The E70 X5M is an incredible SUV right from the factory, but due to strict emissions and fuel requirements, the cooling system is way over-taxed. By running at a ludicrous 220 degrees, the car is more efficient as the expense of increased wear. To combat that, I have purchased five different upgrades to allow the cooling system to function at a much more reasonable temperature: sport oil cooler valve, lower temp thermostat, coolant additive, lower pressure radiator cap, and increasing engine bay airflow.

Today in part 1, we install the N63Intake sport oil cooler valve. The X5M already has an adequate oil cooler, but the factory thermostat spring causes it to open around 100 degrees Celsius. This modified valve will open at a lower temperature to allow the oil cooler to start working sooner. This will still allow the engine to warm up properly but maintain the engine oil at a much safer temperature. Install is shockingly easy, only adding a few minutes to a standard oil change.
