have built out our new High Performance Cooling System Upgrade kits. Featured in this kit is everything you will need to redo your cooling system from top to bottom with OEM components, with select stock components swapped out for the high performance alternative! This kit includes a high performance CSF Aluminum Radiator for significantly better cooling than the stock radiator and full aluminum construction that won't crack from long term heat cycling, and a Mishimoto Performance 74*C thermostat for lower temperature operation and increased cooling of the engine. 

Additional items included in this kit:

• OEM Replacement Coolant Hoses
• ECS Tuning Silicone Coolant Outlet Hose with ECS Billet Thermostat Hose Adapter
• ECS Tuning Aluminized Water Pump Hose
• OEM Expansion Tank, Cap, and Level Sensor
• OEM Belts, Tensioners, and Pulleys

This is a compete cooling system overhaul kit, which includes all the common cooling system failure parts bundled into a complete package. This cooling system package is for the E82/88 135i or E90/92/93 335i/xi/is with the N54 engine. 

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. Keep on top of the cooling needs of your engine for your own piece of mind. Potential buyers also see the upside of a properly maintained car with receipts.
