VPD Oil Cooler Group Buy (http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4766545#post4766545) ///MPwr 08-17-2005, 11:03 PM Sweet, I was waiting for this GB :buttrock . I'm going to think about this one as I narrowly missed out on the last GB on these oil coolers. They fit out of the way nicely and will help at the track. What are the costs for the thermostat and the Earl's lines if somebody wanted to add them on? Not to hijack this thread but if a thermostat is equiped to turn on the cooler at a set temp (say 185), how difficult would it be to wire in an dash led to note the cooler turning on. I have an oil temp gauge with LeatherZ distribution block but am not sure how I would go about wiring the led. :help DakarDave 08-17-2005, 11:19 PM Cool, thanks for setting this up Jim... :buttrock Jim M3 08-19-2005, 08:23 AM Sweet, I was waiting for this GB :buttrock .

This is the set up I have on my car and I paid more than that for mine. We need 3 more for the group buy jump in!! ///MPwr 08-20-2005, 11:59 AM Is there anyone else interested in the VPD Oil Cooler?? Hollywood Hamilton 08-20-2005, 12:42 PM Will this work on a M42? Jim M3 08-20-2005, 08:49 PM I will check with Fife Hollywood Hamilton 08-21-2005, 12:26 AM Thanks Jim! Jim M3 08-22-2005, 03:33 PM Unfortunately they don't work with the 318i. There are some fairly complex modifications that need to be made in order for them to work. Hollywood Hamilton 08-24-2005, 01:16 AM Damn and I wanted one really bad :( Oh well...How complex are we talking? jmargo 08-24-2005, 11:41 AM Damn and I wanted one really bad :( Oh well...How complex are we talking? Its not that complex of a mod.....just pull out the M42 and drop in a S52 and the oil cooler will fit just fine. ;) ///MPwr 08-24-2005, 12:14 PM :lol :lol :lol Hollywood Hamilton 08-24-2005, 09:13 PM Its not that complex of a mod.....just pull out the M42 and drop in a S52 and the oil cooler will fit just fine. ;) Constantly the joker, J...
