Original BMW S38 Engine Cooling Hose for 1988 BMW M5 (E28) and M6 (E24) (1987–1988)

Built for the S38 engine, this Original BMW coolant hose moves coolant through the cooling system of the 1988 BMW M5 and the 1987–1988 BMW M6. BMW lists it under the plain name hose, weighs it at 58 grams, and has produced it since April 1984. The same hose also serves the E23 745i with the S38 engine. Rubber coolant hoses age with heat cycles, and they become dry, hard, brittle, swollen, or leaky over time. Cracking, leaking, swelling, and general deterioration are the signs to look for.
