That’s definitely what you should name your brand if you want potential customers to trust in your product. On a related note, woke up this morning to find I had no heat. A quick scan says my electronic thermostat failed.

It’s a neat design. It’s a conventional thermostat, but with a heating coil in it. The ECU can heat it up and force it open to override the mechanical operation in extreme situations.

Unfortunately you can only buy it as a unit with the housing. Genuine BMW is $100+, OEM and aftermarket are substantially cheaper.

“OKAY MOTOR” LOL

That reminds me- it’s funny how so many companies use “pro” in their band naming. Especially since it seems like every time the company is named “_____ Pro” or “Pro _____”, it’s cheap junk, but if it’s a “pro series” sub-brand, they’re actually decent.

I use to work on these types of thermostats. I’m guessing it’s made by Behr Thermotronic or Wahler? They are somewhere between Okay and Meh.

Those are the two brands that come up when I search the part #, I guess those are the OEM.

I was making a bet on the shape of the thermostat pill. They probably make the service parts for BMW as well as the original
