BMW 328i xDrive 335i xDrive N55 Turbo Front Mount Intercooler Upgrade – F30 F31 F34
Upgrade your BMW 3 Series F30 F31 F34 with a high performance front mount intercooler designed for the N55 turbo engine. This BMW intercooler upgrade is the perfect FMIC for 328i, 328ix, 335i, 335ix and xDrive models, delivering colder intake air temperatures, improved consistency and real-world performance you can feel. Ideal for daily driving, spirited road use and tuned cars, this bar and plate BMW N55 intercooler is a direct fit, plug and play replacement that massively outperforms the stock charge air cooler.
Engineered with a robust bar and plate core matched to flowed cast end tanks, this FMIC maximises cooling efficiency and airflow. We have installed and used these intercoolers on our own builds and customer cars with excellent results. Customers love the way it keeps IATs low and power consistent pull after pull.
Proven cooling. Consistent performance.
In back-to-back road testing over five consecutive runs, intercooler intake temperatures measured between 135 and 140 degrees for both the standard and the MTC intercooler. On the outlet side into the engine, the stock cooler saw 75 to 80 degrees, whereas the MTC intercooler consistently delivered temperatures in the high 20s across all five runs. Lower IATs mean more repeatable performance and safer power on tuned and stock cars alike.
