2001 BMW 525 59000miles. My service engine soon light is on. I checked the code and it says the thermostat is not letting the engine heat up to optimum levels. The cars seems to run normal and the dash temperature gauge is in the middle. I'm wondering if I should replace the thermostat or the sensor or both. thanks
