I plan to use the O-W heat exchanger because fluid-to-fluid heat exchangers are (relatively) efficient and the stock one is sufficient for my needs. If I didn't have a SULEV, I'd get a high performance, all-aluminum radiator (because).
If you look at what cars it's used on; you can grab it from just about any BMW since the N-series engine came out. I thought about doing a custom air-oil cooler originally, but found the cost was prohibitive, and I think the water-oil one will suit my needs just fine.

Why can't the SULEVs get a high-performance radiator? I know CSF Racing makes some for the N52s...
