That's if you haven't changed them already. Have fun...

Great idea! Maybe he should also get new tires, a battery and have it repainted too...I mean it
is already at the shop.
Do the tstat; everything you would pull to do it will be off for the pump, as was stated. It is in a plastic housing, which I would consider suspect.
Bimmerdude likes to hypothetically throw around other people's dough, I have noticed. Everything non-cooling related he mentioned is easy DIY stuff.
