Fixing My E39 M5 Track Car's Cooling Issues: Thermostat & Sensor Swap! #bmw #trackcar

--In this video, I tackle a nagging issue with my E39 M5 track car's coolant temperature, which has been fluctuating since my last round of mods and repairs—running too high or staying too low. I dive into replacing the thermostat, coolant temperature sensor, and radiator outlet temperature sensor. The culprit? A failed thermostat housing seal ring that was sticking to the thermostat, causing it to bleed off constantly and likely stick at times. Check out the step-by-step process and see how I got this beast back to running cool on the track!
All the parts and tools used in this repair are listed in my new build sheet at https://bit.ly/m/DrivingForwardBuilds under the E39 M5 Thermostat section. From the thermostat and sensors to the gasket ring and specialty tools, you’ll find everything you need to replicate this job.
I’m also on the lookout for sponsors to support future builds! Brands like ECS Tuning, Turner Motorsport, or other European/BMW specialists, let’s connect to take this E39 M5 track car to the next level. Diagnostic tool brands like Foxwell or Autel, I’d love to collaborate and showcase your tools in action. Drop me a line if you’re interested!
