Description
The Mishimoto Performance Oil Cooler (MMOC-E60-06) is a direct-fit replacement engine oil cooler engineered specifically for the S85-powered BMW M5 and M6, built to solve the leaks and cooling shortfalls that plague the factory unit on these V10-powered chassis. Where the OEM cooler is prone to failed O-rings, cracked weld points, and road-debris damage from its front-mounted position, this Mishimoto oil cooler uses a robust bar-and-plate core to reject more heat while standing up to the punishment of spirited driving.
Mishimoto’s engineering team redesigned the core’s fin geometry to deliver a 41-percent increase in external fin surface area and a 30-percent increase in internal fin surface area, combined with a 40.3-percent increase in overall core volume, so oil temperatures are brought down faster and held lower during hard driving. CNC-machined inlet and outlet ports mate perfectly with the factory oil cooler lines, and new OEM O-rings are included for a clean, leak-free installation. A silver powder-coated finish rounds out the build for long-term corrosion resistance, and this Mishimoto oil cooler kit is backed by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.
Vehicle Applications
This Mishimoto oil cooler is a direct-fit upgrade for the 2006-2010 BMW M5, built on the E60 chassis, and the 2006-2010 BMW M6, built on the E63 and E64 chassis, both fitted with the naturally aspirated S85 V10 engine. Because it is designed as a bolt-in replacement for the factory unit, no aftermarket lines or fittings are needed beyond the included hardware, though installation does require minor trimming of the plastic OEM oil cooler shrouding.
