Looking forward to seeing your progress on this! It's interesting to me because you are using the OE HW (which I prefer when possible) and you are trying to mount them in parallel. The in parallel part is very intriguing because
berns is running two slightly larger coolers in series and still has cooling issues in some scenarios. I am looking forward to seeing if two factory coolers in parallel can get the job done. If not, I remember someone showing me an OE cooler on a different car, I think the 535, that mounts in the passenger fender but was larger than the OE E82 cooler. Not sure about fitment though.
There is this company that makes a larger cooler for the E92 M3 DCT, which mounts in the same location as our stock oil cooler. part:

It looks like it will work though. I believe the E92 M3 DCT oil cooler is the same as our oil cooler, and this upgrade appears to be using the factory mounting bracket.
