Much appreciated. About to change mine. 740il is overheating and shooting out antifreeze

Nice, now I can do it myself.

Great video, very informative and really helpful. Now I'll know how to do this on my own car! Thanks so much!

If the thermostat needs replaced should I do the housing as well?

Hey what gasket did you use? I used the regular O ring gasket and it was a little bigger and its still leaking i feel these o ring gaskets are not it

[@piotrszumnarski3011]

It is worth to mention that the thermostat is to be positioned the way, that the small bleed off plug on its flange is orientted 12 o'clock. M60 and M62 are quite challenging in bleeding off, so fitting the thermostat with a random orienttion will not make the bleeding job any easier.

10/10

This only applies to the M60 engine. M62 series engines thermostat housing on the water pump is different and this housing cap and thermostat type will not work.

what coolant you use, and was it 50/50?
