Can anyone think of a down side of adding an extra smaller radiator to work in conjunction with the stock radiator for extra cooling? BMW's are doing this for the 1M.

One thing you want to be careful of when adding cooling feature not controlled by the thermostat, is slowing down the rate at which the engine reaches its working temperature, you will increase the period while the oil is not running at its optimum temp so more wear and tear, you will be running "on choke" for longer so will increase bore wash and reduce the life of your oil etc etc.
