Original BMW Coolant Hose for BMW E28 M5 (1988) and E24 M6 (1987–1988)

Part of the S38 engine's cooling system, Original BMW hose 11-53-1-306-832 carries coolant between cooling system components on the 1988 BMW E28 M5 and the 1987–1988 E24 M6. A coolant hose moves the engine's coolant to and from parts such as the radiator, thermostat, and connecting pipes, and it has to stay flexible and leak-free to do that job. BMW calls this part simply a hose and sells it as a single piece. It weighs 248 g (0.5 lb), and BMW's parts data shows it in production from April 1983.

Original BMW Parts are covered by a 24-month parts warranty.

Both cars use this same hose because both run the S38 engine, the M5 in E28 form and the M6 in E24 form. If you own one of these cars, one part number covers it. As coolant hoses age, they dry out, harden, and turn brittle, and eventually they start to leak.
