Now it will be just passed 1/2 way and they won't think twice about it.

2. All Sport Package cars will now have the oil cooler so it shouldn't matter as the car shouldn't get up to the 300 degree mark and go into limp mode during hard driving anyway.

Serves a couple of other purposes also:

3. Drive 335i owners crazy.

4. Gives 328i owners a nice oil temp guage to look at. I think its strange that they are also adding the extra oil cooler to the 328i with sport/step starting with March production. Guess we just get an extra oil cooler.
