We don't have an oil coolant in our n51 engines. Look under your hood, you shouldn't see something big connected to the side of the ofhg? If not your good. I didn't have it in mine but I saw what it looks like from diy videos of n52 engines having it in the 3 series

Would it be the 330i and the other models (x3, 528i, etc) that had the higher hp version of the n52 that had an oil cooler? I've never seen an n52 in a 328i with it, but I have never actually worked on a 330i.
I would be shocked if the current BMW gasket isn't also the better material.
I'm also shocked at the amounts people get charged for doing this work... Having done one, I have no doubt I could knock it out in an hour next time, and I am no pro.
