Default GROUP BUY - Oil Cooler?

I am going to fit an increased capacity oil cooler this spring as it is obvious to me that the S54 in the m3/CSL suffers from too much heat.

I have a few different in mind, mainly US based and if we buy a few instead of one we can get prices well below face value, you never know we might be able to find someday of avoiding some import duty.........

I think we are talking about £400 plus tax and post before discounts so £600 ish.

I am currently looking for direct replacements for OEM COOLERS but I'm speaking to Simpsons next week and maybe looking at secondary coolers.

Anybody interested and I'll post up some ideas and options?

That one Brett is not for S54 and I think a Simpsons alternate using a Mota cooler would try to do the same thing but you have problem with space ESP if you have a/c rad

OPTIONS to replace OEM are Turner, Fluidyne, Bimmerworld, HPF

All are a little bit different but I think the BIMMERWORLD one is best and cheapest and direct replacement, longer and double pass cooler.

http://store.bimmerworld.com/bimmerw...ler-p1517.aspx



CA do sell one but it's nearly £1000

the HPF one comes with or without the ducting which on M3 is not required so $100 cheaper.

Yes sorry Matt, it is S54 and an option but I think if possible on our cars with a/c Simpson could do this cheaper, BUT I am not sure more package to the water rad is the best solution. It is already very congested,

The HPF with duct is mainly to pickup air from under the car on cars fitted with s/c I think I read somewhere. I think for standard NA cars you don't need the very nice duct so $100 cheaper.


In my reading so far it's not just capacity that makes cooling better but the way the cooler works. It seems double pass is the better way to go but still reading
