Anyone know where to get an oil cooler for my '88 325i? The euro car parts one is over 200 quid, so wondered if there's a cheaper alternative.

With modern oils, I wouldn't worry about removing it and reverting to the same set up as the 320.

Exactly what Ive done with the 2.5 in my touring. The oil cooler was being used and I didnt want to buy another.

The engine runs no different from when it was in my Sport.
