I've never experienced limp mode from overheating but I'd like to have a better cooling system before I upgrade my twin snails  |
From the chat I had with Pete from Advan, he wasn't too concerned with 120 but had a BIG concern with the change interval. I get that bit!
What temps are you seeing on the strip, is that the 120+ you mention?
Remember BMW did not ship the N54 with an oil cooler to start with, so does that mean we should rip out the OEM unit?? The more I think about it and read from other members the bigger single unit where the stock one is sounds like the best compromise? I am keen to hear back from JD, who has the most worked N54 I have seen locally on OIL/WATER cooling.
I suspect I know the answer but he has done lots of development so he will know
