CSF 04-13 BMW 335i/xi (E90/E91/E92/E93) High Performance Stepped Core Bar/Plate Intercooler - Black

CSF is known for making well-built cooling components, and this high-performance intercooler is a prime example for your BMW N54 or N55 engine. If you've started adding power to your 135i, 335i, X1, or Z4 through tuning or other modifications, the stock intercooler can quickly become a bottleneck, leading to higher intake air temperatures and reduced performance. This CSF intercooler is designed to handle those increased demands, making it a solid option for everything from mild bolt-ons to serious engine builds pushing over 1000 horsepower.

What sets this intercooler apart is its stepped core design. The larger bottom section is 5.5 inches thick, and the massive front face stands 8.25 inches tall, significantly increasing the surface area for cooling compared to the stock unit. CSF uses a unique rounded bar/plate core design, which helps direct airflow more efficiently into the core for better heat dissipation than flat-faced designs. It's engineered as a true plug-and-play solution, fitting into the OEM mounting locations without any cutting or trimming required, and it uses BMW-style quick-connect fittings, avoiding cheaper hose clamp systems.

This intercooler comes in a sleek black finish and is designed to clear the OEM crash bar, making installation straightforward. It's a substantial upgrade over the factory intercooler, ensuring your engine can breathe cooler, denser air even under high boost conditions.
