What has been done to the 1M engine system to prevent it better from overheating? I read a few things but cannot recall them. Intercooler/oilcooler stuff? We know the 1M comes with an oil temp gauge which the 135i doesn't have, but that doesn't prevent an engine from overheating off course.

I seem to recall that the 1M came with the extra radiator in the driver's fender and the HD radiator fan(higher wattage) - both parts are from the PPK(Performance Power Kit). I don't think the oil cooler is any different from a 135i. ?
