Real-world results – lower IATs, stronger performance
We have tested these BMW 135i and BMW 335i N54 intercoolers on multiple vehicles with fantastic results. Across five back-to-back road pulls, both the standard and this upgraded intercooler saw intake temps entering the core at roughly 125 to 130 degrees. At the outlet into the engine, the stock intercooler was around 75 degrees, whereas this upgraded intercooler consistently delivered outlet temps in the high 20s over all five runs. That means lower IATs, reduced heat soak and more consistent power from your N54 front mount intercooler upgrade.
