Replace the Achilles heel of your factory cooling system with a stout and reliable mechanical thermostat setup.

The factory E46 thermostat housing is a combined unit featuring a plastic housing and a built in thermostat that you cannot replace separately. These plastic all-in-one units are commonly know to crack or fail causing a headache, a trip on the tow truck and possible damage to your engine.

Taking cues from the reliable M50 thermostat setup we designed a an assembly that not only converts your plastic housing into a billet aluminum unit but also swaps out the integrated thermostat for a separate replaceable thermostat. The ability to swap out thermostats separately from the whole housing opens up doors to changing thermostats to different temperature ratings based on your application while also providing lower maintenance costs. No longer do you have to replace the whole housing but just the thermostat itself.

The billet housing is designed to be utilized with E46 M3 upper and lower radiator hoses and also features -16 ORB connections for custom radiator hoses. A major upgrade from the factory and aftermarket plastic units. Our thermostat housing kit can be used by the savvy daily driver or the track hero who wants to ensure the durability of their cooling system.

Key benefits:

Uses M50/S50 mechanical thermostat for increased reliability
Option to use aftermarket colder thermostats if desired
Thermostat can be replaced separately for lower maintenance cost
Barbed hose connections for use with E46 M3 hoses or built in -16 ORB connections for custom radiator hoses
Design:

Machined out of a single piece of billet 6061 aluminum, this thermostat housing will withstand higher prolonged temperatures and abuse for performance applications

Unlike factory rubber hoses, silicone can withstand higher temperatures and pressures with minmal wear. Rubber will wear out and weaken so don't let it bite you when it counts! Silicone has been proven during extreme racing conditions and won't be the weak link that ruins your day.

This kit is specifically designed for the enthusiast that wants uprated cooling hoses, but also wants to address the heat-cycled plastic connectors and o-rings that are also prone to failure in higher mileage or older vehicles.

This E46 M3 ECS silicone hose set replaces two hoses - 
11537830716, upper radiator hose 
11537830715, lower radiator hose 

Replace your cracked or leaking radiator hose to prevent further leaks and potentially catastrophic failure. This hose replaces the lower radiator hose that connects the radiator to the thermostat housing.

This Lower Radiator Hose fits the following BMWs:
2001-2006 E46 3 Series M3, M3 Convertible

The stock plastic water pipe is prone to cracking after a long life of heating and cooling cycles. This could lead to coolant loss and an overheating engine. To prevent this, the URO Premium water pipe is constructed from aluminum that can withstand as many heating and cooling cycles that could ever be thrown at it and won't crack or become brittle over time.

Fits the following BMWs:
2000-2005 E46 BMW M54 xi models
2000-2006 E53 BMW X5 M54 xi/xDrive models
2004-2006 E83 BMW X3 M54 xi/xDrive models

Over time, prolonged exposure to high-temperature coolant can take a toll on your vehicle's hoses. Made from reinforced rubber, these hoses are prone to wear and failure in various ways, including splitting at hose clamps, swelling, cracking, or breaking. Any of these issues can lead to coolant loss and potentially leave you stranded. Replacing your hoses at the first sign of wear is essential to maintaining a properly functioning cooling system.

This replacement hose is designed with the correct diameter, bends, and length for a precise fit, making it an ideal solution for swelled or damaged hoses. With straightforward installation, this hose provides peace of mind, whether you're embarking on a long road trip or simply commuting to work.

When replacing your radiator hose, some coolant loss is unavoidable. Browse our website to find the exact replacement coolant and other parts for your vehicle, delivered straight to your door. Don’t forget to order a new thermostat housing as well—factory plastic units often crack or warp during removal, and replacing them ensures a complete and reliable repair.
