Mosselman Oil Thermostat - BMW F87 M2 Competition F80 M3 F82 M4 (S55)

Product Description

The Mosselman oil thermostat replaces the factory thermostat assembly on compatible BMW S55 engines. Its thermostatic valve begins opening at 85°C, allowing engine oil to pass through the existing oil cooler earlier than the standard arrangement. Mosselman reports an approximately 20°C reduction in operating oil temperature; actual results depend on vehicle and operating conditions.

The housing is CNC-machined from aluminium and retains a functioning thermostat rather than permanently opening the oil circuit. Choose from Silver, Black, Red or Blue finishes, with optional Mosselman titanium hex bolts and an OEM BMW gasket option. The gasket option is fulfilled using Mosselman's installation kit, comprising an oil-filter-housing gasket and two oil-hose O-rings.

FAQs

What does the 85°C specification mean?

The thermostatic valve starts to open at approximately 85°C. It is not a permanently open bypass.

Does this fit the original F87 M2?

No. The original F87 M2 uses the N55 engine and requires the separate N55 F-series thermostat.

What is supplied with the OEM BMW gasket option?

Clubsport Garage supplies Mosselman's installation kit (030210012), containing one oil-filter-housing gasket and two oil-hose O-rings.

Are the titanium bolts included?

No. Mosselman titanium GR5 hex bolts (030210011) are selectable as a separate option.
