Yes, those are the correct o rings. I got lucky when I did my thermostat, my old e39 M5 used the same exact ones and I had a some left over.

Can you provide me with these part #'s? Did you notice any performance gains after replacing both of these parts, or did the car feel the same? I currently have the 2B59 error code.

For your reference, the OEM Thermostat is part 11537836155. The OEM sensor is part 13621433076 Search ECS for either of those and they will show you the non-BMW alternatives that are much cheaper. I went with OEM for the thermostat because I bought the kit that ECS sells that came with the o-rings and jug of coolant. The kit is part 11537836155KT. The kit is only $103. They have a non-OEM kit for $53 if you are looking to save some money. I will not know if the thermostat alone fixes my issue since it was very intermittent. Time will tell. |

I only had the thermostat error but I replaced both. The sensor was very corroded, for what it is worth. I used OEM only because I had not seen the other parts listed, and wanted them local pick-up anyway. The non-OEM is the same exact part without the BMW label, so I would have used it if I had had access to them.

Have you ever removed the plenum? I had mine off in 15 mins and had never done it before. Once you get that off, the thermostat is right there and has just 3 10mm bolts to remove to get it out. There's a really good DIY video on YouTube, I think it's posted in the early pages of this thread. |

about a gallon or so from the expansion tank and then a bit more when you remove the radiator hoses from the t-stat housing. you know you're done pumping out the fluid from the expansion tank when you are just sucking air. the bleed screw is on top of the expansion tank.

He's just saying you do not have to take the air box cover off unless you are changing your filter at the same time. You can remove the whole air box by removing the two 10mm bolts at the right side. No need to remove all of those torx on the top cover first.
