{"product_id":"bmw-water-hose-connector","title":"Original BMW Coolant Distribution Tee for BMW E28 M5 and E24 M6 (1987–1988)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuilt for the S38 six-cylinder, this Original BMW distribution piece is a small coolant tee in the engine cooling system of the 1988 BMW M5 and the 1987–1988 M6. A distribution tee splits one coolant passage into branches, so a single line can feed or return coolant to more than one hose. On these cars it is part of the system of thermostat, coolant hoses, and connection pipes that holds the S38 at its working temperature. BMW has produced it since April 1984, and the part weighs only 7 g.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBMW applies this tee only to S38-engined cars. BMW's parts data shows it on the E28 M5, the E24 M6 and its European twin the M635CSi, and the E23 745i with the S38 engine. In the U.S., that means the M5 and M6. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: BMW, sold as an Original BMW part\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: 11-53-1-307-324\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW part name: distribution piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunction: radiator coolant distribution tee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine: S38 six-cylinder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 7 g (0.25 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction start: April 1984\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 24-month Original BMW parts warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this tee fit a regular 535i or 635CSi?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. BMW applies it only to S38-engined cars, which in the U.S. means the E28 M5 and E24 M6.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is it sold?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne distribution tee per order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePMB Performance supplies Original BMW cooling parts for the S38 M cars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse the fitment table below to confirm the exact year, make, model, submodel, and any application notes before ordering.
