2007 vs 2009 radiator thermostat
Guys, I just dropped my car off at the dealership, for the HPFP, and I got a 335XI coupe loaner. It, like my '07 sedan, does not have an oil cooler, but It has the updated temp guage with 250 degrees in the middle. My car runs hot, and with the same climate, and same long highway commute to work, I always get up to 245 degrees daily. This loaner however, is much much slower to warm up, and it seems to stay at 210 degrees. Since the car does not have an oil cooler, I'm assuming that BMW has a lower temp radiator thermostat on these, and also a different fan switch, to maintain that lower temp. I was wondering if this is true, and if we can acheiver the same results by installing the '09 OEM thermostat/fan switch?
