Description
Take control of intake temperatures on your BMW M5 or M8 with the Project Gamma Chiller System, specifically engineered for the BMW M5 F90 and M8 F91/F92/F93 platforms.
Designed for both street and track applications, the Project Gamma Chiller System integrates with the vehicle's factory air-conditioning system to provide additional cooling for the intercooler circuit. By using chilled refrigerant to lower charge-cooling temperatures, the system is designed to reduce Intake Air Temperatures (IATs) and improve thermal consistency during high-load and high-boost operation.
The system is available in configurations for vehicles built before or after July 1, 2019, making it important to select the correct version based on your vehicle's production date.
Advanced A/C-Based Cooling Technology
The Project Gamma Chiller System utilizes the BMW's existing factory A/C system to provide active cooling to the intercooler circuit.
Chilled refrigerant is routed through the chiller system to reduce the temperature of the intercooler coolant. Lower coolant temperatures can help reduce IATs and provide more consistent charge-air temperatures during repeated acceleration, spirited driving, and track use.
Lower and more stable intake temperatures can support optimized engine operation, particularly on tuned and high-boost vehicles.
Improved Thermal Consistency
High-performance turbocharged engines generate significant heat under sustained load. Elevated intake temperatures can contribute to heat soak and reduced performance consistency.
The Project Gamma Chiller System is designed to help combat this thermal load by actively cooling the intercooler circuit.
Potential benefits include:
- Reduced intercooler coolant temperatures
- Lower Intake Air Temperatures
- Improved thermal consistency
- Better resistance to heat soak
- Support for increased boost and optimized ignition timing
- More consistent performance during repeated pulls and track sessions
Actual power gains will vary depending on the vehicle's calibration, modifications, ambient conditions, and overall setup.
Factory Cabin A/C Retained
The Project Gamma Chiller System is designed to integrate with the factory air-conditioning system while retaining cabin A/C functionality.
This allows the vehicle to benefit from additional charge-air cooling without sacrificing the climate-control comfort expected from the BMW M5 and M8.
Plug-and-Play Installation
The system is designed for a straightforward plug-and-play installation without cutting, drilling, or permanent vehicle modifications.
Each kit includes pre-prepared components to simplify installation, including:
- Pre-crimped A/C hoses
- Quick-connect water fittings
- Pre-shaped universal mounting bracket
The application-specific components help provide a clean and professional installation.
Production Date Configuration
The Project Gamma Chiller System is available in two configurations based on vehicle production date:
- Before July 1, 2019
- After July 1, 2019
Select the appropriate production-date configuration when ordering to ensure proper fitment.

Important Fitment Note
Production date selection is required.
Please select Before July 1, 2019 or After July 1, 2019 when ordering. The vehicle's production date determines the correct configuration for installation.
Professional installation is recommended because the system interfaces with the vehicle's air-conditioning and intercooler cooling circuits. Proper A/C service and installation procedures should be followed.
