Hey zone

Looking at getting a new thermostat delivered from Eurocarparts and looks like they've got two options. One looks to have no rubber gasket but a small little extra hole in it, the other gas a gasket but no extra hole. Any thoughts?

Just got the thermostat and stamped onto it it says 82c. Is that okay operating temp for 325i? On website it said 80 πŸ™„

You should be able to find an 80C one somewhere!

Loads on Autodoc for less than a tenner -

I can’t really be bothered to wait for it again, just wondering if the 82 is fine?

82 degrees is fine for a 325i.
