Overheating issues?

The unwillingness of BMW or the dealership to answer this very basic question represents just plain old piss-poor customer service. I apologize for the French-speak.

Fwiw, I agree with you.

I'll be dissapointed if any 135i's with ZSP are delivered without the real oil cooler, regardless of the transmission choice.

We've seen the OEM external oil cooler installed on cars delivered in Europe, so we know they are installing them on some models. I thinks it's a little funny that the early buzz was that the oil cooler was explicitly listed as part of the sport package (along with the other items), but somehow didn't make it into the final "sport package" that appears in the most current literature. I'm hoping the O/C can reliably be included when you spec a car a certain way.
