BMW 135i 335i 235i 435i N55 Front Mount Intercooler Upgrade - High Performance FMIC for F20 F21 F22 F23 F30 F31 F32 F33 F34
Looking for a serious BMW N55 intercooler upgrade for your 135i, 235i, 335i or 435i? This front mount intercooler is engineered for the F-series BMW platform to deliver lower intake air temperatures, reduce heat soak and unlock consistent performance on road and track. A direct fit plug and play FMIC for many BMW 1 Series, 2 Series, 3 Series and 4 Series models, it is the go-to choice for tuned and standard cars alike.
Built around a high quality bar and plate core with flowed cast end tanks, this BMW N55 FMIC keeps IATs under control so your turbocharged 3.0 N55 engine can perform at its best. In our own use and customer cars, results have been fantastic with noticeably stronger, more repeatable power pull after pull.
Proven cooling performance
Back-to-back road testing across five consecutive runs showed intercooler inlet temperatures of 135 to 140 degrees on both the standard and the MTC intercooler. Outlet temperatures into the engine told the real story. The standard intercooler delivered 75 to 80 degrees, while the MTC intercooler consistently dropped outlet temps to the high 20s over all five runs. That means cooler, denser air, better performance and improved reliability under sustained load.
Key features
- Massive 5 inch competition core with flowed cast end tanks for efficient charge air cooling
- Four additional rows at the front to increase surface area and heat rejection
- Internal fin on the intake side end tank to direct airflow up through the top four extra cores
- Approximate weight 11.5 kg with nearly 100 percent more volume and 90 percent more surface area versus the standard intercooler
- Dimensions 520 mm x 210 mm x 130 mm - the exact same as the Wagner dimensions
- Direct fit plug and play upgrade - typical installation time 1 to 2 hours
We would go as far as to say this is the best intercooler on the market for these models. At Nforcd we have run this FMIC ourselves and our customers have been genuinely impressed with the immediate drop in IATs and the consistent performance on repeated pulls.
