Description
Unlock the full performance potential of your Mini Cooper F56 1.5 Turbo with the Forge Motorsport Uprated Intercooler — a high-efficiency cooling upgrade designed to outperform the restrictive OEM unit (BMW part number 17517617597). Developed by the official intercooler supplier to the Mini Challenge UK racing series, this intercooler is engineered for serious gains in both thermal efficiency and airflow.
Boasting a 123% increase in frontal surface area, this bar-and-plate core design provides outstanding cooling capabilities even under high-load conditions. Built for precision and durability, the end tanks are die-cast aluminum and shaped through extensive in-house R&D using 3D printed prototypes. The result is an intercooler that significantly reduces charge air temperatures while supporting additional power upgrades and tuning.
This is a true bolt-on solution that fits directly without requiring any body modifications. Each intercooler is equipped with CNC-machined hose couplers to ensure a tight OEM-style fit with the factory connections, and comes complete with all necessary hardware for installation.
To determine if this FMINTMF56 version is suitable for your Mini F56, simply check your stock intercooler through the front grille. If it features eleven horizontal cooling tubes, this is the correct model. If your intercooler has only seven tubes, you will require Forge part number FMINT8 instead.
