BMW M135i 335i M235i 435i N55 Turbo Intercooler Upgrade – Front Mount FMIC
Transform your BMW with a serious cooling upgrade. This BMW N55 front mount intercooler is a direct-fit, plug-and-play FMIC for M135i, 335i, M235i, 435i and many more F-series models. Engineered with a high-efficiency bar and plate core and flowed cast end tanks, it is designed to slash intake air temperatures, combat heat soak and deliver consistent, repeatable performance on the road.
Key features
- Massive 5 inch competition bar and plate core with flowed cast end tanks
- Four additional rows at the front to increase surface area for faster heat rejection
- Internal fin on the intake side to direct airflow into the top four extra cores
- Near 100% more internal volume and around 90% more external surface area than the standard intercooler
- Dimensions 520mm x 210mm x 130mm, the same core dimensions as the Wagner unit for easy comparison
- Weighs 11.5 kg for robust, durable performance
- Direct fit FMIC with factory connections, no cutting required
Proven on the road
Tested back to back over five consecutive road pulls, both the standard intercooler and this unit saw intercooler intake temperatures between 135 and 140 degrees. Post intercooler into the engine, the stock unit logged between 75 and 80 degrees. With this upgraded intercooler fitted, outlet temperatures were in the high 20s across all five runs. That dramatic reduction in IAT helps your BMW deliver reliable power run after run with reduced heat soak and improved consistency.
Real-world results and customer feedback
We have fitted and used these intercoolers on customer cars at Nforcd and the feedback has been excellent. Drivers report stronger, more consistent performance, especially on tuned and hard-driven cars. We would go as far as to say this is one of the best intercooler upgrades available for these models.
