The Mishimoto BMW S54 Oil Cooler Kit is engineered to enhance oil cooling performance for the E46 M3, keeping the legendary S54 engine running at optimal temperatures during spirited driving and track sessions. Featuring an increased core size for improved heat dissipation, this direct-fit upgrade helps prevent overheating and maintains consistent oil temperatures, ensuring maximum reliability and performance for your E46 M3.

The S54 is an incredible feat of engineering. Smooth power delivery, individual throttle bodies, and an 8,000 rpm redline make for an unforgettable driving experience. As with any BMW, maintaining optimal oil temperatures is key to extending the life of your vehicle and ensuring that you’re getting an unparalleled driving experience. As many of these vehicles see frequent track time, the team at Mishimoto decided to develop a performance S54 oil cooler kit that would provide improved durability and deliver the power needed for track driving. The result: an extremely efficient core with a proven 30°F (16.7°C) drop in oil temperature. With an increase in core thickness of 110%, this S54 oil cooler kit raises your oil capacity by 0.44 qt. The oil cooler end tanks, cast from a single piece of aluminium and TIG-welded to the core, have been designed for maximum reliability, giving you the confidence you need to push your E46 M3 to the limits.

This oil cooler kit is designed as a complete bolt-in fit, requiring no modification to work with the stock radiator or the Mishimoto BMW E46 Performance Aluminium Radiator. To ensure a complete direct-fit, Mishimoto engineers have designed a fully CNC-machined 6061 aluminium and 303 stainless steel BMW E46 Oil Line Fitting Kit, which makes the removal of the stock hard lines and installation of stainless steel braided lines a simple task.

This kit includes pre-assembled stainless steel lines with -10AN fittings to help direct the oil to and from the cooler, as well as a black Mishimoto Oil Line Stay to keep your lines from rubbing. As with all our products, the Mishimoto E46 M3 Oil Cooler Kit includes the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.Please note: Mishimoto fully inspects and cleans all products prior to packaging. However, it is recommended that customers flush the oil cooler with one quart of clean oil prior to installation to remove any debris accumulated during shipping. Please feel free to contact us at [email protected] if you have any questions.

PREPREG is a common term for a reinforcing fabric such carbon which has been pre-impregnated with a resin system. This resin system (typically epoxy) already includes the proper curing agent. As a result, the prepreg is ready to be laid into the mold without the addition of any more resin. In order for the laminate to cure, an autoclave production process is used, a combination of high pressure and heat.

  • Maximum strength and performance characterictics. In a hand layup production process, it is difficult to achieve 50% fabric and 50% resin content.  Typical hand laminates, even when vacuum bagged, end up with a significant amount of excess resin. Excess resin increases brittleness and reduces overall strength properties. On the other hand, most prepregs contain around 35% resin. This is ideal for maximum cured properties and generally impossible to achieve in normal hand lamination.
  • Uniformity and repeatability. The prepreg is of uniform thickness and each part coming out of the mold may theoretically be the same. Vacuum bagging technology may have some errors in processing, but prepreg ensures production consistency.
  • Reduce curing time. After the thermal curing cycle, no need to wait for the standard 48 hours can be fully cured.
  • Aesthetics. Although prepreg processing still requires mold preparation and demoulding, prepreg processing eliminates air bubbles, makes it easier to obtain a smooth, glossy surface as well as eliminates any seaming lines.
