Hey, something funny for today :

We were at the grocery store with my girlfriend and we thought it would be nice to have ice-cream with coffee at home. So we did our shopping and put the supplies in trunk. Then I suggested that maybe we could still visit one general store and my gf anxiously said:
- " I'm affraid the ice-cream will melt in trunk..."
I was like "What the ....?"

So "maybe" we are too used to cold .

We have a -22 ?C at the moment... ...my e60 is like a freezer.

Hopefully warmer tomorrow with new EGR thermostat.

That would be the "light" version!

ps. Last night it was -37?C in Kuusamo, couple of hundred kms up north. The whole yesterday was -30?C here in Kajaani. Wasn't too keen to start the car at all .

Yes I hope it helps. Changing the main thermostat sounds like a pain in the freezing a**.
