Lots of ways to get the temp lower, doesn't matter which one you use, this was the cheapest I could find... ![]() __________________________________________________ 2014 L405 Autobiography SDV8 4.4 Loire Blue Ebony interior -Click here for Thread- 2012 L322 Autobiography 5.0 Supercharged Ipanema Sand Sold 2011 L322 Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8 Baltic Blue.

+44C/111F today and, during an extended run on the motorway, the coolant temp (as per the ScanGauge II) didn't rise above 105 deg C.

Fook me, you didn't need to go that far just to change the thermostat ! |

I am interested too to see what the running temp is with an 88 stat as mine runs at around 93 degrees with the 80.

That's makes sense, I think the natural running temp is around 90-95 degreees |

You know how that goes. One thing leads to another and you starts saying " while I'm this far I might as well..." |

Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere, but isn't there a direct replacement lower temp thermostat available from BMW? One where there is no need to modify the housing? Accepting it may well be more expensive. Drives:
