I have the Weistec pan, no additional cooler. It's good insurance, but doesn't affect temps the way I have it setup. It has fittings to plumb in a cooler, but there aren't many places left to put one.
Most people here just do the BS diff rectifier (aluminum fins). It has a moderate effect on temps. The parts for the BS active rear diff cooling are something crazy like $8k, and I don't know if anyone has retrofit that.

The diff fin cover is standard on UK cars but just thought someone might have gone a step further and plumbed an additional cooler in like some black series set ups.

I would love to retrofit the 440 package on my PFL sedan.

Yes I am still yet to see anyone plump a cooler into those fittings, I am going to get my tuner to have a go a doing it when the pan arrives.

Diff isn't really known for overheating in these cars, and for those few that have had some problems (Wobble64 comes to mind), the rectifier install has fixed it. The BS active cooling is probably overkill, and a better and cheaper solution than the OE hardware is likely possible if you really wanted to do it.
Do it!

I just wanted to provide an update on the parts that were suggested here to find for cooling purposes and if someone can maybe help me with the ones I cannot find:
Phenolic spacers-
Rear differential with cooling fins- Mercedes told me they don't have this part but Weistec has it
Larger oil pan with cooling fins- Wesitec has it
440 Cooling Package- Mercedes has it
160-180 deg thermostat -
Radiator blockoff plate -
Can someone help me with the 3 suggestions I cannot find? Thanks for your time.

If I'm reading this right, our cars which retailed for nearly 100k (I'm in Canada so calm your horses) out the door can't even make it through one lap without limping due to high temps. And MB dealers are selling the solution which is an upgraded cooling package for close to $4000?!!
I cant be the only one that sees a problem with this... Why the **** do our cars not come with these???
