If it makes you feel any better, they didn't put oil coolers on sport package E90s until well into 2009. So if you got an 07 or 08 you wouldn't have had one anyway. And there is no difference on the xi as far as the suspension goes - unlike the I which gets a lower/stiffer ride, the xi retains the SUV look.

A far as seats go, check with Recyclage St-Bruno. They deal with BMWs, and if you get lucky and find a car that had, for instance, engine water damage (ie interior untouched) then you can get a nice cheap set of sports seats.
