Dinan Oil Cooler
I just brought my 2008 335xi into the dealer today to have the ECU reprogrammed with the Dinan engine software. I have two questions:
1) how can i be assured that I have the stock oil cooler (i have the sports package, so does this mean I should have it?) 2) i noticed on the dinan website that they recommend upgrading to the dinan oil cooler even if one has the stock oil cooler. does anyone know if this actually makes a difference? can I seriously damage my car if i stick with the stock oil cooler? Thanks - any help would be greatly appreciated! |

To make sure you have it look in the front passanger wheel well and you should see it.... Also, because you have a 2008 335i w/sport package I am 100% positive that you do have it. Enjoy the tune and keep us updated! If you wanna be really helpful do a before and after dyno....

Let me rephrase.... Since you have a 2008 335i/xi with the sport package you are going to have the oil cooler....

You have the additional oil cooler. No need to upgrade to the Dinan one. I didn't have one, so I bought the Dinan oil cooler kit because it was cheaper than adding the OEM one.
You should be fine. |

Oil cooler lines visible in the engine bay on N54:
Or look in the forward area of the front passenger side wheel well for the actual cooling unit. |

Oil cooler upgrades would only be advantageous for those running high boost and/or tracking their vehicles.
If you find your car exceeding the 250 degree mark on your oil temp throughout daily driving there is a problem and it doesnt have to do with getting an upgrade. |
