Ah.  Well, then, NOW I see the problem!

 

At that point, go whole- hog, ditch the thermostat, and go fully electric.

You'll need to make a nipple to hook to the timing chain case, and then it's just plumbing.

And if you're intercooling, you're already an expert at that.

 

You CAN stuff the oil cooler somewhere else, if you need. 

My race car has it behind the passenger's headlight.  It's not too hard

to get airflow to it, there, if you duct it so the wheel can't throw crap into it.

There's positive pressure in the nose, and negative in the wheel well.

 

The intercooler's tougher.

Yes im thinking of relocating the oil cooler to passenger side but in my case (RHD car), passenger side is driver side American. That's where the pod filter is going to be too. Thanks at least I know I'm in a right track.

Sounds like time to put on some big fenders so you can mount your water radiator and oil cooler in the rear fenders.  You need to move some weigh back there anyway.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
