There’s no denying that M cars are something special. BMW has a knack for elevating the relatively pedestrian models into something truly exciting without sacrificing their commitment to luxury. In the case of the G8X, BMW truly flexed their engineering muscles to squeeze every drop of performance from its 3 and 4-series platform. The base flavor of this freshly squeezed performance juice is proper oil temperature management. The catch is that the flimsy OEM oil cooler is precariously placed, putting this temperature management at risk. Luckily, our engineers have been hard at work revamping the G8X’s oil cooler, and we’re stoked to show it off.

No perfect performance happens on a whim. Well, maybe sometimes dumb luck takes the reigns, but typically the years of honing your skills and abilities guide you through. The same could be said about BMW and its performance division. These Bavarians are not known for "wingin' it" and for the last 35 years and counting, they've been tirelessly perfecting every M3 and M4 that rolls off the assembly line.

Whether you're trudging through your daily commute or conquering the track, maintaining proper oil temperatures is vital for both the performance and longevity of your G8X M3 or M4. These M's make driving a much more special experience, but high temperatures or a leaky cooler can knock them down a few pegs.

BMW's unrelenting efficiency is both a blessing and a curse, specifically when it comes to its ability to package components in and around the engine bay neatly. On the one hand, it makes for a neatly arranged engine bay laid out for optimal performance. Still, it also means some essential components are either hard to reach or mounted in a precarious position, like the oil cooler, for example.
