If you have an M62TU engine then do your E38 a favor an replace the thermostat with a 88° C one from a 740D. The M62TU has an electronically controlled thermostat which drives the temperature (and with it the pressure inside the cooling system) to well above 100°C just to have tiny bit cleaner exhaust gases. Stupid? Yes, of course... The 109°C you have seen on your display is actually normal and that is the reason why there are so many blown up coolers, houses and expansion tanks. The 88°C thermostat from a 740 fits mechanically just fine and lowers the temperature a lot and therefore it's a blessing for the engine and the cooling system. To shut up the engine management complaining, you need a resistor which attaches to the original thermostat's connector. Here in Europe, you can have both (OEM Thermostat & Resistor) as a kit for 100 Euros. The BMW Part Number of the Thermostat is 11512248542.
I’m so so happy I found your channel. I’m a 49 yr old Woman . I have my 28 yr old daughter trying you help me with my car as I’m in congestive heart failure and can’t do a lot of what my car needs by myself.I have a couple videos of water pouring from the bottom of my motor I thought was coming from the oil Pan. Now that I see this I’m wondering if it’s what your replacing here. The water pump is working I replaced it several months back. The car sit untouched for about 5 yrs so a lot of things are dry rotted, trying to rust. Also someone shoved my dash off port up inside the dash and now doesn’t work. Any idea what would be pouring from bottom of engine and I’d like to share my video with you but I can’t seem to find out how to do that on here
Well i have an 01 740il, the only bulb i was able to remove was the low beam but i don’t know how to pry the high beam cap open i cant find any videos online or sites on google
Man I remember doing this job to mine. I have a question for you, what are your tire sizes!? I have Front 235/50/18 Rear 255/45/18 I want to go taller in the rear but not sure if I’ll throw off the wheel speed sensor. Wondering if you have to same sizes or did you change your size tire. 👍🏽👍🏽

Your a great teacher,,,,many thanks
Professional video……thank you…my e 38 750il has has several cooling related issues over my ownership….I plan to tackle this project ahead .
Good video! - Thanks again
Found this channel when I was going to buy an e38... Ive decided to go in another direction (for now) but Im still watching your videos! good work!
Love your channel. Thank you for documenting
Thanks for the support!
Great instructional video - thanks!
I don’t suppose you’d like to come to Australia and help me replace the head gaskets on my e38

You can always hit me up on instagram at District 7. Look for the link under the about section of my channel
@@ARPerez I’ll most definitely will be hitting you up. I really appreciate the help
Would you happen to know how to remove both low and high beam bulbs from the headlight assembly without removing the whole headlight assembly?
I don't know about the high beam but you should be able to remove the low beam like any other car. We are talking on the 740i correct?

I see you replaced your gauge cluster, where did you get yours? My pixels are dead, and I love the oil temp gauge over the useless MPG gauge
I had everything done thru Fixels, you have to search for them on Facebook, Oil temp and warm up lights on the rpm gauge are 🤌🏾
@@ARPerez mahalo! I found your replacement video and reached out to them on FB and email, no reply yet. Hopefully they’re still in business.
He should still be in business, sometimes he takes a little while to respond. He runs everything(one man op) so he gets busy
Man I remember doing this job to mine.
I have a question for you, what are your tire sizes!?
I have
Front 235/50/18
Rear 255/45/18
I want to go taller in the rear but not sure if I’ll throw off the wheel speed sensor. Wondering if you have to same sizes or did you change your size tire. 👍🏽👍🏽
I have a video on that, where I explain tire and spacer sizes, look it up under my channel!
