VRSF 7.5 Inch Race Front Mount Intercooler FMIC for BMW 135i 335i 335is N54 N55 (E82 E90 E91 E92 E93, xDrive XI) - 1000HP Bar & Plate

Uprated 7.5 inch Race Core Charge-Air Cooler for BMW E82 135i and E9x 335i/335is with N54 or N55

Chase colder intake temps, harder back-to-back pulls and dependable performance with this VRSF 7.5 inch race core charge cooler. Purpose-built for turbocharged N54 and N55 engines in the BMW 1 Series Coupe and 3 Series Saloon, Touring, Coupé and Convertible, it is a direct bolt-on upgrade for E82, E90, E91, E92 and E93 models, including AWD xi and xDrive variants. If you want a serious cooling solution for tuned street, track day or drag strip use, this is the proven kit.

We have fitted and run this unit on our own cars and for many customers. Feedback is consistently excellent: stronger pulls, repeatable power and noticeably lower IATs on spirited drives and extended sessions. It is a favourite for Stage 1 and Stage 2 remaps, hybrid twins and single turbo conversions.

Key benefits

• Massive high-density bar-and-plate core built for big boost and high power targets
• One-piece cast aluminium end tanks, CFD optimised for smooth flow and durability
• Outstanding charge temperature control to combat heat soak and preserve timing
• Low restriction design helps maintain quick spool and sharp throttle response
• Uniform bright silver finish for long-term corrosion resistance
• Compatible with RHD and LHD, including AWD xi and xDrive models
• Capable of supporting four-figure power goals with the correct supporting mods and calibration

How it delivers results

The factory cooler saturates rapidly once boost and airflow are raised. This race-spec core uses a staggered and offset fin pack inside and out to maximise surface area and heat transfer while keeping pressure drop low. The robust bar-and-plate construction shrugs off road debris and daily use, giving you confidence on fast road, track and drag events.
