I would think you would want the cast thermostat housing....Is the water pump impeller steel? | | | | | 07-25-2012, 06:28 AM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Los Angeles, CA Posts: 1,464 |
Plastic housing is all you get with an M44, but I'd opt for the BEHR thermostat housing. Graf water pumps have a cast metal impeller- I've used them, they're good quality. Pelican probably has all that stuff for about the same price and as good or better quality. | | | | | 07-25-2012, 06:31 AM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2012 Location: Chicago Posts: 172 |

Given the fragility of the cooling systems of these cars, that is one place where I would not compromise on quality just to save a few bucks. Also, if you're going to go through the trouble of replacing the plastic connectors in the block and head (definitely get the OEM BMW parts for these two items), you might as well replace all the hoses connected them as well. Just my $.02 There's a thread somewhere here on the forum that has a DIY on replacing all of the cooling system components (WP, hoses, plastic connectors, etc.) | | | | |
