Ok, so i am close to buying an oil cooler. I have decided i would prefer to use the OE mounting location/rubber washer mount thingies are a solution that at least uses the factory mounting location. I want to avoid drilling new holes into the frame. Done it on many prior cars and it really isn't a big deal, but i do not want to do it this go around.
So there is the ER and Stett kits, but they are both pricey.
Never mind about the rest of this post, I called rev9 and they said the kit most likely wouldn’t fit a 1 series. So unless someone has tried it already I am assuming it doesn’t fit.
I came across these three, which for the most part appear to be the same but the range in price is $200 from lowest to highest cost. The surface area based on the measurements is bigger than the er core. The mount looks different on the one from the rev9 website but all three use the same description and mention the rev9 kit. The mount appears to have holes large enough that would use the oe rubber mounting washers, which is great for me.
Has anyone installed one of these? Is this HW complete trash? Also, all of them say for three series and N54. Is it safe to assume they would fit the 1er as well?
