WTS: ECS N63 90c thermostat kit
Somehow I accidentally ordered two of these, and ecs won't take it back. This is a full 90c thermostat retrofit kit, including temp sensor, bolts and coolant. Super easy swap. Good way to save your valvestem seals! Pm me if interested! Price is 100USD plus shipping (you save $20 over ECS).

A lower temp thermostat will also bring down oil temps though. I'm a tech at BMW, by the way. |

But in the subject of saving valve stem seals, the valve will suffice right?
Not really worried about coolant temps, my lines/clamps are toast already. So there is no saving them, im sure it's the same case with my stem seals. But I think I can prolong the life if I can get the oil temps down. Ive had oil temps of 250 lately due to this heat wave. |

If you aren't yet burning oil or seeing blue tufts on startup, your valve stem seals are still doing their job. The only downside to a lower temp thermostat is fuel economy. Engines themselves love to be hot (seals and gaskets on he other hand degrade faster with more heat), the hotter they are, the more efficient they run. But I haven't noticed much difference in mine sofar, from 12.7l/100km to 12.9. |
