The CSF 8240 is a race-spec dual-pass oil cooler for BMW S54 engine swaps into the E36 chassis. It uses a turbulated heavy-duty bar-and-plate design with 8 rows of cooling and a high-density multi-louvered fin pitch, in a motorsport silver finish. The right side is shortened to clear the A/C lines in their original routing, so it works on cars that retain air conditioning. It accepts the factory S54 OEM oil-line connections, and CSF recommends the Europe-spec E36 M3 oil cooler lines (BMW part 17212227235).
