Not a particularly hard job, just some very awkward bolts to get to, make it a real pain in the arse.
Amazing how much smoother it runs with a working thermostat and mileage appears to have improved as well.

I drove 1000s of miles unaware my thermostat was broken. My mileage went up like 16% immediately. I could not figure out why my wife's nearly identical x5 got 23 highway and I got 20 on a good day.
The moronic non gauge for temp on the dash is one of the biggest fails for BMW right up with the self destructing door handle.
