You have part numbers for the cooler thermostat?
Yes, replacing standard gutted downpipes to aftermarket ones made the sound better and louder. I did not expect this.

Cold thermostats do not have part numbers. We buy them from the guy from the club, he buys new original thermostats, disassemble them and changes the opening temperature. He sells them at $ 220 per pair (water + oil).
If interested, I think he will send them to the USA without any problems.

these are the part numbers of standard thermostats at 105C (225) degrees. What's the point of buying them?

As I wrote, this thermostat can be opened at 76 degrees. But only when the computer is applying voltage to the thermostat heating. And this happens when the gas pedal is pressed more then 90%.
The rest of the time is a thermostat at 105 degrees.

Hi Rikkem

Amazing experience you had from past to now. I just got mine 13 X6M, was thinking about doing the same update as you did.

May i ask what is this last 12 revision injector? and what is the product code i should i buy?

Thank you!

The injectors are revision 12, the latest revision. The revision 11 injectors had issues and BMW set a warranty extension to have them replaced if they were causing issues.
