Oil temp is a bad evil on a n54. I hate seeing mine up in 120 on the road and I've touched 130 on the track,

I also have the BMS oil stat bypass but when the temps up it's up, it really takes some cooling.

I'm gonna start looking into aftermarket kits

 

have you not got a intercooler dom? does the meth not help?

 

oddly my oil temps seemed lower after fitting my intercooler? but I doubt it

I want An oil cooler)

the 1m has 2 but i cant recall if i had the second one fitted ill have to look!

 

Think the highest I've seen on road is 110C, however haven't really driven it hard got a prolonged period!

Iirc the JB4 has a coolant temp hijack? Could always hijack that on the fuel level or even on the oil and once in a while lower the revs to check the oil temps and run the boost pressure on the fuel? Not sure if I'm dreaming there though?

Well ordered a intercooler yest so rob I'm hope your right aha

 

lol I hope so too

but I recall mine being randomly terrible after a short blast, and iv not had it since

Auto? Not mine!! Don't need an auto as don't have a girlfriend to hold hands with

Group buys for what? Lol

No, as I've said before.....the 1M does NOT have 2 oil coolers.

The oil cooler in the 1M is identical to the one in the 135i, same part number.

 

sorry thought yours was dct?

I don't group buy for any thing lol

My oil temps both in road use and on track didn't drop after fitting the Forge I/C.

And yes, I'm still contemplating either the Dinan or Evoluton Raceworks oil cooler kits.

It's a n54, didn't think they did n54 with DCT?

Tbf I would had a DCT if you could get one in n54 and there wasn't a manual to buy (I'm quite impatient)

I've only done one once and that was for a Quaife for my old 106. I'm never in the right place and right time and all that!!

Went to BMW today and ordered about 20 different part numbers! Guy wasn't particularly impressed! Think he shares my impatience lol

 

I have too much patients lol

Just wondering what everyone normally see's as oil temp on track days?

I've seen 130 deg on my on track but it was a hot summers days as well, with temp around 90F.

120-125 was the temp on track on a more normal summer day. I always do a cooling down half lap and drive around the paddock slowly and then get the bonnet up ASAP once stopped to let the hot air escape from under bonnet.

Sorry I forgot master geeram

Oil cooler on passenger side, auxilliary radiator (engine coolant) on drivers side. Same as provided on Z4 35is, 335is and as part of factory "performance power kit."

 

have you not got a intercooler dom? does the meth not help?

Yeah I have a forge cooler but the meth I mainly use for octane boost as my percentage of meth is greater than water,

An larger more efficient aftermarket item needs to be purchased.

A intercooler is for denser and colder air not oil so no way your oil will be cooler with a bigger intercooler I'm afraid

 

yes I'm well aware what an intercooler dose, hence why I added I doubt it lol

Possible oem couplings on the OEM cooler have proven resticitive so if the turbos are working harder as they cant flow as freely a new intercooler may marginally help!

 

the advan oil cooler kit looks like the best one imo

i nearly bought one when my oem one was leaking oil but delivery was going to take too long, i didn't have time to wait while mine leaked all over my drive lol, had to park on some cardboard

 

What's the £ ?

 

i think it worked out about £500 I'm not sure but i was emailing the guy about it last year
delivery time was going to be nearly 2 weeks so i had to go oem which i got next day lol

 

stage 2 with external thermostat is £800ish plus postage lol
