CSF High Performance stepped core bar/plate intercooler (SILVER) - F30, F32, F22, F87 M235i, M2, 328i, 428i, 335i, 435i, N55

Ultimate FMIC upgrade for BMW F‑series turbo models

Transform charge‑air cooling on your BMW with this premium alloy front mount charge cooler. Built around a stepped, bar and plate core, it delivers consistent intake temperatures, stronger performance on repeated pulls, and rock‑solid reliability for remapped and track‑driven cars. We have installed this unit on customer cars and our own builds, and the feedback has been outstanding for drivability, throttle response, and resistance to heat soak.

Key reasons to choose this intercooler

• Stepped twin‑height core for a larger frontal area and maximum ambient airflow.
• Rounded bar and plate construction for excellent thermal efficiency and durability.
• High density louvred fins to maximise surface area and rapid heat rejection.
• Significantly increased core volume compared with the factory cooler for cooler IATs under sustained load.
• Direct bolt‑on fitment using the original mounting points, shrouds and ducting.
• No cutting or permanent modifications required. Fully reversible.
• Ideal foundation for Stage 1 and Stage 2 remaps, hybrid turbos and fast‑road or track use.
• Available in a clean silver finish, with a stealth black option also offered.

Performance you can feel

Expect faster recovery between pulls, improved consistency on hot days, and stronger mid‑range torque thanks to lower intake air temperatures. The robust bar and plate design resists heat soak far better than the stock unit, supporting higher boost targets and sustained performance during spirited driving, motorway runs, and track sessions.
