If you can explain to us how the oil cooler is attached to the car. I've read that the n54 335i oil filter housing can be used and any n54 oil cooler set up.


I'll email you in a few days regarding the rotors.
I did discover that the 130i used 330i rotors with the 128i caliper, so I hope this confirms what i found.
Food for thought, at least on the older cars (e46) when there's a variety of brake options, coding should be done to optimize the electronic brake for distribution to the hardware. E.g. if you retrofit CSL brakes to the e46, you recode the DSC module accordingly.

Might be beneficial for you guys as well.

And, if you're going off book (non standard BMW setup or aftermarket), best to match the DSC coding to the closest BMW bias.
