Most thermostats work the same. It's a simple and cheap system. The two wires will be for an engine sensor. It will most likely be for the water temperature gauge on the dashboard.

SOURCE: BMW 320i is using 5L of oil every 1000miles no

Try using an automotive dye in the oil the oil has to be going somewhere the dye should reveal the loose gasket or loose oil plug in which the leak may only occur at speed under pressure and not present when stopped

SOURCE: I have a BMW 320i

If it is leaking, then it is not. Cars should not leak at all.

If it is being burned in the combustion process, some of that is normal — the older the engine, the more miles, the more so.

If it is burning a lot of oil, repairs are probably in order.

Oil can leak down the valve stems (which, if it is severe enough causes smoke on deceleration, due the the increased vacuum the intake valve stems undergo), or past the oil-scraper rings on the pistons (which, if severe enough, causes smoke an acceleration).

If this is not severe, switching to a slightly thicker oil can completely eliminate the problem. Don't go much higher than the recommended oil though, or you can introduce more serious problems.

Please help on how to reset the Engine light for the BMW 320i E90,N46 engine

You will need a scan tool that works on that BMW to clear any warning lights such as a check engine light. Unless you have resolved the problem/ fault that has caused the warning light you are wasting your time clearing it as an unresolved fault that has not been fixed will, once you drive the car again, generate the check engine light again together with a bunch of fault codes that can be read by the scan tool.

Cluster problem BMW e90 320i

Some cpu units require a fully operational alternator for everything to work as it draws directly from that source of power. The cheapest course of action would be to have that checked out first

I don't think your trouble is on the ignition side of it but I am sure that you must have a look at the idle speed control(stepper motor).
If with temperatuer your "misfire"changes to better, it means that it's probably running too lean at cold, normally the stepper motor or ISC does this job.
Let us know how you get on.
Cheers.
