Unfortunately, the hidden menu goes back to being hidden after the car is turned off. So the hidden menu access is only practical for infrequent checks. If you want easier access for freqent engine temperature checks, use Carly or Torque or a similar item.

I'd have gone about it myself, but the EGR cooler sits right there over the thermostat on the M57. Just more than I wanted to chew off at home in my garage. It's easier on the gassers.
What Indy shop do you go to in Minneapolis?

I forgot to post after I had done this. I got it completed in my garage in about 3.5 hours, and that includes a significant amount of time trying to figure out how to remove the cooling fan and, and figuring out where all of the EGR cooler bolts were. Doing it over again I think I could have it done in 1.5 hours. Knowing what I know after going through it, I would seriously question any quote (assuming they weren't 1st timers like I was) that specifies 3.5 hours of labor.

Not saying that anybody got ripped off, just trying to provide some information to help people ask the right questions in the future. As BMW owners, there are plenty of shops out there waiting to suck an extra Benjamin or 2 out of us.

xdrive35D doesn't even have that assembly. You are looking at info for the wrong motor/region.

Figuring out how to get the fan out easily took as long as the rest of the job. I was just afraid to yank it out past the charge pipe.

just to reiterate . and there is a hinge on rad fan tab. (I didnt catch this my first time) to fold it in out of the way

Yep, the driver's side tab hinges inward to clear the upper radiator hose. Both tabs just sort of clip into their mounts, and that wasn't obvious at first glance. Pressing just above them with a screwdriver will allow the fan to lift out.
