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

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 intercooling system 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. The Mishimoto 2015-2020 BMW F8X M3/M4 Performance Intercooler Power Pack looks at strengthening the weaknesses in BMW's design starting with the charge pipes. It's a common problem with the factory plastic charge pipes to crack under pressure, or split at the seams, a less than idea situation as you pilot your M3 or M4 in any situation. We created a brand new design for the charge pipes that inspire more confidence in handling the boost pressure. Our design features a full aluminum construction, with a cast mid-section designed specifically to squeeze past the intake. Our charge pipe kit also includes a pair of matte black silicone couplers for a sleek and secure connection to the intercooler. The non-descript silver box is out and the stylish new Mishimoto Performance Air-to-Water Intercooler is in. With a stylish new look, our new design fits perfectly, both in terms of installation and aesthetic, in the M3 and M4's engine bay. The beauty is more than just skin deep too. Our improved core design features a bar-and-plate core with a 29-percent increase in core volume, as well as a unique single-pass coolant flow layout for optimal heat transfer. Combined with our 16-percent increase in flow through the core we were able to record a 12 F temperature drop in intake air temperatures while testing our full Power Pack. An air-to-water intercooling system wouldn't be complete without the heat exchanger. When it came to BMW's design, it was a soli High-performance component designed to enhance thermal efficiency, durability, and reliability under demanding conditions. Engineered to support optimal temperature control and system performance across applications.

• Dyno-proven average power gains of 11 whp and 8 wtq with peak gains of up to 31 whp and 10 wtq on stage 1 tuned vehicle
• 12F drop in intake air temperatures and 10F reduction in global intercooler coolant temperatures
• Includes S55 Performance Intercooler, Heat Exchanger, and Charge Pipe Kit

The Mishimoto 2015-2020 BMW F8X M3 and M4 Performance Intercooler Power Pack is engineered to enhance the thermal efficiency and overall performance of your high-performance vehicle. Designed specifically for the BMW F8X M3 and M4 models, this kit addresses common weaknesses in factory intercooling systems by providing a robust upgrade that improves heat transfer and boosts power output. The package includes a high-capacity bar-and-plate intercooler core with a 29% increase in volume, supporting optimal cooling even under demanding conditions. Its single-pass coolant flow layout ensures efficient heat dissipation, contributing to a consistent reduction in intake air temperatures, which tested to be 12°F lower than stock setups. The heat exchanger complements the intercooler core by maintaining stable coolant temperatures, ensuring sustained performance during spirited driving or track use. The kit features a fully aluminum charge pipe assembly with a cast mid-section designed to fit seamlessly past the intake manifold, providing increased durability over the factory plastic pipes. Matte black silicone couplers secure the connections for a sleek appearance and reliable seal. This upgrade not only improves thermal management but also delivers measurable power gains, with dyno tests showing an average increase of 11 wheel horsepower and 8 wheel torque, peaking at 31 whp and 10 wtq on tuned vehicles. Installation is straightforward, and the components are engineered for durability and long-term reliability, making this Power Pack an essential upgrade for enthusiasts seeking to maximize their F8X M3 or M4’s performance potential. Whether on the street or track, this intercooler system ensures your turbocharged engine runs cooler, more efficiently, and with greater confidence. Crafted to meet strict automotive standards, it is CARB compliant and compatible with a variety of tuning setups, providing peace of mind along with increased power and efficiency.
