Description
The right part.
Down to the detail.
BMW coolant expansion tank with cap and level sensor for selected petrol models. This brand new aftermarket BMW coolant reservoir replaces the main engine-cooling tank where OE 17138677649 or 17138617044 is specified.
Earlier OE reference: 17138617044. Main engine-cooling reservoir only—not the separate charge-air cooling tank. Match your original part and VIN.

BMW coolant expansion tank details.



Selected BMW fitment.
The BMW coolant expansion tank suits selected 2016–2021 petrol applications. Year range, engine and equipment vary by vehicle. The model groups below are a guide, not confirmation that every version fits.
| BMW series | Selected models | Chassis families |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Series | M140i | F20 / F21 |
| 2 Series | 230i / M240i | F22 / F23 |
| 3 Series | 330i / 340i | F30 / F31 / F34 |
| 4 Series | 430i / 440i | F32 / F33 / F36 |
Confirm OE 17138677649 / 17138617044, original tank shape, hose outlets, mounting points and sensor connector. Send your VIN and photographs to our team if anything differs. Not universal; not suitable for every diesel, M model or later-generation BMW.
What is supplied?
One plastic main engine-cooling expansion tank, one cap and one coolant level sensor. The sensor detects coolant level—not coolant temperature. Coolant and installation tools are not included. This is an aftermarket replacement, not a genuine BMW part.
Installation notes
Professional installation is recommended. Diagnose coolant loss before replacing parts, use the vehicle-specified coolant and follow the correct filling and bleeding procedure. Never open a hot or pressurised cooling system.

Good questions.
Clear answers.
A few checks now help you choose the correct BMW coolant expansion tank first time.
How do I check this tank fits?
Match OE 17138677649 or 17138617044, then compare the hose outlets, tank shape, mounting points and sensor connector. Send our team your VIN and original tank photographs before ordering if unsure.
Are the cap and level sensor included?
Yes. The package includes one BMW coolant reservoir, one cap and one coolant level sensor. Coolant and installation tools are not included.
Is this the charge-air cooling reservoir?
No. This is the main engine-cooling expansion tank. Some vehicles have a separate low-temperature / charge-air coolant reservoir; do not confuse the two.
Will this fix every coolant leak?
No. Diagnose the source of coolant loss first. Hoses, connections and other cooling-system components may also need attention. Professional diagnosis and installation are recommended.
When will it be available?
This product is currently out of stock. Use the email notification option at the top of this page or contact our Australian team for availability. No dispatch date is promised.
What does the replacement warranty require?
The three-year Parts Factory Australia replacement warranty is subject to the full terms. Professional installation and retained receipts are required; review the warranty policy for coverage and claim requirements.
