Product Details

Motorad Standard 274-180 is an engine coolant thermostat engineered to meet OEM specifications and processes. The copper case supports reliable heat transfer, while the wax element reacts quickly as coolant temperature rises and falls. This helps maintain the correct operating range in BMW cooling systems that specify a 180F thermostat, including BMW Z3, BMW M3, BMW 328i, BMW 325i, and BMW 525i applications.

This part cross-references Anchor 3088 for the same application. It also cross-references 12T67D for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Engine running too cool or taking too long to reach operating temperature
• Temperature swings caused by a worn thermostat element
• Coolant flow control issues in BMW cooling systems
• Air trapped in the thermostat housing area
• Replacement needs for a 180F OEM-style thermostat

Installation Notes

Verify the thermostat housing and sealing surfaces before installation. This unit does not include a gasket or seal, and no installation tool is included. Confirm the 180 degree temperature specification and match the vehicle application before service. The jiggle pin weep hole and offset design should be oriented according to the housing layout and service procedure.
