The thermostat is inside a black plastic housing, It is inside the housing assembly where both radiator hoses meet up by the engine. You can't replace just the thermostat, the whole housing has to be replaced,

How do I replace thermostat?

The key to searching for information about your BMW is to identify the chassis code. In this case, you have an e46.
Check out the Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_3_Series_%28E46%29

As for your thermostat, Google search: e46 thermostat diy

Join the following forums and search the e46 sections for more help: Bimmerforums.com Bimmerfest.com

How to replace rear shocks on 2003 bmw 325i

You have to take the trunk liners off of both sides. There will be 3 13mm nuts on each side for the shocks, and under the car is a 16 or 17mm bolt that has to be removed. I hope this helps.
