CSF Engine Oil Cooler - BMW E36 Euro-Spec (inc M3)

The E36 was the least loved of the BMW 3-Series chassis for a long time. Situated between two of the two most beloved 3-series chassis (the E30 and E46), the E36 was largely ignored by collectors and enthusiasts for years. That has changed over the last several years as BMW fans have started restoring and upgrading these 90’s classics. As they’ve grown in popularity, demand for E36 parts has grown as well. CSF teamed up with BimmerWorld to bring you the new Euro Spec Oil Cooler.

Installation Options

While the oil cooler is a bolt on upgrade for the Z3M and Euro Spec M3, most owners will need some extra bits to install an oil cooler. There are a few different options when it comes to adding the oil cooler to your E36.
