Phoenix Racing BMW N54/N55 Front Mount Intercooler Upgrade Kit (FMIC) / Charge Air Cooler – E82 135i, E90 E92 335i/335xi xDrive – Direct-Fit Bolt-On, OEM-Location Performance IC, Stealth Black (E8x E9x)

Phoenix Racing Charge Air Cooler Upgrade for BMW E82 135i and E90 E92 335i 335xi

Unlock cooler intake temps and dependable power on your turbocharged six-cylinder with the Phoenix Racing uprated charge cooler. Designed for the E8x and E9x platform, this OE-location upgrade is a straightforward bolt-on that slots behind the bumper and keeps performance consistent on hard road driving and repeated pulls. Finished in a blacked-out coating for a discreet, factory-style look and supplied with the required fittings, it is a brilliant value choice for enthusiasts seeking real gains without compromise.

What you can expect

• Significantly larger core volume than the factory unit for improved heat rejection and reduced heat soak
• Lower charge temperatures for stronger, more repeatable acceleration on warm days and during back-to-back runs
• Less restriction versus stock helping throttle response and mid-range punch
• Subtle black finish that remains hidden behind the grille
• Reversible installation using stock mounting points with no cutting required
• Supplied with hardware for a clean, hassle-free swap

Proven results

We have installed this Phoenix Racing cooler on customer cars and our own demonstrators, and feedback has been excellent. Owners report noticeably cooler charge temps and a harder, more sustained pull during extended acceleration. Typical gains are around 10 wheel horsepower at peak, with approximately 20 to 30 wheel horsepower recovered during longer pulls compared with the factory cooler, thanks to reduced heat soak.
