The VA Motorsports engine oil cooler for the S58-powered G87 M2, G80 and G81 M3, and G82 and G83 M4 is built for those who know heat is the enemy of performance. It replaces the stock setup with a unit that’s simply more capable—especially when the revs stay high and the throttle stays open.
What makes it tick? A 30-percent increase in core volume. That’s a big jump. It means more capacity to move oil, more surface area to shed heat, and more time spent in the safe zone—even during long stints on track or in traffic on a hot day. The factory cooler does fine when you’re cruising. But once you start asking more from the car, that headroom disappears fast.
And while it’s all business under the skin, the construction backs it up. TIG-welded end tanks keep things sealed and strong. The dense fin design improves thermal efficiency without choking flow. Fitment is straightforward—bolts up using stock mounts and lines, so there’s no guesswork. Just remove, replace, and go.
There’s more peace of mind baked in with the integrated steel mesh guard. It keeps the core protected from road junk without disrupting airflow. Stones, rubber, or stray debris won’t be the end of your cooling system anymore. It’s one of those details that quietly does its job until the day you’re glad it’s there.
Paired with upgraded charge-air or auxiliary cooling, this oil cooler really rounds out a reliable setup. But even on its own, it adds something you can feel—an engine that keeps its edge, pull after pull, without falling off as temps climb.
It’s not flashy. But it works. And for anyone who drives hard and doesn’t want to worry about heat soaking the moment things get exciting, that’s exactly what matters.
