I haven't done a ton of research, but I believe the oil cooler came stock on a 335i coupe, but not the sedan. So if this is true, then I wouldn't have it.

Is this something that I can remedy? i.e. have one installed?

I test drove one too & really beat the crap out of it. I was surprised how fast it spools up. Very nice indeed..

I don't know guys. The only one bad thing about it is that it doesn't have intercoolers to keep the turbos cool and the car does fluctuate alot in temp. A 335i at the track over heated and had some issues. I guess we will just have to wait and see what happend.

Before March production the sedan and coupe got them if your car came with a manual and had sport package. Otherwise if you had gotten steptronic then you did not get the oil cooler.

Since March production, BMW has put oil coolers in all the cars with sport packages regardless of tranny.

Some have been able to complain to their dealers in a free retro fit for it. Just show them a car on the lot with an oil cooler and tell them that you dont have one. Should be able to see it if you look in your wheel well on the passenger side, facing the front.

Yeah definitely a fun car. I just went in and test drove one. Sounds surprisingly good for a stock BMW too, compared to my friends M5 at least. The clutch was a bit hard getting used to, coming from a 6speed X3, which has a very easy clutch. But the car definitely pulls.

Definitely. I'd hold out for the M3 if I was you, but its still a sick car.
