AIRTEC Motorsport Billet Chargecooler Upgrade for BMW S55 - the ultimate top-mount charge cooler upgrade for BMW M2 Competition, M3 and M4 owners who want lower intake temps, faster recovery and consistent performance on road and track. This precision CNC-machined billet aluminium chargecooler is designed specifically for the BMW S55 engine and is a direct-fit upgrade that retains the OEM top-mount location for a clean, factory-style installation.
Looking for a BMW S55 charge cooler upgrade, BMW M2 Competition chargecooler, BMW M3 F80 intercooler or BMW M4 F82 F83 charge cooler? This AIRTEC Motorsport billet chargecooler is engineered in the UK to deliver proven cooling efficiency, resist heat soak and support tuned cars running remaps, downpipes and hybrid turbos. It is a premium, performance-focused upgrade for fast road and track day use.
Why choose a billet chargecooler for your BMW S55?
- Billet CNC-machined end tanks with internal deflectors for superior airflow distribution across the full length of the core
- Largest practical core in the OEM location to reduce charge temperatures and combat heat soak
- Caps and connector plates also billet-machined for perfect fitment and reliability
- Direct-fit upgrade using the OEM dampened bracket, with OEM boost and coolant connectors retained
- Available in Pro-Series Black or Natural Silver for an OEM plus finish
Unlike ordinary direct replacements, this is the only uprated chargecooler for the S55 to feature larger, freer-flowing billet CNC end tanks with internal air directors. The result is increased flow efficiency, faster temperature recovery between pulls and dependable performance during hard use.
Proven results on a tuned S55
Back-to-back data logging on a tuned S55 test car fitted with Littco L640 hybrid turbos producing 648 bhp and 684 lb ft showed a dramatic drop in charge temperature rise across a power run from 2,000 to 7,500 rpm:
- OEM chargecooler: typical intake temperature increase of 39 degrees
- AIRTEC billet chargecooler: typical intake temperature increase of just 9 degrees
That improved cooling efficiency translates to more consistent power, repeatable performance and greater confidence on spirited drives, track days and hot weather conditions.
