AAF Low Temp Thermostat Kit - Full Kit - E46
Since 2010, Advanced Auto Fabrication has been producing and developing both parts and full fledged race cars. Their knowledge base covers a wide range of vehicles both domestic and imported. In the specific case of BMW, the team at AAF has a particular affinity for building and designing components for BMW race cars.
The factory M54 thermostat is electronically controlled to keep the engine running between 80-103°C, whereas race cars like to maintain 80°C or less for maximum power. Additionally, the mechanical failsafe doesn’t open up until the coolant temperature reaches 110°C, or 230°F, which is about the point when most race cars are turned off and parked which is no good for the motor! The AAF E46 M54 Low Temp Thermostat Kit is designed to give the control of proper engine operating temperature back by replacing the stock electronic thermostat with a manual unit. This allows the engine to run at the proper, and much safer, operating temperature, improving engine longevity, reduces stress from high-temp. operation, reduces heat soak, and increases power!
