AC Schnitzer Upgrade Intercooler for BMW 1 Series F20 F21 – Stage 1
Upgrade your BMW 1 Series F20 F21 with the AC Schnitzer intercooler upgrade for stronger, cooler and more consistent performance. The standard BMW 1 Series intercooler is small and prone to heat soak under hard driving and hot weather, which robs power. This AC Schnitzer performance intercooler delivers a larger core surface area and increased volume for greater efficiency, lower inlet temperatures and sustained power in demanding conditions.
If you are searching for BMW 1 Series intercooler upgrade, BMW F20 intercooler, BMW F21 intercooler, BMW M135i intercooler, BMW 120d intercooler, BMW 118d intercooler or AC Schnitzer intercooler, this is the proven solution.
