Herbmiester 909 Report post Posted November 6, 2021 Need a pump and thermostat for an N52. (E61 530i N52 2008). Also do I need to use the blue BMW coolant if so where do you get it other than BMW? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blackie 510 Report post Posted November 6, 2021 Powerhaus in Thorndon is where I got my coolant from, and yes you need blue (it contains lubricant). I got my thermo from Amazon (cheapest OEM I could find) and pump from V1 Vehicle parts, but they did put their prices up afterwards. Make sure your get replacement bolts with the pump too. It's a fun job! My face was blue. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gofaster 93 Report post Posted November 6, 2021 I did a quote for you using FCP who I have used several times - as below Water Pump, Thermostat, bolt kits for both and shipping to ChCh address. Price is $US 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4015 Report post Posted November 6, 2021 You need G48 coolant, it doesn't need to be BMW branded, they don't add any magic to the mixture. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
