now that I quickly researched it. bad reviews of H-T brand
I saw that too... but also read you can put the guts of that H-T brand one into your OEM's housing and create a hybrid that works great in terms of reliability.

That said, I'm going to give the option bmw540san found.

As some here may know. I've sold boatload of 88 C thermostats for M62TU. I'm running 95 C thermostat in 540 and X5 (modified it to fit new style hoses) but ideally I'd like to use 90 C.
They are super over selling it, but @ that price for a modded OEM unit... I'll give it a shot. Will be ordering in the near future.
