Thank you!
Are you saying the BMW part is flawed and I should avoid it?
I do see the Vemo one on FCP Euro but not from the BMW dealer (at least not the one I'm ordering parts from).
I'd be concerned with Ebay O-rings given you can't be sure of the rubber/composite composition or quality, and dimensions might look close enough but not be quite right.

The thermostat housing has an integrated sensor. It's easy to replace. I didn't find an aluminum housing when searching for an M54. I copied and pasted from an excel spreadsheet. I'll correct the oil thermostat number.
For O-rings, I bought a kit off eBay. I carry O-rings in a bag. Most O-rings can be replaced in a parking lot if needed. Most hoses fail because the metal hose ring fails to seal over time.
