2 questions advice needed

Hi everyone, just wanted to ask 2 questions that I need advice on, 335d 2006 e90, what colour coolant should it be, is it blue?

Also only had the car 10 days and noticed last week it wasn't getting upto temp, only getting to 55-65 when driving, if sat for a while it will get to 85-92 but as soon as I start driving it comes right back down, anyway I changed the main thermostat and it's no different and still only gets to 55-65, the thermostat wasn't a genuine one from bmw so I've now ordered a genuine one that I pick up tomorrow and will fit Friday but is it definitely likely to be the thermostat as I'm just thinking what are the odds that one was only getting upto 55-65 then I put a brand new one on and it's doing the same so could it be something else?

EGR has gone on the car and it's mapped out so there's only the main thermostat unless it's likely to be anything else

I'm in the uk if that makes any difference

Thanks guys

Not a lot of diesels here in the US and this board is mostly US
members. However the ones we have are the 335d's
I would suggest you go to the diesel sub forum here.
