oil temp to high ?
I just got my turbos replaced and noticed my oil temp reaching 240ish to 250 , and im not even spirited driving . Still breaking in the turbos . so im not flooring it over 4k rpms . my car is an 07 335i e92? no oil cooler too. plus the weather here has been around the 80s -90s(with ac on) also seen a pool of water under my car . i assume its from the ac .
Thanks! |

With a good synthetic oil you're fine. If you're still worried you can retrofit an oil cooler housing, lines and oil cooler to your car. Our 335i was a March 2007 build that didn't come with the oil cooler either. I went ahead and retrofitted one. Ever since I did the peak temps are down about 20 degrees.

Build date has nothing with n54 having oil cooler or not. Oil cooler helps but easiest would be tune that will run coolant pump harder to keep temperatures down.

The water is in fact AC condensation. These cars don't use plain water for any operating fluids as far as I know.

If you have an MHD flash on your car you can turn up the cooling settings. I used to run in the 240-250 range all the time. But since I turned up the cooling settings I rarely get above 240 and its South Florida + I don't drive slow. Yes it makes the car louder at stoplights and what not but worth it.

Actually on the sport models the build date does have a bearing on whether it came with an oil cooler or not. Sport models with a build date of 04/2007 or later are supposed to come with the cooler. In our case, unfortunately ours was built 03/2007 and it didn't. Missed it by one month.

Clean is the new cool, keep it that way.

Yeah it has to have the "hot climate" option IIRC. Most cars sold in the south get this automatically optioned by the dealers but I have seen some in Texas that were bought here that don't have it.
This is an install of a PSP kit on a car that did not come with it stock.

I believe so but waterpump longevity on these cars is trivial at times so it almost doesn't matter. Buy your pump from fcp and get a lifetime warranty and run run sport cooling mode. It's worth it.

That's not true, I know a guy with a 2008 x drive with the sports package and no oil cooler.
For example: https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/invent...ting=212900130 Like I said, if the car has the "S823A Hot-climate version" option then it has an oil cooler.

Based on your garage entry, it looks like you have an auto. I believe the only early builds that got it were the cars equipped with a manual.

I have an 07 335i. before I got an oil cooler my temps could easily hit 275. Now I put an oil cooler on and I have MHD running track cooling and I have yet to see a temp over 230. Even in this Socal heat.

I know it's not sport package because my 2010 335xi sport doesn't have oil cooler and it came with all season 17" wheels. |
