Installing a larger intercooler in your BMW can lower the temperatures of your charged air, giving you the opportunity to make more power. As forced induction BMWs become more popular, intercoolers will be a staple in terms of modifications.
N54 and N55 powered BMW's are infamous for their accessibility to easy power gains, and addressing the amount of heat that the engine puts out goes hand in hand towards reaching those numbers. MMX's Performance intercooler is a step up from the stock intercooler which now delivers even better cooling and provides rom for more power to the wheels. This intercooler possesses a larger core and more surface area than the stock intercooler which both reduces pressure drop and improves cooling. This results in a 20ºC temp drop for the intake and about a 20bhp increase to the wheels. This is a direct replacement for the factory intercooler and fully reversible. All required hardware is included. Precision TIG-welded throughout 20%+ larger core volume Efficient bar and plate core Typical intake temperature reduction of 20ºC over OE Increases power and torque, even with standard boost pressure OE-style charge pipe connections for easy installation Anti-corrosive thermal black finish MMR logo Can be installed in under an hour

With 22% more surface area than the factory IC the Mishimoto FMIC kit is more efficient. And that helps maintain your boost levels and performance! The factory intercooler is quickly overcome with heat and that leads to a loss of boost and performance. Factor in greater boost levels and other modifications and the more heat soak will put you out of the running. The solution is an intercooler with more capacity for cooling.
The best feature of this kit is how easy it is to install. It's a direct bolt-on replacement for your stock intercooler - no removing the bumper or modifying brackets or wrestling with plumbing. Core size measures 20.5"x5.1"x5.3". The entire IC is aluminum, eliminating potential weak spots with plastic end tanks. The CAD and FEM process also allows them to design their cooler internals without any bottlenecks or restrictions. And it comes with Mishimoto's awesome lifetime warranty and accident forgiveness. Fits both N54 and N55 cars.
This FMIC fits the following BMWs: 2008-2012 E82 BMW 135i 2006-2011 E90 BMW 335i 335xi 335i xDrive - Sedan 2007-2013 E92 BMW 335i 335is 335xi 335i xDrive - Coupe 2007-2013 E93 BMW 335i - Convertible 2009+ Z4 BMW Z4 sDrive35i Z4 sDrive35is
