CSF Intercooler with non M Sport Front Bumper 435i

Hi everyone,

Has anyone had any issues running the CSF intercooler on a 435i with the non m sport front bumper? If so, do I need an intercooler specifically designed for the other bumper? Thank you.

The intercooler will fit, I don't believe the bumper has any impact on this.

Better fin density, slightly lower weight, greater frontal area. It should cool better than the CFS based on those factors.
