Upgrade your stock oil cooler thermostat for improved performance. Swap your factory 110-degree Celsius thermostat for a new 70-degree Celsius version for faster oil flow and extended temperature control. With oil temperatures reaching 230 degrees Fahrenheit by the time your factory thermostat opens, initiating oil flow at lower temperatures proves more effective than attempting to cool down already elevated temperatures.
Utilizing a factory-style thermostat, this upgrade can be used in all weather conditions and allows your engine to warm up properly, unlike thermostat bypass kits.
Kit contents:
Lower temperature thermostat - 70c (158F) vs Factory 110c (230F)
Low temp thermostat spring

Hardware to replace the coarse-thread screws originally used to mount components to the plastic valve cover.
Factory and aftermarket valve covers are made from plastic and use coarse-thread screws designed specifically for plastic. When upgrading to an aluminum valve cover, this hardware can no longer be used, as it will not properly thread into aluminum.
This kit includes all necessary hardware required to mount the factory components onto your upgraded aluminum valve cover.
Included Hardware:
2 × M6 × 1.0 × 40 mm bolts
4 × M6 × 1.0 × 20 mm bolts
2 × M6 × 1.0 × 12 mm bolts

Is your BMW making a chirping or grinding noise at idle? The culprit is frequently a failing alternator decoupler pulley. Unlike a traditional solid pulley, this Overrunning Alternator Pulley (OAP) allows the alternator rotor to "freewheel" when engine speeds drop suddenly. This specialized function protects your BMW drive belt and belt tensioner from excessive snap-back, vibration, and "belt slap."
Prevent Catastrophic Engine Failure
Over time, the internal clutch mechanism can seize or slip, leading to accelerated wear or total serpentine belt failure. On BMW engines, a snapped belt can be ingested through the front main seal, causing catastrophic engine damage. Replacing this pulley is a cost-effective preventative maintenance step that restores smoothness to your accessory drive without the high cost of a complete alternator replacement.
Features & Benefits:
Lowers the load on the drive belt, tensioner, and AC compressor.
Stops "belt slap" and rhythmic chirping noises during deceleration and idle.
Direct Replacement with high-quality construction ensures perfect fitment and long-term durability.
Essential Maintenance for N52 engines
