N55 Oil Cooler

kimoboy · 05-21-2015, 12:24 PM

Does all N55 come with oil cooler.

jonluc88 · 05-21-2015, 12:38 PM

Nope. Even some M sport model doesnt come with oil cooler.

Dhillon92 · 05-21-2015, 12:41 PM

No... Did you even bother searching LOL.

Look up burger tuning sport oil cooler valve on their website, there is a pic that helps you identify whether you do or not. Basically if you have oil lines coming out of your oil filter housing going towards your passenger wheel well or not tells you if you have one or not.

Was lazy to hit the search button.

Ok is there a kit that will fit in car that has oil cooler and the one that doesnt have, because I am buying E90 335i 2010-up. so I still don't know if it has one or not.

Visit N54tuning.com Mike. He is very helpful in terms of mods. I purchased all my parts from him.

As for the oil cooler, there is a retrofit kit for cars without oil cooler from manufactures.

Pop the hood and post a pic of the oil filter housing. We will be able to tell you if it has it or not.

I still don't have the car.

ER sells an upgraded oil cooler kit, you can buy it and they have an option for those who don't have an oil cooler, it includes everything you need to retrofit one. You can also retrofit one yourself if your up for the task.

Sport package comes with an oil cooler but I don't think it's all that effective. I run right at a hair under 250 degrees and I think that's a bit hot. The yellow highlighted section is the OEM one that can come with the car.

The engine is designed to run at those oil temps. That is where the oil thermostat opens. The oil cooler is pretty small but it seems to do its job unless you are racing in Florida based on posts here.

Not true if you are talking about xDrive.

And I have a M-Sport xDrive and don't. Not all Sport/M-Sport xDrives have an oil cooler. Generally most xDrives that are Sport / M-Sport and have the 18in Summer Wheel/Tire package and high-speed rev limiter will have an oil cooler... but that isn't always the case.

Yup! My first e92 335i XDrive was an early '11 build and MSport was not even offered - just sport package and no oil cooler. My 2013 MSport has one, but I had to order the upgraded 18" summer wheel package. This was kind of a deceptive option as the spec sheet did not indicate an oil cooler with the option, but it was the only way to get it.

You don't need to have the car, you just need the VIN. Go to the VIN decode website and put in the VIN number - it will show you the options that the car comes with. If it shows option 840, then the car has the oil cooler.

kimoboy · 05-23-2015, 07:45 PM

True what i mean I didnt buy the car yet

We have the prerequisites on our m-sport to accommodate an upgraded OC, but not an upgraded OC from the factory.

Great post. I was finally able to figure out that I have an oil cooler.

As a side note, if you are running into limp mode with the n55 AT it's probably water temp not oil.
