Title: Need thermostat, where/what to purchase?
Post by: Got Mayhem? on February 09, 2012, 08:00:44 PM

I'm in need of a new thermostat for my stock M42 and I'm having trouble finding a OEM replacement for a decent price. I'd rather not go to my local BMW dealership and pay more than anyone should have to.

Anyone able to help me out with a site that deals OEM or correct OE parts?

Thanks ahead of time!

I bought the $12 Vernet 92degC unit on this page (http://www.pelicanparts.com/bmw/catalog/shopcart/BE30/POR_BE30_WATmis_pg1.htm) from Pelican Parts.  Good prices, free shipping for orders over $75.  Shipping times are average, what with UPS and all.

Keep an eye out for their discounts, maybe someone will post one.

Awesome, thanks for that. I wasn't sure on what temp to go with so that clears that up.
