You can check your VIN here for what options your car actually HAS....

As for oil coolers or not... I think
option #840 is linked to these two spart packages:
ZMP &
ZSP.
I also know that first year production 135i verts
did not come with an oil cooler(passenger side wheel well). All US spec 135i's had oil coolers are standard equipment(just not first year Verts, later they got the oil cooler too). THAT wasn't the case with early production 335i's in 2007 & 2008 model years - just fyi.
As for your PPK flash... some late model N55's can be flashed - up to a certain build date. That's because someone uploaded the PPK for those builds to the interwebs and its out there now.
Also for shits and giggle... check out this posting of mine...

When I drive fast on the Autobahn... I mean faster than say 260 kph.... my foot stays FLAT on the gas pedal so long... that the vacuum reservoir runs out of reserves and my AC vents default to the defrost(safety mode)air flow position. That is what it is
like to have an Autobahn in your back yard! In the states you are lucky to hit triple digits for a few fleeting seconds. Not over here. And when I drive at super fast speeds... I can empty my fuel tank in as little as 200 kilometers - all 53 liters!!!
Some of my V-MAX runs at night driving North on the
A9 from Munich to Nuremberg...
and this video when I first got my engine tuned - driving South of Stuttgart on the A81 towards Switzerland....
