External oil cooler
Hi I am currently installing a thermostatically controlled external oil cooler on a R56. I have been searching the internet and I have not found which oil passage is supply and return for the stock oil cooler. It doesn't matter without a thermostat, but with one it does. I will post the answer when I find out the old fashioned way.

Cooler is going behind and above the bumper. It is a HEL kit. The thermostat is for the oil. The oil does not flow thru the cooler until it has reached operating temp. If you are not using a thermostat, the direction of flow doesn't matter unless it is labeled on the cooler. The sneed for speed cooler just looked so cheap.
