I've always wanted to know the difference between the 2. It's a long shot but is it a possibility to retrofit their radiator? At the very least I'm sure we could get ideas from their design.

1Ms don't seem to have high temp issues from those who have been tracking and modding in the US.
Here is my opinion on oil temp issues and general limp mode for the 1M http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showp...&postcount=310

I think it comes down to MT v AT on the N54. I'm certain the AT are generating a lot more heat which is the underlying issue.
