Thermostat's brand?

sankohuy · 11-20-2015, 09:45 AM

Hey guys, I'm replacing my waterpump and decided to swap out the old thermostat as well. I saw there are many different brands listed for it on Amazon. Does anyone know if which brands are better quality wise? Or they're all the same? Or should I just get the OEM ones?

I suppose it depends on the brands looked at, some are probably fine, but for this sort of thing I would rather opt for the genuine part. They are all rated to open at 97 degrees Celcius as per the OE part BTW...

Wahler, Behr are the OEM brands for thermostat from what I learnt.

Thanks for the replies guys. I decided to order everything from getbmwparts for piece of mind. I'm thinking this is too important to skimped on.

going on three years no issues. was exactly the same brand as my original. I had issues with the thermostat so I just replaced both. I went oem from tischer on that end.

Behr is the one I changed over to 11 months ago. No issues. As far as a water pump. I think I bought BMW.
