Forge Uprated Intercooler - BMW 135, BMW 335 and BMW 1M - N54 and N55
Looking for the best BMW 335i N55 intercooler upgrade or a proven BMW 135i and BMW 1M FMIC that delivers real performance on road and track? This Forge uprated front mount intercooler has been designed specifically for the BMW 135 and BMW 335 equipped with the N54 twin turbo and N55 single turbo engines, plus the BMW 1M with the N54 twin turbo 6 cylinder engine. It is a direct, plug and play performance intercooler upgrade that targets lower intake temperatures, reduced heat soak and more consistent power.
In testing, this intercooler achieved intake temperature drops of up to 30 degrees centigrade. The larger bar and plate core and increased overall dimensions improve cooling efficiency and reduce pressure loss compared with the factory intercooler. The result is cooler, denser charge air for stronger, repeatable performance and improved reliability under sustained load.
