E39 BMW 540i 88C Thermostat Install DIY (Cooling Overhaul Part 2 of 5)

Support the companies that support me! Part 1, I replaced the Expansion Tank Part 3, I upgraded to an Electric Cooling Fan Part 4, I replace the Radiator Part 5, I install a custom aux fan The E39 has a very complicated electronic thermostat that runs at a very high temperature, and this cause parts to fatigue and fail earlier than they should. BMW realized this and didn't use the same thermostat on the successor to the M62B44TU, the N62B44. This thermostat from ECS Tuning is essentially the one from the 4.8 X5. This thermostat is a direct fit requiring zero modification to anything. It's as easy as it can get; just disconnect the old one and install this one. It has been working great with zero issues. The car now lives at about 190F-195F depending on speed and traffic. I also didn't get any check engine lights. I highly recommend this. Subscribe! Comment! Connect!
