Maybe a SSP clutch pack upgrade and RB's. We'll have to wait and see if this 335i is worthy.

That's a good thing.

What about the oil temp once you arrived at the "office" where you don't do much but pay people to do them for you?

We actually had a very romantic breakfast yesterday.

And I got to work on my car all day too.

Once I get the bar and bonnet painted and fitted I'll get some pics.

Your not trying hard enough. or it must be cold where you live, my car will see 120 every time i drive it.

[Nugget]

120c seems to be normal operating temp for mine. Rarely gets above that though, even flogging it in 40+ degree heat.

+1 Oil temp is always around 110-120C even with factory oil cooler.

I probably will be buying one (in Perth), anyone might be interested?

has anyone here had drama's with oil temps on the track? im looking to do a few club sprints and stuff and curious if they have problems given the already high oil temps

[Ned_Kelly]

ive been looking at the "evolution racewerks" kit to be safe, are there any other brand kits i should be looking at?

my main concern with there's is that i believe out a/c condenser is already in that location where they mount there oil cooler? and last thing i want to do is make the aircon worse then it already is

I recommend the Advan Stage 2. Pete has put together a pretty decent kit that works. Haven't had any oil temp related issues at the track since.

Took the car for some highway cruising the other day in 24 degree temps and the oil temp stayed at 95. Even with a few hard pulls it didn't budge. My old 135i would normally sit just over 100 degrees during highway driving in similar conditions.

There's nothing like having a bunnings warehouse within 2 minutes from home.

[pavo335]

seriously i have noticed that the temps are a good 10 deg lower with the thermostat.

Agreed.

Whatever the case this is a great mod for this over-tempered N54.
