Oil Cooler DIY?

Little1er · 05-17-2010, 11:07 AM

Is there an oil cooler DIY on here. If anyone has attempted it, how hard is it? Does it require removing the front bumper?

Does your car NOT have an oil cooler? I thought almost all 135i's have them. I thought just a few of the early 135i 'Verts did not come with them.

And of course all 2011's N55's do not have them unless you click the M-Sport pack option.

Found a DIY @ http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=234414.

My car does have an oil cooler, but I was recommended to upgrade it if I do a tune. Can anyone comment on this?

would upgrade the FMIC before the oil cooler....or do both if you plan on tracking your car a ton. Otherwise for a daily driver with some spirited driving it should be good...spend money on other mods...like a FMIC.
