Abstract: We consider a class of BGK systems with a finite number of velocities, depending on a positive relaxation parameter, that approximate strongly degenerate hyperbolic--parabolic equations with initial boundary condition. We prove a priori estimates for the solutions of the systems, showing that these functions converge towards the entropy solutions of strongly degenerate problems when the parameter let to zero
