See the Vernet in my post on Page 1 - fits and working just fine in my M88KDAWG97M3 wrote: Jan 22, 2024 1:21 PM Hey. So what part do I get? I have 4 thermostats and none fit. Any good options?
My pleasure - I've gotten so much benefit from this community. Happy to do anything that helps!
Do you mean the one from Bimmerworld had the teepee/tent look like the OE or just measured/fit like the OEM S38? (in other words, are both of the tstats you mention the Calorstat/Vernet part?)kcld wrote: Apr 27, 2024 8:54 AM FWIW I went through 3 'other brand' thermostats that didn't fit until I tried the Calorstat OEM 80C Thermostat - S38 Engine - E28 M5 & E24 M6 from Bimmerworld which appers to be an exact duplicate of my OEM S38 stat. I also ordered one from Rockauto listed as Motorad but received the identical Calorstat / Vernet part.
Can you post their part number? The one I found from Calorstat looks very different (dome vs. teepee), but works fine. I'd love to see one that mirrors OEM...kcld wrote: Nov 02, 2024 10:45 AM They were identical in appearance (including the te-pee) and dimensions as far as I could tell.
