Didnt I read somewhere that you can get different temp thermostats ?

I have done a search but cant seem to find what I want

I am guessing A lower temp one is needed ? I have an E36 323 rad from a A/C equipped vehicle. My engine is a M52b28 and will be used for track only and will always be run to full temp before use.

I pulled the old part out and it says 92 deg c on it.

you get an 88 degree one. if no one comes up with a part number off their head i'll check my receipt for the number.

thank you so much !

I want to replace that, the water pump (metal type), the plugs with iridiums, I have a K&N oil filter, good oil and some forte flush. I also have a genuine BMW drive belt.

Anything else I should consider while I'm at it ?

Yup, 88*C one is the one you want

11 53 7 511 580

Change the waterpump for one with a metal impellor while you are at it

Thank you so much guys

change the tensioner too. if you get one from ECP or the like check the clearance between the tensioner body and the water pump pulley. mine was touching.....and i didn't notice when i fitted it....only later in a complete fluke spy did i notice.

KWP water pump from ECP is the one to use, alloy stat housing is a must
Part number for an 80° stat = 11 53 1 713 040

Hi, I know I have asked this before but I have forgotten what the answer was, sorry!
Is this the same if you have an m50?
I need mine to run a bit cooler on the track.
Ive looked on ECP and got a part code for the water pump of 201110125 is that correct?
What would be the 80 degree stat code? same as above?
Thanks
