Product Description

The VRSF Intercooler Upgrade for N55-powered BMW 1, 2, 3 and 4 Series models, including the F87 M2 Non-Competition, is designed to reduce intake air temperatures, improve cooling efficiency and help maintain consistent power under load.

The factory N55 intercooler can become heat-soaked during prolonged high-load driving, increasing intake temperatures and reducing performance consistency. The VRSF upgraded intercooler directly addresses this with a significantly larger core and improved flow characteristics.

Manufactured from high-grade aluminium with a robust bar-and-plate core design, this intercooler is built to deliver improved thermal efficiency and long-term durability for tuned road cars, track builds and higher-powered N55 applications.

Designed as a direct bolt-on replacement, the kit requires no modification and is compatible with factory and most aftermarket charge pipes, making it a strong supporting upgrade for Stage 1, heavily modified and hybrid turbo N55 builds.
