After having left my car at home for about a week, finally have the time and to courage to drive it out to the mechanic today. Found one "so called" BMW specialist. That guy felt my radiator hoses and told me pressure in upper hose far exceed the lower hose(felt lower hose not hot as it should be). Told me probably my car cooling flow impaired either radiator or thermostat. He reassured me that BMW E39 very very rarely faces gasket burn out or cracked cylinder unless abused under extreme temperature. He then used a cheap looking device, as big as a garmin gps that is wireless with another device connected to my OBD and instantly told me that my thermostat is faulty. However he said he would still do a ? pressure test on the cylinders and will flush my radiator to see the flow. Crossing my fingers hopefully my cylinder and gasket ok. Hate doing major repair on my cars. Don't feel ori anymore. Love this car alot but honestly gives me more headache than my wife. Lol</p></blockquote><p></p>
