It will help if nothing else, also read of other issues occurring due to broken stats.
Yeah, seems to be the man in the know on the forum, had a price on remap, dpf/egr delete £564-360bhp.I’d be happy with that, said better to keep the cat for emissions, should have mentioned I have a...
So presume I’m best replacing both stats whilst I’m at it? Wonder how long it’s been fucked! Might see if my mate can sort it next week, glad I checked it now lol.
Just landed back from a 40 minute drive, 90% motorway rest A roads.
Starting temp - 65
10 minutes later averaging about 50mph - 75
Next 25 minutes or so I’m sat at 70mph, temp goes as follows
78
80
77
78
76
73
So peaked at 80, then slowly tailed off
Sat at 50mph next - 72
Then 30mph...
thats good regarding the hidden menu, harper motorsports is well regarded on bmw5 forum, the guys username is mashed potatoes, not sure if hes on any bmw forums you use? but if remaps are mentioned, hes the guy to see apparently, seems to lnow his stuff, plus there only an hour away, not...
had a nosey on that link, presume once i get the temp display up, its stays on whilst driving, got an hour drive home soon, so will put it in and monitor what it does.
looks like both thermostats will be getting changed.
on another note, rang up harper motorsports today for a price on a...

right, finally checked my engine temp after an hour drive on the motorway @ 70mph.
81 degrees.
what should it be?
also if i get the temperature guage up, then start car and drive it, does it stay on so you can monitor it?

Removed the phone cradle today to make more room in the storage compartment, my mrs is taking the car to work tomorrow for the 1st time, she has only driven it on an a road with me in for about 2 miles, not sure who’s more nervous me or her, She’s avoided using it since the mini sold, as it’s...
Fingers crossed mate?
I’m now thinking I may just leave it, especially now your thinking the same! It’s not like I hammer it about either, so it’s got a pretty easy life ( for now ) I’ll do a bit more digging around I think.
picking 5 of these up tomorrow night for winter tyres, think they'll look pretty s**t tbh, 17's will look proper lost under the arches, but should do the job come the s**t ( er ) weather.

if i didn't and the box s**t itself I'd always be kicking myself, saying that, spoke to a mate with a 530d on 187k, he bought it recently, he planned on servicing the box, but one of his mates has just done his and straight after the box has gone, so he's decided to leave it.

I’m not sure if it’s ever been serviced tbh, is a service about £300? Guess it’s a gamble! it’s been under bmw warranty till dec 2017, so am I right in thinking if I go into a main dealers I’ll be able to get a list of what’s been done to the car over the years? Or Is there any way of getting...
that will be the one, only seen it once from memory, looked very nice though!
yeah from what I've read they seem to reliable motors ( fingers crossed ) and quite happily do huge milage, nice to here yours is going strong! mines only on 92k so nothing really for these, got to expect general...
