Sure, here you go:
First with out oil cooler second with oil cooler. You can tell by the lines near the oil filter housing. |
Where are those lines going? Are they going to the driver's side?
I'd always assumed the oil cooler was behind the side vent on the passenger side of the front bumper. There is definitely a heat exchanger in that location, though I suppose it could be for the power steering fluid or the DCT.
The M3 has a heat exchanger there for the power steering, and the oil cooler is a long, slender heat exchanger that sits in front of the radiator across the front of the car.
