The engineers over at CSF know cooling. So when it comes to keeping your engine oil temps down as you push your E9X M3 hard on the street or track, a CSF Oil Cooler is the obvious choice. Engine oil temperatures are a big concern to anyone who tracks their vehicle or pushes it hard on hot days. High oil temperatures in modern cars will send you into "Limp Mode" in order to protect the engine but slows you down to a crawl and is overall an unpleasant experience. Old vehicles without these safeties built in can experience major engine damage if oil temperatures get too high. In any case, overheating engine oil is a bad thing, so why not do the most you can to keep them in check and don't let something like this spoil you fun or ruin your vehicle.
Whether you are looking to build a track car, weekend warrior, or just upgrading your restoration project, the CSF Race-Spec Oil Cooler is the best possible choice for your E9X M3.
Product Details
This co-developed BMW M3 oil cooling solution is the Ultimate In BMW performance cooling.

A unique industry-exclusive cast end tank design, along with the market's most massive/most efficient core makes our new oil cooler immediately in demand worldwide.
Design & Engineering
When designing this new cooler, CSF wanted to ensure the best possible performance while ensuring the cooler was as durable as possible. As you've seen, oil coolers and other heat exchangers can take quite a beating over time. CSF utilizes an extremely rugged and durable Bar/Plate design which can stand up to far more abuse. The CSF "Aero-Flow" Bar design reduces weight compared to other Bar/Plate designs while maintaining maximum strength and air-flow. These "Aero-Flow" bars improve heat dissipation with high density turbulated multi-louvered fins. Turbulation increases the turbulent flow through a tube, effectively increasing heat exchange rates and abilities.
