what's the best oil cooler for 135i

135iDCT · 10-07-2011, 09:45 AM

i know Dinan oil cooler ...is there other company

my car is stock, when i hit it hard it reaches 250...with a custom oil cooler what's the results??

is it ok with the tire, when turning hard maybe the tire will touch the bigger oil cooler,,(stock tires)..

I have the Dinan oil cooler and there are no clearance issues. I'm running 225's in the front with a 12mm spacer and have no rubbing.

135iDCT · 10-07-2011, 09:56 AM

what about the temp is it much lower than the stock oil cooler??

duvinclunk · 10-07-2011, 12:24 PM

Interested. I'd love to hear what lowers temps the best...

I have the ER oil cooler and it's really nice..also comes with ducting to ram air into it. you can see it on the left sort of. My oil temps run about 10 degrees lower but the real test will be when i take it to the track.

SO what did it take to get the cooler installed? Was it a shop install or did you do it?
Thanks,
DD

i dont have a garage so i just let ER do it..looks relatively simple but time consuming..you'll have to remove the front bumper and basically unattach and replace the oil lines and stock oil cooler...shrouding looks easy

duvinclunk · 10-07-2011, 05:11 PM

Does ER have a website?

1. Fred is the man! I love my ER kit as well. A bit of trimming is required and a lot of little adjustments to make it fit. I have the apex wheels w/245s up front and no rubbing either. Stays 10-15 degrees cooler both daily driving and track days. I'm sure the race kit with dual cores is even better. Even at peak temps, it takes quite a bit longer to get to that temp, as a side note.

We offer oil cooler kits for the 135i's and offer some nice forum discounts too!

I put in below an image we took that I fellow member posted a little while back compiling users, their cars and their temperatures, it's an interesting one too look at. Should help you decide...

infinitekidM2C · 10-11-2011, 02:55 PM

What's Stage 2 Stett? ER has a stage 1 (one oil cooler) and Stage 2 (two oil coolers); so we know if we are comparing apples to oranges lol.

Our Stage 1 kit is for stock cars with no factory cooler. The Stage 2 is for modified cars and is what we recommend for anyone with mods or anyone that drives their car enthusiastically.
