those aren't cheap. 58 usd sounds a little excessive, but i might expect to pay that much from a retail store in the us. then again, i'm not bill or winfred, don't have the sources that others may.
hello american people, I am looking to get an adapter for using a pressure tester on the cooling system of my m50. I got a price from Baum tools wihch was $58 USD plus shipping which seems alot. Are there any other good places i can get them off who deal internationally. I am not even going to bother looking around here (in Australia), as I do not really feel the urge to go talk to clowns.

i think i paid that or more for mine those little ****ers are ungodly expensive, most will be from ast tools
all america wants is cold beer warm cat and a place to take a poop with a door on it
The BMW adapter (#12030) for my Stant pressure tester cost nearly as much as the complete standard (#12270) Stant pressure tester kit.Originally Posted by rob101
I got one on eBay a few years ago for about $20.
The Stant BMW radiator adapter is a nice piece of work. Threading the adapter to match the BMW Rad. cap I'm sure makes it one of the more costly adapters to make.
I don't know if it's possible to adapt a regular Rad. cap for the pressure tester. It might be feasible for personable use. But if your a pro working on BMW's definitely go with the Stant products all the way. Or similar pro tools...

Does the adapter just allow you to pressure test the system or also to test the cap? I have the basic Stant kit already. Thanks.Originally Posted by Chris'91'525i
I have a tester i can use i just need the adapter for the reservior not the cap

Yes, you can pressure test the Rad. cap as well as the radiator and the rest of the cooling system with the Stant #12030 BMW adapter.Originally Posted by BMWCCA1

the cap needs it's own tester, another $60-70 chunk of cnc machined aluminum cramed up your ass by the tool guy
