VRSF 6.5" HD Competition Front Mount Intercooler Upgrade Kit (FMIC

Serious cooling, repeatable power and proven reliability for your BMW F-series. The VRSF 6.5 inch HD Competition charge cooler delivers colder intake temps, stronger midrange and consistent back-to-back performance for remapped and hybrid-turbo builds. It is a direct-fit, high density bar-and-plate upgrade designed for N20, N26, N47 and N55 platforms including popular 2 Series, 3 Series, 4 Series and F87 M2 models.

We run this VRSF unit on our own cars and customer builds and the feedback is outstanding: rapid recovery between pulls, reduced heat soak and a noticeable improvement in sustained power on Stage 1, Stage 2 and FBO setups.

Highlights and benefits

• Massive 6.5 inch high-density bar-and-plate core with staggered, offset fins for exceptional thermal efficiency and low pressure drop
• Approximately 87% larger than the factory cooler for superior heat absorption and dissipation
• CFD-optimised cast end tanks for smooth, even airflow distribution across the core
• Supports high-output builds up to 800 whp while maintaining fast spool and strong top-end
• Works with OEM charge pipes and most aftermarket pipework; retains factory fan shroud
• Thermal dispersant coating and pressure-tested construction for durability
• Typical install time around 1.5 hours with basic tools
• Compatible with Left Hand Drive and Right Hand Drive vehicles, including xDrive
• Backed by a VRSF lifetime warranty

Real-world gains you can feel

The ultra-dense fin pack keeps charge temps under control, so IATs stay stable even at sustained boost. That means safer timing, more consistent power and a happier turbo on spirited drives, track days and repeated highway pulls. Ideal for mapped N20, N26 and N55 engines, whether stock turbo, full bolt-ons or hybrid units.

What’s in the box

Everything required to replace the stock cooler. Direct bolt-on using OEM-style mounting points with end tanks designed to pair with factory or most aftermarket charge pipes in the original location.
