Forge Motorsport Front Mount Intercooler FMIC/Charge Air Cooler for BMW 135i 335i 1M (1 Series M Coupe) (N54 N55) E82 E88 E90 E91 E92 E93 - Direct-Fit Bolt-On Bar-and-Plate Upgrade, Low Pressure Drop, High-Flow Performance Cooling

High-Flow Charge Cooler Upgrade for BMW 135i, 335i and 1 Series M Coupe

Transform intake air temps and throttle response with this Forge Motorsport performance cooler designed for the turbocharged BMW straight-six. Built as a direct replacement for the factory unit, it delivers cooler charge air and rock-solid consistency on the road, during spirited drives and at track days.

Independent testing has shown intake temperature drops of up to 30°C, helping to combat heat soak and maintain repeatable power delivery. The enlarged bar-and-plate core offers increased frontal area and volume for excellent thermal efficiency while keeping pressure loss to a minimum.
