VRSF 5" Performance HD Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC) Upgrade Kit for BMW F20 F21 F22 F23 F30 F31 F32 F36 F87 M2 - 1/2/3/4 Series - 228i M235i 328i 335i 428i

Unlock colder charge temps and repeatable power with this 5 inch HD bar and plate charge air cooler for BMW F Series

If you want dependable intake temperature control on your turbo BMW, this uprated charge cooler is a proven, direct fit solution for F20 F21 F22 F23 F30 F31 F32 F36 and F87 platforms with N20 N26 N47 and N55 engines. It replaces the undersized factory unit with a high density bar and plate core and smooth flow cast end tanks, delivering cooler, denser air and stronger performance on stock, remapped and full bolt on builds.

We run this hardware on our own cars and our customers consistently report lower IATs, better throttle response and far more consistency pull after pull. Ideal for daily use, spirited road driving and track days where heat soak kills performance.

Highlights

• High density bar and plate core with staggered, offset fins for maximum heat transfer
• Significantly larger external and internal surface area compared to the OE cooler for stronger thermal control
• Low pressure drop design for fast spool and sustained boost
• CFD optimised cast end tanks for efficient charge flow
• Thermal dispersant coating for durability and consistent performance
• Retains factory shroud mounting points and works with OE and most aftermarket charge pipes
• LHD and RHD friendly including xDrive fitment
• Quick install time for an experienced DIYer or workshop
• Supports builds up to around 600 whp. Heavier power setups should consider the 6.5 inch Competition option
• Backed by a lifetime warranty
