Product details
OVERVIEW
CSF’s Race-Spec Dual-Pass DCT Cooler is the first true plug-and-play upgraded DCT oil cooler built for the BMW N55 engine in the F87 M2. It borrows CSF’s AC condenser technology, using a 1-row super-high-pressure 26mm multi-channel microtube in place of the OEM tube-and-fin design, so oil sees far more surface area on its way through the core.
Where the factory cooler runs a single pass with a return pipe over six cooling tubes, the CSF unit is a dual-pass core with ten cooling tubes and a high-density multi-louvered fin. CSF’s lab testing puts it at roughly 30% more efficient than the OEM cooler. It is a drop-in fit that accepts every attaching OEM component — oil-line connections, mounting brackets and the shroud/ducting all carry over.
