CSF ZF8 Transmission Oil Cooler with Rock Guard for BMW G80 M3, G82 M4, G83 M4, G81 M3 Touring, G87 M2
Looking for the ultimate BMW G8X transmission cooler upgrade for fast road and track use? The CSF ZF8 Transmission Oil Cooler with Rock Guard is the go-to cooling solution for BMW G80 M3, G82 M4, G83 M4, G81 M3 Touring and G87 M2 owners who demand consistent performance, lower transmission temperatures and reliable protection. This is a true drop-in, plug-and-play replacement that dramatically improves transmission cooling compared to the OEM cooler on tuned and hard-driven cars.
On modified vehicles and cars that see heavy track or competition use, the factory transmission cooler can struggle. High transmission oil temperatures hurt shift quality and can lead to sluggish shifts and long-term wear. The CSF dual-core design significantly increases cooling capacity and heat rejection for stable transmission temperatures and sharper, more consistent ZF8 automatic shifting. We run this cooler on our own G8X builds and customer cars with excellent results, and feedback has been consistently positive from track day enthusiasts and fast-road drivers alike.

- Improve ZF8 automatic shift consistency and responsiveness
- Add fluid capacity and cooling surface area for greater thermal stability
- Protect a critical and expensive drivetrain component
