Installation of coolant thermostat and Clearing fault codes

[mocsman]

I live in delaware, can anyone recommend where i should go to replace the coolant thermostat and have the fault code removed? I got the increased emissions warning and i dont think i want to pay the dealership $1k for parts and labor - this is what they quoted me. Any suggested shops?

Seriously take it to Sal. ACM has good prices and good people. Plus you can witness Sal clear codes by looking at your M3 with his determined/serious face.

Just an update on this: Error went away after a few days. I've driven another 200 miles and it hasn't come back yet. Hope it's just one of those cold weather glitches.

Could very well be. This cold weather can make the cars act kookie. Keep an eye on it, because it very well might be a problem and this was just an early sign to handle it.
