Product Description

The CSF Power Steering Cooler is a high-performance cooling upgrade for selected BMW E9X M3 and E8X/E9X models, designed to keep power steering fluid temperatures under control during fast road, track and high-load driving.

Overheating power steering fluid can lead to reduced steering performance, inconsistent feel and potential long-term system wear. The CSF cooler replaces the lower-efficiency OEM core with a CAB-brazed, high-efficiency plate-type design for improved cooling performance and durability.

Using CSF’s AC Condenser Technology, the cooler features a 1-row super-high-pressure 18mm wide 4-channel microtube with a dual-pass 6-row configuration, delivering an 83% increase in surface area compared with the OEM unit.

Lab tested to be approximately 40% more efficient than the factory cooler, this true drop-in upgrade is compatible with OEM oil-line connections, mounting brackets and the AC condenser, while its increased height allows compatibility with additional aftermarket cooling components positioned underneath.
