F32 Intercooler Help

Morning!

Listen, I need some help. Anyone install an Intercooler on their F32? Couple questions pertaining to that:

- Which one did you go with?

- Are intercooler fitments different for M Sport bumper and Sport Line bumper?

- What's your setup and what kind of gains did you see? I'll be going PS2 next month.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Highly recommend you start by reading the thread i posted about intercoolers
http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1232610


Before i can recommend the best intercooler, i will need to know what kind of mods does the car have now and what do you plan on adding to it.

Hey Mike,

Right now the car has FBO/JB4 and will be getting the Pure Stage 2 installed next month.

Fitment is all the same regardless of the M sport or Sport Line bumper?

I have 2015 435 m sport. Was looking to upgrade downpipe recently to compliment the MPE. Was thinking about switching out the charge pipe and intercooler before doing so. No plans on any major tunes right now or near future. Any recommendations for this set up? Fairly new to the bmw and tuning world so any info helps. Thanks in advance!

If you are getting catted downpipe, i recommend the active autowerke with the no CEL guarantee.

Lots of good options for the intercooler and charge pipe. If your car is for street use, I recommend the MAD or BMS race intercoolers.
CSF and Evolution Racewerks are really good options as well.

If you track the car on regular basis, consider the Wagner Competition EVO II or EVO III .

Thoughts on this combo from TMS?

BMS is a little more expensive than MAD but still cheaper than the combo you linked, BMS also uses a higher quality intercooler than Turner
