I got the hypertech and it says that it works better with the 160 thermo. I have a 2000 m5 and I think the the 160 doesn't work right on the newer models but will it work right for me or is the 180 better for my car.

It's a bad idea for a lower thermostat because your car will always think that it hasn't warmed up, so it will run a lot richer and you will get poor gas mileage from it since it is not running efficiently. But of course do what you want with your car, good luck.

you can run the 160 in a 2000 model without any problems at all, no resistor or any mods necessary to make it work trouble free. COnsider yourself lucky [img]smile.gif[/img]
What about with my 99, will a 160 thermostat work fine?
I have heard it helps if you drill two 5mm holes to let a little bit of coolant through at all times, would this be advisable if I were to go to a 160, or should I skip the 160 and just drill out the 180 stat, or get a 160 and forget drilling....so many choices.
BTW, this is my first post here, I've been part of fbodyv6.com and have been watching the forum but never felt like registering until now ;)
