I installed a $190 intercooler on my F30 N20 328i. It went well.

I hope it's ok to post a video from YouTube here. I made a short video on the $190 intercooler I installed. I bought it purely on impulse because of the price and ended up being properly surprised by it. I still need to do some logging to see if it is actually any good. But after having put some miles on it I have found that my mid-range feels better, which I was not expecting, and transitioning from off to on boost is smoother.

I was prepared to make a video showing that "you get what you pay for" but it actually went very smoothly...



Anyway, there is the link.

Nope. Once I got the intake I stopped paying attention to their pricing. It was pure luck I stumbled on it.

No updates on the intercooler yet. It will be a little bit before I do. I want to make sure I can have a proper review with actual data to back it up with. As I have a full time job, a wife and two youtube channels as my hobby I have little extra time but I will try to get it done as soon as I can.
