TLDR:
Another N55 rod bearing case, is there anything else I should do while I’m at it??

Does the N55 M2 Oil cooler fit on F36 435i?

I already purchased a replacement low mileage EWG N55 and will be getting the swap done over the course of the next 2 weeks..

So while I’m at it ive opted to replace/add the following:
- New rod bearings on replacement motor
- N55 sump buffle
- Fresh gaskets eveything
- New Oil Pan
- New Hoses
- Front & rear diff service
- Belt & Pulley + deflector
- OEM adaptive front struts
- OEM top hats
- OEM front upper control arms

Also ordered the following as a splurge for the “rebuild”:
- Maxton Design new rear Diffuser
- OEM Carbon fiber exhaust tips for MPE
- OEM F36 LCI Blackline Euro-Spec Taillights retro-kit

I think this should spice the backend pretty nicely while keeping it OEM+

My mechanic has asked me to try and source a used Oil Cooler, the one that’s located on the passenger side behind bumper to try and save some costs…

QUESTION

I found a used CSF F87 M2 Race Oil cooler locally but not sure if it will fit on the F36 as a direct replacement as it does on the F87?

I’ve emailed CSF and still waiting on their response.

Hopefully the swap goes well and nothing else needs to be “replaced”

Do you remember which bearing? No 2 or 6?
