Product Description

The VRSF S55 Top Mount Charge Cooler Upgrade is designed for the BMW F87 M2 Competition, F80 M3, F82 M4 and F83 M4 Convertible, helping reduce intake air temperatures and maintain consistent power delivery under load.

The factory S55 charge cooler can become heat-soaked during prolonged high-load driving, increasing intake temperatures and limiting performance. VRSF addresses this with a significantly larger charge cooler and improved flow characteristics, making it a strong supporting upgrade for tuned road cars and track-focused builds.

Featuring a 62% larger capacity volume than the factory charge cooler, this upgrade is designed to improve thermal efficiency and support both Stage 1 and heavily modified S55 setups, including hybrid turbo applications.

Manufactured from high-grade aluminium with a robust bar-and-plate core design, the VRSF charge cooler offers improved durability, heat dissipation and long-term reliability. It is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement with no modifications required.
