Product Description

The HEL Performance Oil Cooler Kit is designed to help maintain stable engine oil temperatures on BMW 2 Series models equipped with the N55 engine, including BMW F22/F23 M235i applications. Whether used on the road or pushed harder on track, controlling oil temperature is essential for consistent performance, lubrication and long-term engine protection.

Under sustained load, high oil temperatures can thin the oil, reduce pressure and increase the risk of engine wear. This uprated oil cooler kit helps reduce heat build-up by keeping oil within a more controlled temperature range, making it a valuable upgrade for fast road cars, tuned vehicles, high-mileage drivers and track day use.

The kit is available with multiple oil cooler core size options to suit different levels of demand. The 13-row and 16-row options are well suited to fast road or lightly tuned engines, the 19-row option provides a balanced setup for mixed road and track use, while the 25-row option offers maximum cooling efficiency for dedicated track or endurance-focused builds.

Each kit includes a HEL Performance oil cooler, braided hoses, billet adapter plate, fittings, mounting hardware and an optional thermostat depending on the selected specification. Built in the UK using high-quality components, it provides a complete plug-and-play oil cooling solution for compatible N55-powered BMW 2 Series applications.

Please note, the source information references 228i, but this should be checked before listing as N55 compatibility, as 228i models are not typically N55-powered.
