New member, I have a 2007 335i N54/Automatic with 89000 miles on it. Thinking of doing the water pump/thermostat change as I may be on borrowed time. I am also considering all coolant hoses due to age and mileage while it's apart just to stay ahead of problems. Does anyone have experience with complete hose replacement and (how many are there). I can find 7. Thanks for the help.
I didn't tackle that myself but offhand ya replacing water pump etc at this age & mileage sounds like a good idea. You could try realoem.com to help figure out needed parts.
Welcome! These forums can be a little confusing with all the subforums - your best bet to local tips for that would be to hit up your local chapter (the Golden Gate chapter) social media (and or chapter message forums), and if you don't get some info that way, try emailing your chapter officers - chapter president, vp, etc. If the GGC chapter website has old newsletters archived, checking one of those might yield an ad for local detail shops. As an offshoot thought, it's possible Griot's Garage maybe has recommended detail shops? Check their website for that or call & ask perhaps. https://www.ggcbmwcca.org/
