[QUOTE="wingzee, post: 695096, member: 22730"] Terry, so far there are only benefits to this instead of disadvantages. - Zero maintenance as compared to original heat exchanger. Should last the vehicle's lifetime since it's air-cooled - Original heat exchanger tend to fail (blocked) after certain milleage/number of years - Not connected to radiator hence zero risk of failure/blockage where coolant from radiator leaks to GB causing damage as what rwd has explained - Helps to cool and maintain GB temperature more efficiently as compared to the aging original heat exchanger - Proven to be effective and low maintenance, used by the E36 and E39 (only difference is E39's one is much bigger) Would highly recommend this mod as it has helps to reduce my ex-E46 GB temperature significantly. My old heat exchanger is not working at its optimal due to its age (probably blocked) and GB temp is above the normal level which in return causes jerks after drives. This mod has eliminated the jerks totally and helps in reducing the GB temperature. A RM350 mod that eliminates the risk of GB failure due to overheating/coolant leak to GB, which requires full overhaul of GB, which cost minimum RM4.5k. It's a no brainer and money worth spending IMO. Do refer to my old post below. [/QUOTE]
