Unlock the full potential of your turbocharged N54 or N55 engine with the Turner Motorsport Stepped Intercooler. Whether you're running higher boost, track days, or just spirited street driving, this direct-fit upgrade is engineered to dramatically reduce intake air temperatures (IATs) and improve charge air flow for consistent, reliable performance.
Cooler air is denser air, and that means more oxygen per cycle for better combustion and more power. The factory intercooler quickly becomes a bottleneck under increased load or in warm conditions. Turner’s stepped intercooler solves that by offering an 80% increase in frontal surface area and cross-sectional flow, helping your BMW stay cooler and pull harder.
Constructed with high-quality cast aluminum end tanks and a bar-and-plate core, this intercooler delivers superior cooling efficiency and reduced pressure drop, even under sustained high-boost operation. The black powder-coated finish offers a clean, stealthy appearance, while the etched Turner logos add just the right touch of motorsport style.
Perfect for:
E82/E88 135i, E9X 335i/335xi, E84 X135i, E89 Z4 35i/35is
Key Features:
Direct-fit upgrade for E chassis N54 & N55 engines
Durable cast aluminum end tanks
High-efficiency bar-and-plate design
80% increase in frontal and cross-sectional area vs. stock
90% increase in charge air volume
Substantially lower IATs for improved power and reliability
Reduced and more consistent pressure drop
Lightweight design (under 20 lbs)
Dimensions: 520mm wide × 210mm tall × 130mm deep
Stealth black finish with Turner-etched logos
If you're looking to push your turbo BMW harder, the Turner Motorsport Stepped Intercooler is the cooling solution that keeps your engine running strong—pull after pull.

Reinforced Silicone:
These couplings feature high temperature 5-Ply reinforced silicone material which meet or exceed SAEJ20 Standard.
Durable Couplings:
Allow for expansion, movement, and extreme vibration between two hard pipes while reducing the possibility of connections coming apart or having your hard pipe or other equipment break.
Note: This coupling kit fits aFe intercooler with tube (46-20152-B) Only.
Fits the following BMWs:
2007-2010 E9X BMW 335i w/ N54
This BladeRunner Intercooler represents the next generation of intercoolers. Designed specifically for the 2007-2010 BMW 335i (E9X) L6-3.0L (tt) N54 engines, this BladeRunner intercooler utilizes a 5" bar and plate core design. This design outflows the factory tube and fin core design, while the 3/16" TIG-Welded end tanks offer superior strength and durability. In testing, this intercooler showed gains up to +14 horsepower and +18 lbs. x ft. without any type of tune, and dropped the intake air temperature up to 10 degrees.
End Tanks:
The unique BladeRunner end tanks are constructed out of 3/16" thick aluminum plates and include two 1/8" NPT ports for sensors or water-methanol injection.
5" Bar and Plate Core Design:
The use of the bar and plate core design allows for greater airflow and increased heat dissipation over the much smaller tube and fin design used by the factory.
TIG-Welded:
100% TIG-Welded inside and out by a certified craftsmen for strength and durability. TIG-Welding provides the strongest welds while reducing stress cracks.
Pressure Tested:
The BladeRunner Intercooler is test pressure rated at 200psi.
Perfect Fit:
Utilizes the factory mounting locations for a hassle-free installation. The billet 2 1/2" intercooler inlet utilizes a factory style quick connect to assure compatibility with the factory hot side inlet tube. The supplied cold side tube retains the factory style throttle body quick connect and retains the factory diverter valve connections. This kit will not work with the factory cold side intercooler tubing.
