M7 180°F (82°C) Thermostat - 53-3M7104

A cooler running engine will perform better, make more power and have crisper throttle response. The M7 180^o F Thermostat is calibrated a full 15 degrees cooler than the 195 degree F factory thermostat. Not only does the engine maintain its fresh-start power, but also the under-hood temperatures are greatly diminished (see comparison table below). This is great modification for the MINI owner that lives in a hot climate, or those who want maximum power and performance when driving hard at the track or local twisty road.

Cold Weather Alert: If you encounter weather below 50^oF or 10^oC, please be aware that the ECU could throw a check engine light. This is no cause for alarm as the sensors are registering an anomaly and the thermostat is not harming the engine. The check engine light can be reset with a diagnostic tool or left as is. Please call if you have questions.

Please Note: The M7 Thermostat does not include a replacement gasket. Reuse the gasket from the OEM thermostat (this is easiest to remove when the vehicle and thermostat are cold).
