I'm having the same issue on my E90 316i. There is no check engine light on, but a read done with a dedicated BMW scanner shows the code 002EF7 - Map thermostat, activation. Did your code reader show any errors? I saw there are "simple" code readers, which don't give you the specific error. I have one of those and the error format is different. I used it and it doesn't get that error 002EF7.

If your thermostat is stuck open it's really not a huge deal. Yes, it's probably not a good idea to be going full throttle all the time, but the whole "sucking fuel" thing is nonsense. I have 3 cars and one of them is an older 2011 335i convertible which I only drive on sunny weekends, and it currently has a thermostat which is stuck open. I've noticed very little difference in terms of fuel economy and it's been broken for 4-5 months.

I’m too used to modern diesels that refuse to heat up while idling in cold climates. Once you put load on the engine though they eventually heat up, but slower than gas because the engine block is thicker and I think they run cooler at light loads because the fuel mixture is so much leaner.

On the 530d e39, this summer I suspected the thermostat to do the same not closing fully, the car was longer to warm up but once fully openend, solid 12 o'clock temp gauge, but I was suspicious. I ordered the thermostat with a water pump (plastic turbine, I broke one on my 325tds last year). During fall, the temp was just over the 1/4 mark, except in traffic or in city (and was going really cold during big downhills). Just to wait a week or two, I covered barely a half of the radiator with a piece of cardboard being cautious not to cover the turbo intercooler of course. It worked great, back to solid temps. Then I changed all this stuff, and cleaned the fins because man they were loaded with crap ! Back to almost new now (155k mi)

I don't have any codes but it feels like it takes a long time to warm up, then again I hit the highway pretty quick from my home so..... hard to tell. Struggles to for temps to rise once it gets to the dot but that's about when the OEM one should open anyway I think to let coolant flow? I bought a new thermostat that opens like 10 degrees hotter but have not installed it because not sure if that's a great idea, but some people swear by it because faster warm up better fuel economy.

idk whats wrong with my e46 M3 but its on its 2nd thermostat and I figure it will need a third this summer. A couple summers ago it was overheating so I had the thermostat replaced. (it was both over heating and under heating once it should be at operating temp and warm) well that fixed the issue for about a year before it started under heating again, and a month later the over heating. Last summer I had enough and replaced the thermostat and the water pump this time. Within a weeks time it under heats again. Most of the time its fine or hardly noticeable (the dial being ever so slightly to the left of the center line) but sometimes its noticeable. anyone have any similar experience?
