Interesting. I can see maybe getting one if you were tracking the M5 in 120 degrees for 12 hours a day. I think the brakes would melt before the engine started to overheat though. This was an issue on the E60 M5 and high capacity oil cooler was very useful. The F10 M5 has like 13 coolers, I don't recall anyone ever complaining about overheating.

The oil cooler in my M6 is actually facing the road and has cold air ducted to it . This would 100% not be an upgrade for the S63 TU .

My car heats up when I drive it too hard and then going to the "cool down mode"

Something's wrong then , I ran my M6 CP hard on the track for 20 minute sessions in 95 degree heat tuned and did not have oil temp issues .

Its actually normal im sure of it, since the same thing is happening when we really push my friend's GTR..
The m4 though does not have this problem no matter how hard we have been pushing. It definitely runs cooler than the M5.
