i am pretty sure that thermostat in the picture will not work. It looks like my dad's M3 thermostat. __________________

Just changed my thermostat. The one on the M42 looks like that. They are cheap though, like 15$ new at a parts store. I even think the local dealer had it at that cheap of a price. | | | | | 12-08-2007, 08:29 PM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: state college, pa Posts: 3,431 |
About a year ago, I paid $17 or so for my M44 thermostat and housing from Pelican. Not sure why it's $45 now, but I'd shoot Ed (bimmerbum) an email. __________________

wow.. That plastic housing looks like it would cause problems. I wonder if you could use the housing and thermostat off of an M42. Then you would have an aluminum housing that doesn't have to be replaced. You just replace the thermostat. I didn't think BMW used plastic housings any more after the problems that the old 635 and 7 series would have with the thermostat housing breaking.. Learn something new every day. | | | | |
