Crap. My turn.
I guess I'll fit the water-oil heat exchanger fitted on the higher-performance N52's while it's out of there. Here's my spaced intake manifold. I know, the erector set is a tad ghetto, but it works while I figure out a better solution. Notice my heat shielding. I have zero problems with IAT's, BTW.

I need to clean off the area and see if it gets like this again to confirm, but yes, this could be a sign...

Bought one off of Ebay a couple of years back, $29.00 shipped, and am waiting on the OFHG or the water pump to go. Prices may be a little out of date, but (i hope) the hyperlinks are still good. I didn't verify them. I'll send you a copy if you'd like, just PM me. I believe this list to be comprehensive, thorough, and accurate for my car. YMMV

Also, the OF housing itself is the same as the 135i (335i), which means it can mount a plethora of OEM and remote oil cooler options.
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).

I know I don't have to say it, but I will. Don't buy used coolant hoses, the most expensive items on the list.

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

EDIT: I would be very pleased if one of the high-performance radiator manufacturing companies made a true performance radiator for the BMW NA SULEVs. There are hundreds-of-thousands of them.

I did more research, it seems I need the pipe coming out of the water pump from the auto cars, and the pipe bridging from a fitting on that pipe to the heat exchanger. But I'll look at my engine tomorrow and see what I really need. RealOEM isn't helping (it thinks my engine has the heat exchanger).

Been there, done that. Why I made the list. Obviously some stuff could be re-used.

I've compiled a parts list of what I need:
It includes the new housing, a gasket kit (includes gasket, bolts, and pressure switch), the hose running across the front of the engine, and the hose running from the pump to the engine block with the t-fitting for the auto trans cooler. I'll be doing this, along with a coolant flush, system cleaning, and refill. For coolant mixture, I'm thinking of doing a 70/30 water/antifreeze mix with Water Wetter. I'll also do my oil change (I hit 170k miles today!), Castrol 0w-40 Euro Blend, and a Mann filter.

Crappy job but good that you're getting it done! Congrats on 170k on the clock that's a solid number!

Thanks! I just scheduled to have my car repaired, going to drop it off Thursday afternoon, so far, a very good experience!

Well, I took the passenger seat out of the car after my rain + window incident. Left it in front of a heater all day, thing was dry as a desert by the end. Put it back in the car, no dice. But, I did get a consistent signal from the airbag module, unlike before, which is progress.
As for racing seats, I think I'm going to shoot for a pair of OMP First-R's, they're FIA-Approved full bucket seats that fit my dimensions with a little room for growth. I was also recommended the Macht Schnell occupancy sensor module, but I think I'll stick with an eBay emulator, which will keep the airbag active, but will clear the error.
