Hey everyone, I just finished making a few of these today and wanted to gauge interest. These are replacements for part number 13541711042 and are CNC machined from billet 6061 aluminum. I personally decided to make this as a replacement for my incredibly pitted and corroded oem, genuine BMW part. Being newly billet machined, these parts are manufactured to a far greater degree of accuracy and will likely far outlast even the genuine BMW cast parts. Lets not even get into the crappy cast aftermarket parts that often leak from the start. I've been running one of these on my car for several weeks with zero issues.
What I'm looking for now is someone to test one of these out. I will send you a brand new one for free if you agree to install it within one week of receiving and then get back on here and let me and everyone else know the good and bad. That way I can fix and improve the design if need be. I also plan on running a lengthy pressure test on one in the near future to ensure that the gasket and hoses will hold consistent pressure.
If anyone would like to buy one, I'm starting them at $25/ea not including shipping. In the future, if the demand is there, I will be getting batches anodized in both blue and black as well. I also plan on offering a block-off plate for those of you who want to delete this section of the cooling system.
As another side note, when I swapped this part out on my car, the mounting face for it on the throttle body was equally pitted and corroded. I decided the only reliable fix would be to machine the face down to get rid of the pitting. If you are interested and are willing to ship your TB to me, I can do the same procedure for you. It's fairly quick and inexpensive given all of the equipment I have available.
