Description
BMW M drivers push their vehicles to the limit—and the BMW F87 M2 (N55) is no exception. While highly capable on both street and track, the factory oil cooling system becomes a critical weak point under extreme driving conditions. Extensive track testing has shown OEM oil temperatures climbing to 275–280°F, triggering limp mode and reducing performance.
The CSF Race-Spec Oil Cooler for the BMW F87 M2 (N55) is engineered to eliminate this issue. Utilizing CSF’s advanced AC Condenser Technology, this system delivers a significant reduction in oil temperatures while maintaining a true plug-and-play, drop-in installation.
During real-world track testing in 103°F ambient conditions (115°F heat index), the CSF oil cooler consistently maintained oil temperatures at a maximum of 240°F, well below the critical threshold—without any vehicle modifications.
Innovative Dual-Core, In-Series Design
This system features a 2-core, in-series oil cooling layout:
-
Front full-size core with 17 cooling tubes (OEM uses only 15)
-
Secondary backside cooler with an additional 6 rows of cooling
Combined, this design significantly increases heat rejection and raises total system oil capacity by 0.5 quarts (0.47 liters), further improving thermal stability during sustained high-load driving.
Manufactured with a 1-row super-high-pressure 26mm multi-channel microtube, paired with a high-density multi-louvered fin design, the CSF cooler maximizes surface area and airflow efficiency—delivering unmatched cooling performance for the N55 engine.
True Plug-and-Play OEM Fitment
This is the world’s first and only true plug-and-play upgraded oil cooler for the BMW F87 M2 (N55). It accepts all OEM oil lines, mounting brackets, and factory shrouding/ducting, requiring no cutting, drilling, or fabrication.
