Incidentally, the standard stat for bombproof 90's BMW straight sixes is 88 degrees.
It's a complicated topic. I'm yet to be convinced that a low temp stat is unambiguously a good thing.
Probably the ideal would be a stat that opened at 86 degrees like the factory stat, but opened fully at that temp. But even then, It's not going to make much difference as muc car only runs a few degrees higher than that normally.
