oil cooler question

KKAGDESIGNS · 12-29-2014, 12:50 PM

I have a 2007 328xi e90 does this model usually come with an oilcooler or is it and option or retrofitted.

Not usually standard on a 328, but it can be added!

Are you sure you are aren't seeing the ac condenser, take a picture under the hood we can confirm

The oil cooler in the E90 (335i anyway) is mounted in front of the front passenger wheel well. If you have it you will see louvers there. Also, if you have one then you should see two hoses coming out of your oil filter housing to a cooler.

My guess is you are looking at something else.

Take a picture of the Oil Filter Housing. That will also tell us if you have a cooler.

That's probably the transmission fluid cooler integrated with the radiator. Or, as previously stated a cooler/condenser for the air conditioning system.

American N52 based sedans are referred to as hot climate cars. They received larger radiators, and fans compared to european (cool climate) but no heat exchangers.

X3s & X5 N52s (Im not sure about the 5 series) received an integrated heat exchanger. European versions get heat exchangers across the fleet.

Why do you need an oil cooler?

LOL! Classic!

That is a link to a picture on your computer. We cant see that. You need to upload the picture to the internet first and then link to that. Try photo bucket. Google it.
