My bmw is over heating, and i need to remove the thermostat. Does anyone know how, or has ne one ever did this before? I need explicit directions on how to do so.|||If you need exact directions on how to replace the thermostat, then you better have it done by a professional Automotive Technician. And You say your car is overheating Huh? Does the heater get warm with engine temp? If not, then it's not your thermostat. Late Model BMW's have plastic waterpump impellers that break off, Yes the car overheats like a stuck closed thermostat, BUT the one thing you will notice is that the heater doesn't blow hot air, Cooling system is full, Car overheats, heater stays cold. Broken water pump.
Take your car to a BMW mechanic or a ASE certified Auto tech and have your car fixed right.|||http://www.pelicanparts.com/BMW/techarti鈥?/a>|||Your car has a know problem with the water pump impellers breaking off. This is more likely the problem with your Bmw. You must be careful with this car the head gasket blows easily and the head warps. Also the upper radiator neck breaks very easily. This car also requires that the antifreeze be bled. The water pump is easy to replace it has four bolts that must be remove and there is two ears on the side of the pump that you put two bolts through to push pump out of block. The problem you will have is getting the fan clutch off to get to water pump. It requires a special tool. If i were you I would probably let a BMW tech do the job since it is very inexpensive to do the water pump. A reg tech not farmiliar with this car could tear up radiator, blow head gasket, not know how to bleed system. The car is different than most. Do not overheat this engine. You will be out 3,000 dollars. good luck
