BMW Front Mount Intercooler Upgrade for 1 Series F20 F21, 2 Series F22 F23, 3 Series F30 F31 F34, 4 Series F32 F33. Perfect for 420i 420d 320i 330d 328i 335i and more
If you are searching for a BMW turbo intercooler upgrade, BMW FMIC, BMW N55 intercooler or BMW F30 F32 intercooler, this front mount intercooler delivers the cooling performance your petrol or diesel BMW needs. Designed for popular models including 420i, 420d, 320i and 330d, it is a direct replacement intercooler that dramatically reduces intake air temperatures and keeps power consistent on the road.
Why upgrade your BMW intercooler
We have engineered this intercooler using a high quality bar and plate core paired with flowed cast end tanks to maximise cooling efficiency, reduce heat soak and stabilise intake air temperature. We have fitted and used these intercoolers on customer cars and feedback has been excellent. Testing on multiple vehicles showed a massive drop in outlet temperatures compared with the standard intercooler, delivering repeatable performance pull after pull.
Proven temperature results
On-road testing over 5 consecutive runs recorded similar intercooler intake temperatures for the standard unit and the MTC intercooler at approximately 135 to 140 degrees. At the outlet into the engine, the standard intercooler measured around 75 to 80 degrees. The MTC intercooler consistently delivered outlet temperatures in the high 20s over all 5 runs. Lower IAT means more consistent performance when driving hard.
Key features
- Massive 5 inch competition bar and plate core with flowed cast end tanks
- Four extra rows at the front to increase surface area for superior cooling
- Internal fin on the intake side helps direct airflow up through the top four extra cores
- Approximate weight 11.5 kg for strong thermal mass and durability
- Near 100 percent more internal volume and approximately 90 percent more external surface area than the standard intercooler
- Dimensions 520 mm x 210 mm x 130 mm. This is a huge increase over stock and the same size as the Wagner dimensions
- Direct fit plug and play in the OEM location. Professional installation recommended at around 1 to 2 hours
In our view this is one of the best value performance intercooler upgrades for these BMW models. Ideal for standard or remapped cars looking to control IAT, reduce heat soak and enjoy repeatable performance on spirited drives.
