You would need to retrofit an oil filter housing from an early 128 / 328 that has the provisions for the small oil cooler that came on the early cars. you would need the filter housion, the cooler and the couple of hoses to route coolant to the cooler.. also as a secondary add on, you could not use the cooler and retrofit the plate from a 135 and install an external air to oil cooler like a 135.

This is pathetic if the car can't handle 20 minutes of track use in 75 deg weather. There must be more people running into this issue than just us.
The simplest solution may be to simply duct some air to the oil pan, e30 guys have found that is more effective than the stock small oil cooler. All that plastic under the car is good for aero but certainly doesn't help the cooling situation.
