I have an '07 BMW 335i, Premium Package, Sport Package, 18" wheels... What is the quickest way to find out if I have the oil cooler? I could look, but I have no idea what I am looking for. I am not very mechanically inclined.

I have contemplating the Dinan reflash, but I want to make sure I can keep the warranty, so I need the oil cooler.

Thanks.

You should, but to be certain, approach the car from the front and look inside the front bumper vent - passenger side:

What does it look like? I have read that it looks like a small radiator? This true?

Sorry I am an idiot. lol

Also, is the factory oil cooler sufficient with the Dinan reflash, or is the Dinan oil cooler that much better?

Yep. Small radiator. Just look through the bumper vent. As for the Dinan cooler/Dinan flash, I'll let a current 335 owner chime in - mine was sold last May.

Look inside your front wheel well, you will see either a spot where a cooler can go or a small grate. Having the oil cooler won't keep your BMW warranty, that will be voided, Dinan will pick up warranty where they leave off.
