Product Information

Comprehensive overhaul kit, includes everything you need to refresh your E46's cooling system

A lot has been written on the E46 3-series cooling system. In our opinion no source is as definitive as Mango's thread on E46Fanatics. Not only is this resource great for first time BMW owners it's also great for seasoned E46 owners who have dealt with failed expansion tanks, cracked radiators, and failed water pumps.

This kit has been built around the premise of that thread and includes all major cooling system parts that are notorious problems on the E46 3-series. Included in this kit are the recommended parts from the E46Fanatics thread. This kit features a Saleri OEM water pump, Modine/CoolXpert OEM expansion tank, Wahler thermostat, and Nissens radiator. Additionally, we include OEM Contitech drive belts, OEM Rein upper/lower radiator hoses, and other supporting hardware.

The only thing not included in this kit are the belt tensioners or pulleys. Due to mixed installation of pulleys/tensioners and also because many will have different replacement intervals on these components we have decided to keep these as option. Please see the links below for the belt tensioners and idler pulley.

Add on options:
11287841228 - Main Drive Belt Idler Pulley
11287838797 - Main Drive Belt Tensioner (Hydraulic)
- or -
11281427252 - Main Drive Belt Tensioner (Mechanical)
11281433571 - A/C Belt Tensioner

Cooling System Service Kit

A cooling system service involves checking and replenishing the coolant fluid in a vehicle's engine cooling system, typically including inspecting hoses, belts, the radiator, water pump, and thermostat for leaks, damage, or wear, and replacing the coolant with fresh fluid if necessary; failure symptoms include a rising temperature gauge on the dashboard, visible coolant leaks, steam coming from under the hood, low coolant levels, and a sweet smell near the engine

Cooling System Service Kit Failure Symptoms
  • Overheating engine: The most significant sign, indicated by a high-temperature gauge reading
  • Coolant leaks: Visible puddles under the car, especially near the radiator or hoses
  • Steam from under the hood: A sign of boiling coolant

Borger Warner Thermostat failed internally
If you can, buy OEM parts, just because it's roulette if you don't... This kit came with a Borge Warner T-Stat, and other mix branded parts. Didn't know anything about Borge Warner before, and, of course, thought that if FCP is putting it in their kit, it'd be fine because they back everything they sale. But T-stat had failed pretty early, less than a year into the install, and I didn't even know it because it was an internal failure. I have used other brands, Bear, Wagner, and BMW T-stats, they all worked fine in my past cars. But for some reason, bad parts come into play sometimes, and more often with non-BMW brand parts, as how this kit did for me... That said, FCP has a great return policy. And that's why I gave it a try. If I were to do it again, I would be much better off piecing together my own kit, with as many 'core' parts using BMW brand as possible, like the thermostat. saving time - because you are the one who will be taking the failed part off and putting the new one in, and saving money - because you are the one who will have to pay for return shipping. My advice is don't buy these 'kits' from anyone if you can help it. It's exactly like getting the "Chefs Special" and take that from a chef myself, you don't ever want that even from Bobby Flay himself. It's just sneaking in inventory they can't move as quickly. There's a reason for that poor movement, and likely was undiscovered before FCP decided to stock their warehouse with it. Anyway, don't buy this kit. Just buy the parts you really need.

BMW E46 Cooling System Overhaul Kit - 376716261KT
This kit is wonderful!!! It supplied everything I needed to work on the cooling system of my 2000 BMW 323i. If you have any doubt or don't know the history of your cooling system (this was my case since the car was bought used), I highly recommend you purchase this kit and overhaul your system. Everything works well together - no problems at all!

Cooling System Overhaul Kit
Just finished up installing this kit on my 211K mile E46 330i. Everything that I needed was included with the kit and all the parts felt very high in quality. Definitely would recommend this to anyone needing an overhaul or even if you're just replacing one thing, might as well spend the extra and do everything.

Question Posted by a customer
I am looking to replace my cooling system and the kit is the clear way to go for me but I want the upgraded water pump and pulley. Is is possible to get the kit with those parts?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
This kit is set up as is and parts cannot be substituted. If you want to replace the water pump pulley with an upgraded option you'll need to add the individual items from the kit (linked in kit contents) to a cart.
Question Posted by Michael
Hello, Can this kit be changed to include a radiator that supports an automatic transmission set up in a 2000 BMW 323ci rather than a standard transmission? Thanks
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
We have kits specifically for automatic transmission vehicles. For example, see p/n 376716271KT2 for your vehicle specifically.
Question Posted by a customer
kit should probably include coolant
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
We carry an array of antifreeze which are compatible with BMW engine metallurgy. To make this kit as simple as possible we did not include antifreeze as some customers have gallons laying round in reserve. For antifreeze options see the link below. <br> [BMW Antifreeze](/products?keywords=82141467704&search_only=parts)
