Oil cooler question
Is there anything out there that replaces the stock OC core with a bigger unit while retaining most of stock plumbing for OEM look from engine bay?

IIRC the connections on the OEM oil cooler are a special design by BMW, so simply putting in another core won't work.
I looked into that, but you have to get adapters to connect to the new core to the existing plumbing, or buy new oil lines, plus there will be some fab work to do also. You're better off waiting until Black Friday and get a ER Sport oil cooler for less than $600. I think thats the best solution out there if you simply want to upgrade to a stock part to a more efficient solution and don't plan on hammering the car at the track regularly. |

I got my ER sport oil cooler at a Black Friday price - you might just contact them and see what kind of deal they'll give you. It has adapters for its hoses that screw into the OEM fittings and aside from the fact that they're black nylon braided hoses, it looks "factory".

You also have the Dinan Oil Cooler "system" that replaced not only the Oil Cooler that is two times the size of the stock, it replaced also the stock oil hoses with bigger oil hoses that are braided, a replacement air duct, and ventilation air flangs help to direct the air flow and to protect from stone flings from the wheels that can damage the oil cooler fins
It only cost $1600 . If your not planning on keeping the car then seek a cheaper solution |

It's possible to custom fabricate an upgraded oil cooler kit. Buy a Setrab oil cooler core & the connection lines. Turner Motorsport sells a kit (~$900), but you could probably just buy the mount directly from them. Here is the description from the webpage for the product:

Yep...custom lines and 180 degree thermostat are the way to go.

I will have to modify the setrab core since I am icing the stett bracket that goes underneath crash bumper. With this being under crash bumper it caused fitment issue with my 1M bumper because it pushed crash bumper out 1/8" - 1/4"
