I've had mine since 3/2003. It continues to do yeoman duty. It's available in standard 40mm or heavy duty 57mm thickness. I have the 57mm version. Note that due to reduced clearances this one *requires* either a fan delete, a thinner fan such as that from the Euro 325td (P/N 11-52-2-243-303), or an extra thin SPAL electric fan. On the minus side it turned out that I was the acting, unpaid, involuntary E36 beta tester for PWR. This resulted in an email dialog between me, the importer and the factory in Australia. On the plus side, they've long since fixed all the problems I found. The actual product is very nicely made, durable and works well. I saw 10+ deg F reductions in oil temperature on the track after fitting the big PWR.

I also deleted the engine driven fan (not necessary) to free up every bit of horsepower the car makes.
