Mishimoto 2015+ BMW F8X M3/M4 Performance Air-to-Water Intercooler

BMW has a knack for maintaining their stake as the benchmark when it comes to performance luxury vehicles, with the F8X generation being no exception. The S55 that powers the 2015-2020 BMW F8X M3, M4 and M2 Competition is dripping with technology, which includes an air-to-water intercooling system for a means of keeping cool. Where BMW's intercooler design was enough to help bring this generation of mid-sized M's to their peak, we here at Mishimoto found some weaknesses that we felt obliged to improve on. We started with the end tanks. The Mishimoto Performance Air-to-Water Intercooler features full, cast aluminum end tanks, TIG welded to our bar-and-plate core for maximum durability as you increase the boost in your Bimmer. Our end tanks also include internal air diverters on both the inlet and outlet to ensure an even flow of charged air through the core. When it comes to the core, bigger is better, and we were able to expand the size of our core in all dimensions, resulting in a 29-percent increase in core volume while abstaining from any modifications when it comes to installation. Our new core also features a unique single-pass internal fin layout for the coolant passage for optimal heat transfer from the charged air to the coolant. With our improvements combined, we saw the Mishimoto 2015-2020 BMW F8X M3 and M4 Performance Intercooler increase flow through the core by 16-percent and recorded a 12 F drop in intake air temperatures when tested with the Mishimoto Performance Heat Exchanger. We also recorded an average increase of 11whp and 8wtq during our testing with peak gains of up to 31whp and 10wtq. With the micro-wrinkle black finish and sleek header plate design, the Mishimoto Performance Air-to-Water Performance intercooler makes for not only the perfect addition to your F8X build, but also looks right at home in the M's engine bay. Like all of our products, the Mishimoto 2015-2020 BMW F8X M3, M4, and M2 Competition Performance Air-to-Wate High-efficiency intercooler engineered to reduce intake air temperatures for improved power and engine performance. Durable construction ensures optimal heat exchange, consistent boost, and a precise, reliable fit.

• Average power gains of 11 whp and 8 wtq when combined with Mishimoto Heat Exchanger
• 29-percent increase in core volume
• 16-percent increase in flow

Designed specifically for the 2015-2020 BMW F8X M3, M4, and M2 Competition models, the Mishimoto Performance Air-to-Water Intercooler enhances your vehicle’s cooling efficiency and overall performance. Featuring a full cast aluminum end tank TIG-welded to a robust bar-and-plate core, this intercooler ensures maximum durability and reliable operation under increased boost conditions. Internal air diverters within the end tanks promote even airflow, optimizing heat transfer and reducing pressure drop for improved throttle response and power delivery. The larger core volume, increased by 29 percent in all dimensions, allows for superior heat dissipation, translating into lower intake air temperatures and more consistent power output. The core's single-pass internal fin layout enhances coolant contact with the charged air, further improving heat transfer efficiency. When paired with the Mishimoto Heat Exchanger, this intercooler has demonstrated a reduction of up to 12°F in intake air temperatures, leading to an average power gain of 11 wheel horsepower and 8 wheel torque, with peak gains reaching 31whp and 10wtq. The sleek micro-wrinkle black finish and header plate design not only provide a refined aesthetic that complements the engine bay but also ensure corrosion resistance and a professional appearance. Built for a precise fit without requiring modifications, this intercooler is an excellent upgrade for enthusiasts seeking to maximize their vehicle’s performance, especially under demanding driving conditions.
