Installed oil cooler and made the hoses. Routed lines. Waiting on two 90° banjo fittings to finish the install to the oil filter housing.

Gawd it's clean in there. You can have chicken dinner served without plates and not be sick after.

It became too cold to start installing the door seals. Although, maybe if I had a tendency to dress for the weather, I wouldn't have been in shorts and a tee shirt

I was researching oil coolers. Based on size, volume and number of rows etc...the oem m3 cooler would only be useful in a sub 100hp application.
The oem m3 adds .38L of volume. Only has two rows and makes only one pass. It doesn't seem like a very effective heat exchanger. Max btu exchange would be 9,000-14,000 per hour.
I went with a Setrab 16x3x2. It has ten rows and makes multiple passes. Rated for 230-310hp. And exchanges 42,000-60,000btu per hour. Its capacity is just under and quart. Can't remember exact number right now.

Purchased CPO on 12/23/2006 with 28,090 miles
Replaced the fuel pump and seal with a Siemens/VDO unit. Luckily it died in a spot where I could leave the car for the weekend, ordered a new pump from Bavarian Auto Sport on Thursday night and had it today. Fuel filter is probably due as well.
