Upgraded Oil coolers?

[lightning]

Hi guys, anyone upgraded your oil coolers yet? Would love to hear some feedback and some advice on which to go for.. Currently seem there are only 2 options, ER oil cooler and the Dinan one? Anyone installed?

I've got the twin ER oil cooler setup, and works great on track.

yup i was thinking of that too. if it's a lot better than our stock ones i'm gonna change it out


most important is the fit.

Wouldn't you lose the auxiliary radiator on the 1M with this setup?

ER do a "sport" version of the cooler, which is just one side of it. My car was/is a 135i, where I only had the smaller OEM oil cooler.

You could in theory add just a bigger more efficient cooler on both sides, and keep the oil & water setup.

I have the shrouds and they do fit the 1m bumper with no major cutting, the very edges of the black air ducts on the 1M bumper do touch (once bumper is back inplace), but you can trim the shround alittle to round it off.
The other element you need to trim is the inner wheel arch liner, due to the bigger cooler.
