[QUOTE="GasWombat, post: 209207, member: 235"] Behr again Thanks for the alert, meetoo. I have checked with 5 shops namely M1, Heritage, Optimum, M Speed and my regular mech. In most cases, while they say the E36 uses the 88 degree thermostat, they have been replacing it with the 71, and they say it's marvy for the radiator and fine for the engine. over the years, they claim they have not receive complaint with a lowered engine temp as a result of using the 71. I understand the logic behind your statement abt the risk of engine running cooler....perhaps a more free-flowing engine oil/less viscous would also negate the danger of using a 71 thermo. [/QUOTE]
