Mosselman: Precision Upgrades for BMW Performance Builds

3rd Nov 2025

When your BMW’s build is serious about performance, using components that support reliability under stress is vital. Mosselman offers a focused line of upgrades—especially for turbo and high-output BMW platforms—that address real weak points and help maintain strength under load.

 What Mosselman Offers

Here are some genuine Mosselman products:

  • Oil Thermostats for N54/N55/S55 Engines
    Mosselman offers oil thermostats that open at 85°C instead of the stock ~105°C, helping reduce oil temperature by about 20°C on the N55 and S55 engines. 

  • Oil Cooler Kits
    For certain BMW E-series (e.g., E90/E92/E93 335i) and 1M/135i platforms, Mosselman provides single and twin oil cooler kits to improve oil thermal capacity and help high performance setups. 

  • Crank Hub Upgrade for S55 Engines
    They also list a crank hub upgrade for the S55 engine (used in M2 Competition, M3/M4) — a component aimed at robustness in high-load conditions. 


 Why These Upgrades Matter

  • Lower Operating Temperature = Better Reliability
    By reducing oil temperature by around 20 °C through thermostats and cooler kits, you reduce risk of heat-related degradation and maintain performance under hard use. 

  • Components Built for Specific Engines
    Mosselman lists parts by engine code (N54, N55, S55) and platform (e.g., BMW M2 Competition, M3/M4), which ensures compatibility and fitment confidence. 

  • Supporting the Build, Not Just Cosmetic
    These aren’t just aesthetic upgrades—they address foundational performance concerns (oil temps, crank hub strength) which matter when you push things.


 Things to Consider

  • Check Compatibility Carefully
    Since Mosselman parts are engine-specific (N54, N55, S55 etc), make sure your chassis/year/engine match the listed application. 

  • Installation Requirements
    Some parts (thermostats, oil cooler kits) may require some moderate mechanical skill and attention to sealing/couplers.

  • Integration with Other Upgrades
    If you’re building high output, pairing these reliability upgrades with other flow/cooling/tuning mods can make the most sense.
