The CSF 8103 is a race-spec dual-pass DCT transmission oil cooler for the 2016-2018 BMW F87 M2 with the N55 turbocharged 3.0L inline-6 and the DCT dual-clutch transmission. It uses a 1-row super-high-pressure 26mm multi-channel microtube core in a dual-pass high-performance configuration with 10 cooling tubes, versus the OEM single-pass 6-tube design, and a high-density multi-louvered fin design. Lab testing shows it runs about 30 percent more efficiently than the OEM cooler. It is a drop-in fit that accepts all original oil-line connections, mounting brackets, and shroud and ducting.
