Hey guys I know this may be a dumb question but I recently purchased a f36 435i and noticed somthing odd. On the front bumper where the fog flights are placed has a open plastic piece that allows air to flow to the coolers from outside. I noticed that on mine the driver side is caped shut and the passenger side is open (cooler visible).

At this point I think Bmw ditched one of the coolers previously available on all 435i models up to 2015 with out fog lights. What do you guy think is going on here?

Totally normal since 2012.

For the US market, only one side is "open" as you found out.

The difference now is that you have fog lights....

So what happened to the cooler? is it relocated or they took it out completely?
I don't want my car to lack more performance than it already does.

I have one cooler in the hottest country in world, still drives great. you wouldn't need it unless you track it every week.

Cooler confirmed.

Isn't it package dependent? i.e. if you got m sport package and m sport brakes you have the additional cooler?

I confirmed that my wife's F30 335 got to 300F oil temps without the additional cooler at buttonwillow

This is dependent on the package you choose. You get the Aux oil cooler and the increased speed limit to 155.

You need the M Sport with the M brakes and high performance summer tires.

I have non-M sport on a 3:40 and it has two coolers

Passenger side is an engine oil cooler; driver's side is/was an auxiliary radiator. I noticed the loss of the auxiliary radiator and the addition of the Fog Lights when our 2015 435xi GC was replaced with a 2016. I was concerned at first, but it really is not an issue unless you plan to track your car. As well if the M Performance Package is ordered here in Canada, the Fog Lights are deleted and the auxiliary radiator is included.

Don't think you need M-Brakes. I have the extra cooler with M-sport. The fog lights delete is for extra brake cooling if not just aesthetic.

I'm thinking they must have changed it for the new engine
