Upgraded Top Mount Intercooler – BMW F80 M3 / F82–F83 M4 / F87 M2 Competition (S55)

Maximize cooling performance and protect your S55 engine with this Upgraded Top Mount Intercooler, designed as a direct OEM replacement for the F80 M3, F82/F83 M4, and F87 M2 Competition. The factory S55 top-mount intercooler is known for premature leakage and overheating under spirited driving—this upgraded unit solves those issues with a higher-capacity core, improved cooling efficiency, and race-proven construction.

Built with a high-density bar-and-plate core and significantly increased surface area, this intercooler dramatically reduces intake air temperatures, improves consistency under boost, and enhances reliability for both daily driving and track conditions.

Key Benefits
