Masata BMW N54 N55 Stepped Performance HD Intercooler for 135i and 335i | E82 E88 E90 E91 E92 E93 | E89 Z4 | FMIC Upgrade
The Masata N54 N55 Stepped Performance HD Intercooler is the go-to BMW intercooler upgrade for anyone chasing lower intake temps, faster recovery and dependable power on the road or track. This front mount intercooler is engineered with a larger stepped core and high density fins to maximise surface area and airflow. The result is reduced pressure drop, significantly cooler intake air temperatures and more consistent power on stock and tuned N54 and N55 engines.
Expect real gains. With improved cooling efficiency you can see peak power increases of around 10 bhp, and during longer pulls and back-to-back runs as much as 20 to 30 bhp over the factory BMW intercooler. We run this Masata FMIC on our own cars and customer feedback has been consistently excellent for reliability, fitment and performance.

Proven cooling performance
Independent user testing on a tuned N54 with full bolt ons showed the stock intercooler rising from 109°F to 192°F during a 2nd to 4th gear pull at 91°F ambient, an 83°F increase. The Masata Stepped Performance HD Intercooler under the same conditions rose from 109°F to just 127°F, an 18°F increase. That is 65°F cooler than stock, helping maintain timing advance and repeated run performance.
Perfect for BMW 135i and 335i owners
This is the ideal BMW 135i intercooler upgrade and BMW 335i intercooler upgrade for E chassis cars running the N54 or N55 engine. It is a bolt-on FMIC that supports stock mapping through tuned setups, including Stage 1, Stage 2 and full bolt on builds seeking lower IATs and consistent power delivery.
