BMW S55 F80 M3 Chargecooler Aluminium Cover
Transform the look of your BMW F80 M3 S55 engine bay with this premium chargecooler aluminium cover. This simple OEM plus upgrade cleans up the top mount chargecooler area and gives your M3 a purposeful, high quality finish. Available with either a horizontal ///M3 logo or vertical ///M3 competition logo, it is the perfect engine bay dress up part for F80 owners who want a stealthy, factory style aesthetic with show car appeal.
We run this cover on our own S55 development car and customer feedback has been consistently excellent. It fits securely, looks superb, and complements the S55 carbon fibre strut brace and other engine bay upgrades perfectly.
Why choose this chargecooler cover
- Manufactured from 2 mm high grade aluminium with excellent corrosion resistance
- Laser cut for precise fitment and crisp, consistent detailing
- Ultra matt black powder coated finish for a durable, OEM plus look
- Quick, secure installation using 3M VHB double sided tape
- Ideal base for customisation: vinyl logos, custom paint, carbon coating or laser etching
Engine bay upgrade that looks right at home
BMW invested in a spectacular carbon fibre strut brace for S55 equipped models, but the standard chargecooler has a utilitarian, dull grey appearance. This aluminium chargecooler cover neatly hides that brick-like top mount and ties the whole engine bay together. It is a cost effective, resilient and attractive visual upgrade that delivers instant impact every time you open the bonnet.
Performance friendly design
This is a water to air S55 chargecooler cover, sometimes searched as an intercooler cover or top mount charge cooler cover. The S55 chargecooler’s thermal performance is governed by coolant flow through its core, not direct airflow over the exterior. Fitting this cover does not reduce chargecooler effectiveness.

FAQ
Will this reduce the effectiveness of the chargecooler?
No. The S55 chargecooler is a water to air system. Cooling is handled by coolant flow through the core, not external airflow, so the cover does not affect performance.
Is the tape secure in engine bay temperatures?
Yes. The supplied 3M VHB tape is designed for harsh environments, and the exterior of the S55 chargecooler does not reach high external temperatures. The cover’s shape and fitment keep it stable and secure.
