Hot air is less dense than cold air and hot air is more susceptible to detonation. The job of the intercooler is to keep charge air temperatures low and consistent. For S55 powered vehicles, BMW uses an air-to-water intercooler. If you enjoy driving hard on canyon roads or the occasional track day, the OEM intercooler quickly becomes a performance bottleneck. Even daily driving can become a challenge for the OEM intercooler in hot climates. The OEM intercooler is very susceptible to heat soak, which results in high charge air temperatures and ultimately less power. The Agency Power F8X intercooler fits into the stock location and offers significantly better cooling compared to stock. Intercooler volume is increased by 61% which results in lower and more consistent charge air temperatures. It's designed as an OEM replacement and doesn't require custom work for installation. With lower and more consistent charge air temperatures, the chance of detonation is greatly decreased and power is increased.

Features:
  • 61% Larger Than Stock
  • Lower Charge Air Temperatures
  • Consistent Charge Air Temperatures
  • Reduced Chance of Detonation
  • Reduced Change of Heat Soak
  • Cooler Air = More Power!
  • Available in Silver

Fitment:
  • BMW F80 M3
  • BMW F82 M4
  • BMW F83 M4
  • BMW F87 M2 Competition (S55)
