No, not the Zed that's toasty.

Jumped in the 318i yesterday and no hot air from heater.

Plugged the scanner in today and coolant only reaching 50' C so no wonder. Presume thermostat has failed open so looking to change it and coolant.
It's the N43 engine - stat change looks straightforward but TIS talks about using a vacuum filling unit - which doesn't seem necessary to me from the description.

Has anybody done similar job - if so advice requested please.
