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.
Improve the cooling capacity for your 2015–2020 BMW M3 or M4 with the Mishimoto Performance Heat Exchanger. Air-to-water intercooling is a means of more efficient heat transfer from the charged air, but it now requires an additional heat exchanger mounted to the front of the vehicle in order to dissipate the transferred heat. The S55 powering the F8X generation of M’s packs quite a punch thanks to the A2W system. While the BMW engineers laid the foundation for dissipating heat from the intercooling system, we still saw some room to improve on their design. We started by eliminating any bits of plastic and promptly replaced the end tanks, including the inlet and outlet ports, with durable aluminum. We kept the dual-pass flow through the core for maximum cooling properties while expanding the core into the available space. Our new design features a 42mm thick core while extending the height by 150 mm, totaling in a 60% increase in core volume and a 180% increase in fin surface area. The end result of our improvements is a 10°F drop in global intercooling temperatures over the stock unit. Size isn’t the only thing that matters with this heat exchanger. Since the heat exchanger sits front and center in the M3 and M4’s cooling stack, it’s susceptible to damage from road debris. To keep your air-to-water system safe, our heat exchanger comes equipped with an optional steel mesh stone guard for an added layer of protection for the fins. We also incorporated a variable fin pitch for the lower 12 rows on the core in order to facilitate cooling to DCT-equipped M's. Finally, our 2015–2020 BMW F8X M3/M4 Performance Heat Exchanger includes the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty for a worry-free install. Features: Direct fit for the 2015–2020 BMW M3, M4, and M2 Competition 10°F drop in global intercooler coolant temperatures over stock 60% increase in core volume 180% increase in external fin surface area Increases intercooler coolant capacity by 0.6 gallons Full aluminum, TIG-welded construction Dual-pass design for maximum cooling Variable fin-pitch design for improved airflow to DCT cooler Includes optional stone guard for maximum protection against road debris Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty Included: (1) Performance Heat Exchanger (1) Stone Guard (1) Magnetic Drain Plug Mounting Hardware Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty WARNING!

Make your Ultimate Driving Machine even more ultimate with the addition of the Mishimoto BMW 2012-2016 F22/F30 Chassis Performance Intercooler! From the factory, the N20/26 and N55 engines are a prowess of German engineering, but the stock intercooler unit poses as a weak link for your turbocharged Bimmer. The tube-and-fin design coupled with plastic end tanks makes for the perfect environment for heat to set up residence and throttle the power of your 2, 3, or 4-series, especially for those running a tune. Mishimoto is here to unlock the full potential of your N20/26 and N55 engines withtheir Performance Intercooler specifically designed for the F22/F30 chassis. Their unique 6” thick step-core design adds a 115° angle to the top section to allow for additional charged air cooling without fully obstructing other heat exchangers. Tubes and fins are a thing of the past with this design as Mishimoto engineered their intercooler with a bar-and-plate construction, optimizing this intercooler for heat dissipation with minimal pressure drop. Coupled together, their features were able to drop intercooler outlet temperatures by 45°F, and add 10 whp and 8 wtq all on the stock tune of a 2017 M2 test vehicle. The BMW F22/F30 Performance Intercooler is available in silver or black and also includes the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty. Features & Specifications: Direct fit for the 2012-2016 BMW F22/F30 Chassis Patent Pending 6” thick, angled step-core design optimized for maximum flow without fully obstructing other heat exchangers Max power gains of 10 whp and 8 wtq on stock tuning Drops intercooler outlet temperature by 45°F on stock tuning Optimal core design for maximum cooling efficiency with minimal pressure drop Intercooler core volume increased by 96% External fin surface area increased by 130% Header plate includes shroud specifically designed to seal against curved factory crash beam Retains factory quick-disconnect fittings for compatibility with stock piping Available in silver or black Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS WARNING!
