I can see this mechanic has worked professionally on these engines. He knows the steps to prepare for quick disassembly without delays. For those overheating consider also the radiator as the problem.
A lot of M62 drivers switch to the 88°C 740d thermostate in combination with a dummy connector for the cable. The whole system runs cooler, less pressurized and the mapping for the engine is in „power mode“ immediately. Because the system runs with less pressure, the radiator is less prone for breaking, what happens quite often to high mileage M62s...
Really appreciate the awesome how to video! Yeah you were right in saving money. Local independent mechanic wanted $250.00 in labor alone to do this fix for me and said it would take a couple of hours. I can't imagine how much he would have charged me for the part since this particular mechanic said he makes his money through buying and installing parts only through him. I paid $50.00 for the Behr thermostat through rock auto and I'm going to assume the mechanic would have charged me twice that amount. This video easily saved me $350.00 in doing it myself.
Excellent tutorial I was able to do it soup to nuts in about an hour and twenty minutes. That is also with a hip I had just had replaced in the past four weeks. It was the most strenuous thing I have done in the past month. Thank you very much. Oh one thing when replacing the thermostat make sure you tell people to take the O rings off the old thermostat and put it on the new one. Other wise fluid will leak out. Other than that perfect!
Thank you! When starting my Temp gauge pegs all the way to the right and stays there! After seeing this video and using my OBD2 scanner! I had Code P1550 and P0116 which translates to Temp Senor 1 on my 1998 540ia. Which is the Thermostat Temp sensor. I ordered the whole assembly, in my case it is BMW part 11531437526 for 1998 E39 M62 engine. Thanks again great video. Ron

Question: do you like to use a cooler thermostat? I see those 88C tstats and wonder do you think the car running cooler really helps the guides, oil separator, etc? Or just stick with stock 105c tstat?
@@BMWorks_NL I see thank you for the fast reply. I need to stop looking at the forums that go over board on the fact the M62 runs too hot and will attack the integrity of the engine components. I stick with the stock set up ...I love your videos,, Merry Christmas!
hi , nice video , so can you tell me what that electronic plug doing ? does it have anything to do with electric fan ? i am asking because my electric cooling fan is not working and i se the plug from thermostat is melted
My 2000 BMW 740il randomly puts out a little heat for a brief duration, but otherwise there is no heat. I am trying to figure out the problem before the weather gets too cold. The blower is working and, like I said heat can be detected. Any ideas? I also noticed in the past-the winter before last-that it would put out cold air when the car is at a stop but heat back up while in motion. I'd appreciate some input, thank you!
Very informative! A+ My 95 only heats up when not moving. Once heat button is pushed on the engine temp goes down to 1/4 and car runs like crap and wont shift correctly. Wonder if replacement of the sensor will correct this?
Hello, Great video. I have a question. My e38 is over heating. I noticed the fan clutch is bad. If there are no codes showing for the thermostat should i change it also? Thanks
excellent video, thanks. Do you have suggestions for replacing the hose on the left side of the thermostat. its really stuborn? have to reuse the o ring and plastic ferule as these did not come with the part. they are in good nic.
@homerraas, Sir, can you please post a video o demonstrating with the same clarity you used in this video how to replace the transmission oil regulator thermostat? I would be very appreciative if you did.
I have a 2001 740IL sport. My temperature gage is going up and back to the middle. Does that mean my thermostat is not opening up? It hasn’t ran hot. I need some insight
Great video... I've replaced my thermostat... and I still have serious overheating issues. Either my thermostat is bad (coincidence), or the thermo cable needs replacing. My guess is it's the cable. Do you know where I can get one?
I can see this mechanic has worked professionally on these engines. He knows the steps to prepare for quick disassembly without delays. For those overheating consider also the radiator as the problem.
Finally a well done video on thermostat replacement, clear, concise, easy to follow. Homerraas you are the man!

I agree with everyone . This is the best videos so far. Short and to the point! Thank you.
Thank you!

Thank you for a tutorial , Great JOB ! I am looking to do Thermostat , Water Pump and Valley Pan all at once
Thank you friend for the video, im gonna change my thermostat in my e39 m62b35 . Becouse of u video it looks so easy ! Thanks !
Thanks for the video; this takes the guessing out of the equations.
Good video I changed the water pump but still had overheating problems. So now I have new water pump. Wish me well.
The video is clear, concise, and informative. Thanks for sharing...
Very nice video. Thanks for taking the time to upload this!
Thanks for a wonderful and easy to follow video.

vosedon water temp doesn’t effect the oil temp that always stays the same ;)

That's an awesome video. Really appreciated. Thanks
I'm going to do this right now thanks alot
hi , nice video , so can you tell me what that electronic plug doing ? does it have anything to do with electric fan ? i am asking because my electric cooling fan is not working and i se the plug from thermostat is melted
The O ring comes WITH the new Tstat it is one complete unit

Thank you...clear and easy to follow. What is the torque value for the thermostat housing bolts?
Thank you so much for this video.
Very well done.My 1997 740il is over heating i hope it's not a head gasket.
Thanks!

Great Video!!💪
Awesome video. Thanks for uploading!
I have deposits like that on the right side of my water pump, is it the thermostat or the pump itself?
Well done.Very nice video.Keep on doin!Thx a lot
Great video. BTW you sound like James Woods.

Hey great vidéo I was Wondering if you now where the temperature coolante sensor is I have a 1998 e39 and I have a hard time fin ding the location
Excellent video. Would you happen to know if the thermostat itself is separable from the housing?
@homerraas,
Sir, can you please post a video o
demonstrating with the same clarity you used in this video how to replace the transmission oil regulator thermostat?
I would be very appreciative if you did.
Awesome vid, Raas.

Raheem Foster sure, quite simple you have air in the system, bleed and burp the system
You should install 80c thermostat for you car to keep your engine cool
Great video... I've replaced my thermostat... and I still have serious overheating issues. Either my thermostat is bad (coincidence), or the thermo cable needs replacing. My guess is it's the cable. Do you know where I can get one?
Tom Wolf The thermo cable only works to open the thermostat earlier at load conditions. I would suspect the radiator.
Should be easy to pop off!?
