Description
Upgrade your BMW's factory intercooler with the MAD BMW E-Chassis 5-Inch HD Stepped Core Intercooler, engineered to provide improved charge-air cooling, better intake air temperature control, and increased reliability for tuned N54 and N55-powered BMWs.
The factory intercooler can become a significant restriction as boost pressure and engine power increase. The MAD 5-inch intercooler features a high-density intercooler core and stepped-core design that increases the available cooling surface area while maintaining an efficient airflow path. This allows the intercooler to dissipate heat more effectively and helps maintain more consistent intake temperatures during spirited driving and repeated pulls.
With a substantial 21" x 8.5" x 5" core size and an approximate weight of 22 lbs, this intercooler provides a significant upgrade over the factory unit. The high-fin-density core is designed to maximize heat transfer, while the stepped configuration increases cooling capacity without requiring modifications to the vehicle.
The MAD intercooler is designed as a direct stock replacement, requiring no cutting or permanent modifications for installation. It is also compatible with both OEM and aftermarket charge pipes, making it an ideal upgrade for BMW owners looking to improve the cooling system while retaining their existing charge-pipe setup.
Built with precise fitment in mind, the MAD intercooler is designed to fit both rear-wheel-drive (RWD) and xDrive BMW applications. It is particularly well suited for tuned vehicles and Stage 1 applications where improved charge-air cooling is desired.
