In addition to its performance benefits, the intercooler enhances the front-end styling of your Mini with a more aggressive and purposeful appearance visible through the grille.
Important Fitment Note:
To confirm compatibility, view your factory intercooler through the front grille and count the number of horizontal cooling tubes:
-
11 tubes = Use this intercooler (FMINTMF56)
-
7 tubes = Use Forge part number FMINT8
