The do88 Oil cooler for the BMW M2 Competition, M3 and M4 F8X is designed as a direct replacement for the original engine oil cooler. The original oil cooler features a tube-and-fin core and is located beneath the central cooling module, making it susceptible to damage from splashing dirt or stone chips.
This do88 Oil cooler was developed using a detailed 3D scan of the available mounting space. The cooler uses a bar-and-plate core which increases both the cooling capacity and the structural strength. The design offers a larger cooling surface and a significantly larger core volume compared to the original oil cooler.
