CSF Race-Spec Oil / DCT Cooler – BMW 335i / 335is (E9x, N54)

OVERVIEW

CSF's #8042 dual-pass cooler replaces the factory oil/transmission cooler on the N54-powered E9x 335i and 335is. It is built with CSF's AC condenser technology around a 1-row super-high-pressure 22mm wide 11-channel microtube, giving a dual-pass core with 11 cooling tubes against the OEM's 10-tube single-pass design.

The high-density multi-louvered fin adds 20% more surface area contact than the factory unit, and the cooler lab tests around 30% more efficient than OEM. It is a drop-in fit that accepts every OEM attaching component — oil-line connections, mounting brackets and shroud/ducting. On DCT cars it serves as the transmission cooler; on 6-speed manual cars the same unit is the engine oil cooler.
