    2007 530xi Aluminum Thermostat

    Hello All,

    I've ordered parts for a coolant system refresh and notice the current thermostat is aluminum opposed to plastic one ordered.

    Anyone have any insight on the matter?

    Thanks,

    Interestingly, the one in my car was aluminum, but the one I replaced it with was plastic -- I believe it was Wahler.

    Either way, use top quality stuff here. Water pump and thermostat are NOT jobs you want to do twice. Make sure you have some bendy nut drivers for the hose clamps, and a tiny bit of grease on the hose fittings will make your life a lot easier

    What type of grease should be lightly applied to the "O" rings?
