oil cooler

I've done some digging but find not much for aftermarket (larger) oil cooler, currently run about 230-250 degrees, which makes me a bit uncomfortable.

230-250 is normal for the 135i. The small turbo(s) are always spinning and heating that oil. There are quite a few kits that change the oil cooler fittings from BMW lines to -10AN lines, which you can then use with a universal oil cooler...

Understood, Thanks for the response.

There are aftermarket coolers you can get as part of the BMW Performance or Dinan kits, if you want something serious. On the lesser end you can get a lower temp thermostat from BMS or a few other vendors that seem to work decently.
