I have thought about the BMW PPK which would add a stronger cooling fan and a additional radiator. Another up grade would be a larger oil cooler such as DINAN that is about twice the size of our stock unit. Has anyone with either of these upgrades noticed any improvement?

What ranges of oil temps are you seeing and at what temps outside? Typically I see around 240-250 at the very most during hard driving in temps above 80 degrees. Usually when the ambient temps are lower and im just driving around usually its at 230 average. I have the HPF intercooler and DCI but no tune yet so..

Soo what are the options for this, other then Meth which I def dont wanna get involved in?
