Mahle LX2925, Wix 46814 and Hatings/Baldwin AF1198 are all rated as P71/Marauder filters with higher flow rates, at \\~460cfm as opposed to the standard LX or GS filters rated at 320cfm. The P71/Marauder filters will flow more airflow than the 4.6 can actually breathe in, and filter better than any aftermarket oiled filter.
I’ve installed Borg Wagner thermostats and those always failed until I installed a Mahle one which never failed. For some reason any other brand will get stuck open and the engine will never get up to temp.
I used Mahle, but I got lucky I got the German-made one (afaik now most are made in Italy). It was NOS so I expect the electrical heater (to open early) to be defect. It's been 3 years without issue though.
I used oem bmw coolant and a mahle thermostat.
Nissens best option I also have good OE Mahle in my 530 but Nissens in my e38 built better
Mahle is an OE supplier for bmw, go for it
Mahle is the OE replacement for the thermostat, the Chrysler logo is on the part but sanded down. Autozone sells them with PT# TI23695 I just replaced mine last weekend.
I had a brand new mahle one with the connector wired in reverse for constant. Kept blowing a fuse. Returned it for a replacement and worked fine.
Don't touch any tank that's not BMW original - nobody aftermarket can be trusted any more after Mahle went to China.
Hatte letztes Jahr einen neuen Ausgleichsbehälter für meinen E36 gekauft, der einfach nicht gepasst hat. War nicht dicht zu bekommen, egal was man getan hat. Es hat jedesmal bei der Montage den O-Ring verschoben, weil der Behälter einfach nicht ordentlich gefertigt war.
