BMW F80 M3 / M3 Competition S55 Chargecooler/Charge Cooler Cover – Top‑Mount Intercooler Shroud, Cooler Lid, Cover Plate & Under‑Bonnet/Under‑Hood Panel | Satin Black Powder‑Coated Laser‑Cut Aluminium OEM+ Trim

S55 F80 M3 Under‑bonnet Cooler Shroud in Satin Black Aluminium

Give your F80 M3 engine bay a clean, OEM plus appearance with this precision aluminium shroud for the S55 top‑mount water‑to‑air cooler. It neatly disguises the dull factory unit and ties the whole bay together for a stealthy, premium finish that looks like it should have been there from new. Choose your look with either a horizontal ///M3 logo or a vertical ///M3 Competition logo.

We run this panel on our own S55 development car and customer feedback has been outstanding. Fitment is spot on, the finish is superb, and it complements the carbon strut brace and other bay upgrades perfectly. If you want a tidy, factory‑style dress‑up part with show‑car appeal, this is the one.

Key reasons enthusiasts choose this bay panel

• 2 mm high‑grade aluminium for strength, light weight and long‑term corrosion resistance
• Precision laser cutting for crisp edges and consistent fit
• Ultra‑matt black powder coat for a durable, OEM plus aesthetic
• Simple install with high‑temperature 3M VHB automotive tape
• Great base for personalisation: vinyl graphics, custom paint, carbon skinning or laser etching

Transforms the bay without compromising function

This cover is designed for the S55’s water‑to‑air cooler (often searched as a top‑mount intercooler shroud, cooler lid, intercooler cover plate or engine bay trim). Intake temperature control on the S55 is governed by coolant flow through the core, so enclosing the exterior with a lightweight panel does not reduce cooling performance. Expect a cleaner, smarter under‑bonnet look with zero impact on drivability.

FAQ

Does this affect cooling?
No. The S55 uses a water‑to‑air system; charge temperature is managed by coolant circulation through the core, not airflow over the outside, so intake temps remain unaffected.

Is the adhesive suitable for engine bay temperatures?
Yes. The supplied 3M VHB tape is designed for harsh environments and provides a secure hold when the surface is prepared correctly.
