So after checking couple X5 M50i cars i find out this BS is real, we frying our cars from factory on photo you can see that oil coolers are covered with some plastic… and my friend who ordered same car same specs one side is open like it should be and other is covered … i just have feelings thats they just forgot to knock that plastic out… here is photos same M50i at the dealership

I don't believe there is a cooler behind the drivers side which is why they have it covered

Yes but I don't have cooler even from passenger side, I'm not really worrying about that because its lease car but still….

I retract my previous statement. I paid close attention when starting my car this morning, which was parked overnight in underground parking. It was not in the middle of the gauge. But I must admit, it seems to reach temperature rather quickly.
