Proven lower IAT and consistent performance
Tested over multiple vehicles, this BMW 535i intercooler shows fantastic real-world results. Across five runs in winter, intercooler intake temperatures were similar between the standard and this upgraded unit at around 90 degrees. The difference comes out the other side. Outlet temperatures into the engine dropped dramatically compared with stock, from 55 to 60 degrees on the standard intercooler to an impressive 18 to 22 degrees with this competition core. The result is stronger, more consistent performance with reduced heat soak run after run.
