Were you doing maintenance as well? Like belts and stuff? I just did an e60 m5 thermostat today and you really don't need to take any of that shit off, just the hvac shrouds, pop up the plenum like the video, and suck the coolant out with a vacuum system, no mess, no lifting. The air boxes do not need to come out to do the thermostat, nor the belts, nor the fan.
How could you lift the manifold up with out loosening the 10 clips on the throttle bodies. I'm working on it but i get to only two clips not all 5/ any tips please
Do you have a big consumpt and remove thermostat ? I have a problem with my m5 e60,consumpt 35L/100km,on inpa I see code error thermostat...I remove tomorow...
There are more video's where the intake manifold has been removed, but every time these guys put it back together I see that the manifold is not completely inserted and this might give you fault messages in regards to the vacuum. You have to fully insert the intake manifold correctly. I struggled with one of them and found why it is hard sometimes. Look at the imprint of the rubber seals at each intake port. sometimes the seal doesn't line up and no way you will get it fully inserted then. Hope this will help you guys too :-)
Bas Everts I removed both manifolds when I replaced my throttle actuators and it takes a bit of ability and a lot of common sense and patience to get them back on properly. Nothing to be intimidated about...just do it.
Man you have to take it apart. You will see it as you do it yourself. The fan has to be removed otherwise you can't take the tension of your belts. Clearly Ilya never worked on an M5 before
i have worked on many of these i have an m5 and an m6 im actually changing the water pump and thermostat today. your doing the repair wrong pal. you need to remove the plenums, air filter and cabin filters. Strut bars. Then the thermostat comes out. For water pump, i drain coolant. Pull fan release tension undo water pump. Install new water pump with new pulley and new belts. Reassemble all of it and your done.
If you are changing just the thermostat, you DO NOT have to touch anything on the front of the engine. I just changed mine last night.

Anyone know were the Coolant Temperature sensor is located on the engine???? I’m getting P0116 “engine check code”.

he has all of the loosend
You can excess all 10 of them, just try some different angles.
now my question is . . . . why the hell is the fan off, there is like no reason to remove it :?

Marko Official switch to the Motorad 880090 thermostat and switch your oil to 5w50.

If you own a M5, you MUST have a 2nd transportation.
Levi Walker lol I had a m5 as my only transportation for 3 years sold it at 130k miles bought it at 70k. No issues but oil cooler
