I ran a decoder on the car I bought recently and these were the options - basically everything except nav, comfort access, and the oil cooler?

Can anyone help explain WHY it didn't come with the oil cooler if it has the sport package, and high speed sync?

Ow, that sucks!

Quick question, if you happen to know -

If I order a CSL trunk, for an LCI car and purchase the lights, will it fit? Some people say yes, some say no.

The trunk and lights will fit but I don't know about the wiring. Might be plug and play might not. Try doing a search I remember seeing something about it a couple years ago.

switch over to oil cooler was build 03/07 if I recall. I think there used to be a retrofit kit available in the US. My car was 04/07 build so I managed to get the cooler and a few other changes that happened by that time.

Mine is a late 06 build and has an oil cooler.

I have a 06/2009 build E90 335xi with sports package and no oil cooler. :/

xDrives had to have sports package PLUS 18" wheel option to have oil cooler

Afaik speed rated tires on 18's and sport package were all you needed for the oil cooler, but you needed both. I also heard 6mt cars had it from the beginning with those options and later 2007 autos then got it as well, due mostly to part availability.

Did you buy it used? 06 to early 07 builds did not come out of the factory with an oil cooler. HOWEVER it was a performance option at the time. After they realized they made a crucial mistake the oil cooler became standard mid/late 07 builds.

[theweebabySeamus]

I did buy it used.

yeah since you have a late 06 with oil cooler most likely the previous owner purchased the performance option or just installed the oil cooler only.

All coupes with sport package came with oil cooler. All sedans with sport package did not on early 07's

Mine is 01/07 sedan with the sport package and 6mt has an oil cooler
