You won't find the oil cooler info anywhere, except as an aftermarket "accessory". It may no longer be a component of any Msport package. I've tried to determine whether the oil cooler is or not because I'm considering a new 535i with the Msport option; but if the cooler isn't there, I may not want the Msport option at all. I want to run a hotter engine map and the cooling is key.  |
The OP is pretty old, but it's specifically about the differences between the "Sport" and "M-Sport" packages on the E82/E88 1 Series. The packages shared an identical suspension. Both also had staggered wheels of the same size, but different styles (I think
all 1ers were sold with staggered wheels?).
The difference between the two packages are cosmetic, as established earlier in the thread (wheel style, anthracite headliner, body kit on the 128i, and numerous M trim pieces).
