Intercooler for BMW 3 Series E92 (2007-2013)

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

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.

N54 Chargepipe and BOV Kit:

All of the tuning in the world is only as good as the weakest link. More boost in your 135/335 is great! But you will soon learn that some of the factory hardware is not up to the task of handling that extra pressure. One of the first things to fail and cause a boost leak are the factory boost diverter valves. This allows boost to "leak" out of the intake stream and a loss of power from the engine. This ECS Tuning chargepipe upgrade includes a blow-off valve in place of the factory diverter valves. The BOV is higher quality than the diverter valves and will exit intake air to the outside instead of putting it back through the turbo system (which will reduce strain on the turbos). This aluminum chargepipe is also much more robust than the stock plastic factory pipe and the connection to the throttle body is stronger, eliminating another failure point of the stock pipe.

Built-in 1/8" NPT ports allow you to run an additional methanol injection kit (bungs included if you don't want use the ports).

This is a complete kit that includes everything you need to replace the factory chargepipe and diverter valves -

powedercoat chargepipe
ECS Tuning blow-off valve
multiple BOV springs to suit your vacuum/boost needs
vacuum plugs for the stock diverter valve hoses
silicone hose connection to intercooler piping
all hardware and hose clamps with instructions

These 5-ply silicone reinforced couplers are capable of withstanding high temperatures and include new hose clamps. Designed for aFe intercooler and aFe tubes.
