Replacing the coolant pump, oil filter housing gasket and other maintenance on N54 (part 2)
The second part of my battle with N54 issues. Decided to take care of:
1. Coolant/water pump (thermostat also) 2. New coolant reservoir 3. Oil filter housing oil leaks 4. Vanos solenoids 5. Carbon build-up (not shown in the video, the car was taken to local BMW indy for this)

90° thermostat made by http://hamburgtechnic.com/ and sold by https://www.ecstuning.com/b-hamburg-tech-parts/performance-thermostat-90c/11537586885-90c~/
It definitely keeps the engine a little bit cooler, but not like I hoped.
