Found this interesting comment by MIke Miller, BMW guru over at BMWCCA, suggesting the issue isn't fully resolved:

The larger issue is, even with an oil cooler this engine runs inordinately high oil temperature. I don't think there is going to be a viable factory fix for this. I think any larger oil coolers we see in the future will be an aftermarket part, and the problem there is where to put it. Short of a NACA duct in the hood or some sort of Porsche-type design in the front wheel housings, I don't see where a larger oil cooler will fit.

Of course space will be an even bigger issue on the 1 series than the 335i he's talking about....
