BMW keeps setting the benchmark for performance luxury, and the F8X generation is no exception. The S55 powering the 2015-2020 M3, M4 and M2 Competition runs a slick air-to-water intercooling system - but where BMW built a strong foundation, we saw room to push further.
The Mishimoto F8X Performance Intercooler Power Pack tackles the weak points, starting with the charge pipes. Factory plastic pipes are notorious for cracking under pressure or splitting at the seams - not what you want mid-corner. Ours are full aluminium with a cast mid-section engineered to snake past the intake, finished with matte black silicone couplers for a sleek, secure connection.
Our Performance Air-to-Water Intercooler drops right in and looks the part, available in black or BMW-specific colors so your go-fast parts match your paint. The beauty runs deep: a bar-and-plate core with 29% more volume, a single-pass coolant layout for optimal heat transfer, and 16% more flow - good for a 12°F drop in intake air temps.
The heat exchanger got the same treatment. We added 6 inches of core height for a 180% jump in external fin surface area and 60% more volume, netting a 10F drop in coolant temps. Fully assembled on our stage 1 tuned M3, the Power Pack delivered an average gain of 11 whp and 8 wtq. An optional steel mesh stone guard protects the fins, and a variable fin pitch keeps DCT-equipped cars cool under load.
The F8X was built to pull ahead of the pack - this is the cooling upgrade that lets it. Like everything we make, the Power Pack is backed by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.
