Upgraded HE on my 03 e55...no lower cooler???
I've removed my stock he and noticed that I don't have a lower/smaller heat exchanger. Instructions shows my PLM secures the lower he in place. Was it certain years that have them? Here's what I'm missing.

How sure are you? I'm not questioning your knowledge but I have a Canadian spec car which may be different. For example I have this cooler (tranny) attached to my rad. Would this have lived on the bottom of the he???

Correct you are....this is what my version looks like. I also have the square rad with a fan on the passenger side. This looks a lot more efficient than the lower thin version relying the air to cool it.

It did not move to the passenger side. That is a separate oil cooler that all E55s have.
As to the vertical cooler in front of the radiator, that is also not a replacement for the lower cooler. My '06 has two verticals in front of the radiator.
'04-'06 had the lower cooler underneath the heat exchanger.

So maybe commonly the 03 had one vertical and one under HE for trans cooler. 04-06 2 vertical. Non below.
OP seems to have less cooling for tranny??

Are you saying all the 04-06 does not have one below? If so, you're wrong. Otherwise, I did not understand what you wrote.

my car is 3/03 build. No lower additional cooler. 1 vertical in fron of radiator, this is the powersteering cooler. If there is 2 vertical, arent these both for powersteering?
Also as said all the e55's have the additional engine oil cooler by the passenger side.
What is this lower cooler for? I know it came sometime in 04 as said but newer caught my eye whats it for?!

03s have one behind the bumper on the passenger side with a fan attached to it and did not have a cooler under heat exchanger. 04-06 had the one behind the bumper with the fan in conjunction with a slim one under the heat exchanger.
