Uprated Charge Cooler for BMW E8x E9x and X1 E84 2.0d

Keep intake temps under control and enjoy repeatable performance with this AIRTEC Motorsport FMIC built for the BMW 116d, 118d, 120d, 316d, 318d and 320d using the N47 or M47 engine. It is a straight-swap, plug-in cooler that uses the factory brackets and pipework, giving you cooler charge air and stronger mid-range pull without any cutting.

We have fitted and run these on customer cars and our own, and the feedback is consistent every time. Faster recovery between pulls, less heat soak on spirited drives and a confident, punchy feel even on remapped diesels. If you want a stealth look with proven cooling, this Pro-Series Black unit delivers.
