the GTR is heavy.... so hard to consider but it's just so damn fast it's hard not to consider as well lol

I only quickly glanced but I don't think I have the Oil cooler... that explains a lot...

wtf..? 08+ 335i had them...why did the 09 z4 not..?

I'll check on the 11 z4. if it doesn't have it I'm taking it in and complaining and telling them about the service bulletin and having it installed

Yeah I heard only some 09 models had them, like the ones with 6 speed manuals. I wonder if they thought people that drive stick shift, they are prone to be driven harder? If you are looking at the car from front it should be on the left. Thanks tranquility! You will see it right away. I think 2010 and on they have them. Dinan makes them for cars without it.

The oil cooler is very visible in the lower right (passenger side) bumper grill here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/capfacs...7627209195827/ Yes, we were having some fun on the Snake.

we also have an oil cooler on our 2010 - but now I need an upgraded oil cooler??? Dinan's is very pricey!!!

335i are different than Z4 35i

I don't have an oil cooler :/




Btw my z4 is now stock stock

Took out the VSM/rear camera, SmartTop, and Reflectors

Here are a couple of random pics i snapped:






BY THE WAY!

I have the Deep Sea Blue Reflectors for sale!
$75 retail, $50 shipped? Let me know
Install took us about 10 minutes on the lift
You don't need to put it on the lift, they did this so they didn't have to bend down/sit on their knees lol
