Oil cooler for 02/2007 E92?

AviatorBimmerFL · 12-28-2016, 08:54 AM

Anyone recommends a good afrermarket oil cooler setup for my E92? Car did not come with an OEM oil cooler and being that I live in Florida and plan on keeping my car until the wheels fall off, I sure would love to add an oil cooler.

Thanks!

Our one 335i sport was built in 3/2007. They started putting on oil coolers the next month, so I was in the same boat. I bought an oil cooler filter housing off of someone on ebay. I also bought all new oil filter gaskets. I then bought a $135 oil cooler and lines off of ebay.

The oil cooler is about 3 times larger than the stock one so it now has plenty of cooling. I located it where the stock one would have gone. I did have to fab up a mount for the cooler but it was no big deal. All in all I have about $300 in the set up. After a year it's working great.

You have a link to the eBay purchases?

I now just need to buy the Oil coller itself and I'm on my way to a DIY weekend project.

highly recommend you also remove your plastic engine cover during the hot weather as this stabilizes temps and brings them to exactly where they should be during the hot weather.

It been over a year since I bought the oil cooler but it was similar to this:

You did need an oil filter housing from an N54 which had the connections for an external oil cooler. good luck.
