M88/S38B35 thermostat housing reproduction

[neilg]

Hey guys, I have gotten an nos tstat unit from Germany for my rebuild and intend to have a number reproduced, lookin at batches of 5 at a time and looking at a price of 500 usd shipped per unit. If a group for example were to go for 3 or more I would be able to do 450 per unit as we could group the shipping. Thanks for your time.

Interested as well depending on quality

Unfortunately I'm profoundly unaffected personally not having a M88/S38 car, but you might consider posting in the M5 / M535i subforum. They're more likely to have a need.

I'm tempted by this. Does anyone know how these fail? I have holes in the part of the housing that connects to certain hoses, I guess the coolant eats away at the aluminum over time, but the rest of the housing is fine. I bead blasted the inside of it about 7 years/20k miles ago, it's currently apart in my garage and looks just as clean. These seem to age very slowly. I can see the holes possibly getting bad enough it doesn't seal anymore, but can't I get those holes welded for much cheaper than $450?

On my M5 I had trouble dissembling the unit because the bolts got corroded into place and one head sheared off. I was able to recover the part but I suspect that is much of the problem just with normal age and lack of disassembly and/or antiseize.

I got my thermostat from Neil yesterday. No issues, it's the real deal. Shipping to CA was a few days. Very easy transaction and seller was super responsive

Hey guys I have two of these left on the shelf right now and it seems as if I have caught up with current needs/demands so I will be holding off on another run until such times as I can put names and deposits against another batch. If you’re in need of one now or will need one soon, get in touch at neilg9963@gmail.com
