You can use any oil cooler. In the UK you may need a thermostat or at least make use of the factory heat exhanger or you may have issues getting the box up to temp. You will need to make custom lines to suit your chassis and cooler location. I ordered 5m of hose and it was just about long enough from memory. There are plenty of adapaters out there. I had these modified to suit and cost about $300aud from memory. Thats just the black right angle bits in the in box. However there are plenty of options in UK and Europe. Just need to do some googling. Make sure you go for 8hp45 specific ones, the other 8hp use different cooler ports.
Thanks for the speedy response! With that in mind I think it’ll be faster for me to get some of the original ZF8HP45 lines and run them through the standard transmission oil cooler via a join until we have time to get a thermostat and do the aftermarket cooler correctly since fitting the aftermarket cooler sounds like it’ll be more of a hindrance if we don’t have a thermostat.

No, definitely not. There are 2 partiuclarly weak clutches in the 8hp45. Due to the packaging on those small clutches the friction surface area is quite small. However BMW 8hp45 TCU is very good at masking torque reductions, which gives it the feel of a higher power handling. Im personally not a fan of the 8hp45 after doing around 100 8hp swaps now.

Just buy the M3 FCAB inserts and the insert tool for $125. You won’t have to align it after. The true M3 arms change the dimensions and symmetry. That is why your alignment is off. You could try to have someone align it to M3 specs first before going back to normal control arms with M3 inserts.
