Are you struggling to keep your E36 M3 engine oil temperatures under control on track? Or perhaps your factory E36 M3 engine oil cooler is broken, and the £411.47+ VAT does not represent good value for such an old, low performance and unreliable design. The CSF E36 M3 Euro-Spec Engine Oil Cooler is for you!
For some time, E36 M3 owners have been using the CSF All-aluminium engine water radiator, part number 3054 but have always had to have engine oil cooling performance hindered with a factory oil cooler, today that ends.
We’re pleased to announce the CSF E36 M3 Euro-Spec Engine Oil Cooler is now available in our store. Details below:
Design a replacement unit that would fit exactly like the factory unit but perform even better.
CSF vs OEM
CSF-8301

The original oil cooler used Tube and Fin construction. While this is acceptable for cooling performance, it is not a very robust design. CSF chose to go with a Bar and Plate construction to improve durability. While there is plenty of ground clearance, the cooler is low enough to see some potential abuse on the track. CSF wanted to offer that extra durability of a Bar and Plate cooler for track enthusiasts and those running their car on the lower side.

OEM tube and fin core
The CSF Oil Cooler was designed to be a 1 to 1 replacement for the OEM unit in terms of fitment. This means it uses the same OE mounting points, hardware, and lines. For a EU E36 M3. For customer with E36 models that were not equipped with the oil cooler from the factory can use the the OE brackets which can attach to an OEM spec Radiator or the CSF #3054.
