Still Learning My M3

Nice Rumble · 09-01-2014, 11:21 AM

Only had my M3 about 4 weeks and am still trying to learn about it. The radiator in this air inlet is it an oil cooler?

The other inlet's function is what?

And what is this plastic probe/sensor for?

1- The little radiator (left) is your DCT cooler .
2- The plastic sensor (antenna) is for reading the outside temps.
Hope this will help you with learning !

I dont have a DCT, yet have the left radiator. You sure this isn't an oil cooler?

I know that the DCT has also a radiator ,so it should be the oil cooler !

The "other inlet" (i.e. on the driver side) is one of 3 air inlets to the engine air filter compartment. The other two are:
1. through center grill
2. through the driver side hood vent
