Is this a good deal?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/PLM-Heat-Exc...c305bd&vxp=mtr

PLM Performance Heat Exchanger
Johnson Cooling Pump (CM30 model)
Redline Water Wetter

$495 shipped

I have done the research and decided to upgrade mine on my 04 e55. Just wanted some opinions from those of your out there that have already done this.

Thanks,
Steven

Ya not a bad deal.. I know the PLM isnt as big as the EC heat exchanger, but im sure its still an improvement over stock

There you go again , mouthing off for absolutely no reason .. certainly not trying to help anyone .. just mouthing off ... numerous posts by others about the CM30 not being as good as the other options available right now .. yet you feel the need to inform us that yours is working fine ... LA DI DA .. good for you ! so when yours break .. do us all a favor and buy another CM30 .. because your last one worked fine when it worked !!! In the meantime keep gracing us with your jewels and wisdom !

I don't know, my cm30 has been very good too. I had it for two years and still running strong.

It used to be the ONLY one as an upgrade for the OEM pump ... there is reason why tuners dont use it anymore .. not because it is bad pump .. its just that there are others that are better .. the Mezier , the CM90 , the Bosch 010 , the BMW one .. etc.. again I am sure the CM30 brand new is still better than the older stock one , as long as it is working for some people dont change it .. but when it breaks .. I would want to get the best out there if there is something better

Thanks for all the input guys, especially maxwerks. I decided to go with the Fabtech Performance kit. They offer the heat exchanger and pump at the same price for much better quality. The owner Steve is a great guy to deal with. They are in the process with trying to become vendors on here. Check them out

In what way was this 'mouthing off'? He simply stated that his CM30 pump is working, and isn't junk...

If anything your post qualified for the 'mouthing off'

+1 Didnt think his post was in jest at all. I have used the new BOSCH that MB supplies and it works great although the CM30 from what I know works just as well.

What the **** are you talking about "mouthing off"??? I thought a forum was set up for members to voice their opinions and hear others thoughts.. Im not sure how I upset you or what I did, but relax guy..

Sure there are other options than the cm30 and I never said that was the best pump.. All I said is ive never had a problem with it.. Have you read any of the threads stating how a pump with too much flow can actually not be as effective as a pump with less flow?? Im guessing not..
