BMW E92 335i n54 - track car transform! pt.1

This is to kick off my series of vids on taking this bone stock e92 335i and taking it to the next level.

I have a 2008 e90 n54 that i use for HPDE. I have two oil coolers. Keeps my oil temps on the track at around 120 degrees F above ambient temperature which keeps me under 230 degrees even on the hottest summer HPDE days

Great! I will try first with one cooler and see where that will get me. Is there a kit to install the second one on the drivers side ?

[@bennyang8049]

@@CarPlebs i removed the fog lights on both sides. I routed the oil cooler lines down the driver side first then routed another hose to the passenger side next through the crash structure/bumper (as to not melt the plastic bumper) then back to the oil filter housing. I replaced the stock bmw oil cooler plate with the stock thermostat with an aftermarket plate that allows continuous flow to the air cooler.

A Setrab works well. PPK2 has a pony radiator in the driver's side.

Love the e92 platform. Looking forward to seeing the build. Just picked up a 996 myself and saw you had both that and a 997. What do you think of the 997 vs 996?

Thanks! Well I am absolutely in love the 996, I have one built as a track car, and last year I traded my 996 c2 for a 996 turbo slick top x50, so that should tell you. IMO the most raw feeling modern 911.
