Unlock cooler intake temps, consistent power and dependable performance with this high-performance BMW turbo intercooler upgrade. Engineered with a robust bar and plate core and matched to flowed cast end tanks, this FMIC is designed to keep intake air temperatures low for repeatable gains on road and track. A direct fit, plug-and-play solution for key BMW F-Series petrol and diesel turbo models, including popular N20 and N55 applications listed below.
We have installed and tested these intercoolers ourselves and our customers have been thrilled with the results. In like-for-like road testing over five back-to-back pulls, inlet temperatures before the intercooler were 135–140 °C on both the stock cooler and this MTC unit. At the outlet into the engine, the stock intercooler saw 75–80 °C, whereas the MTC intercooler delivered outlet temps in the high 20s °C across all five runs. Lower charge temps mean denser air, more reliable performance, reduced heat soak and stronger, repeatable pulls.
- Massive 5 inch competition core with flowed cast end tanks and four extra rows at the front for increased surface area.
- Internal fin added on the intake side to direct airflow through the top four extra cores for improved efficiency.
- Near 100% more internal volume and approximately 90% more external surface area than the factory intercooler.
- Dimensions: 520 mm x 210 mm x 130 mm. For comparison, these dimensions are the exact same as the Wagner dimensions.
- Weight: 11.5 kg sturdy bar and plate construction for excellent heat rejection and durability.
- Direct fit, plug-and-play FMIC upgrade. Professional installation recommended. Typical install time 1–2 hours. Plenty of supportive how-to videos are available on YouTube.
