The Active Autowerke F80 M3 F82 F83 M4 S55 Cooling Kit is the definitive solution for addressing the cooling limitations of BMW’s S55 engine. Designed to combat the heat soak and rising intake air temperatures that plague the stock cooling system, this kit ensures consistent performance and reliability under demanding conditions. Whether you’re pushing your M3 or M4 to its limits on the track or enjoying spirited road driving, this comprehensive cooling kit is engineered to keep your engine performing at its peak.
The core of the F80 M3 F82 F83 M4 S55 Cooling Kit is the top-mount charge air cooler, specifically designed to outperform the factory unit in every aspect. Constructed from high-grade aluminium, this cooler utilizes a tube-and-fin core to maximize efficiency while maintaining a compact design. The billet-machined aluminium end tanks ensure even water distribution across the core, optimizing cooling performance and reducing pressure loss. To enhance its visual appeal, the top of the cooler is coated in carbon fibre, adding a premium touch that matches the engineering excellence beneath.
This kit also replaces the factory plastic charge pipes, which are prone to hairline fractures under boost pressure, with high-performance silicone charge pipes. The 5-layer silicone construction is not only more durable but also resistant to heat soak, ensuring maximum airflow and preventing boost leaks. These charge pipes seamlessly integrate with the top-mount cooler, securing the charged air and allowing the S55 engine to achieve its full power potential while protecting the turbochargers from unnecessary strain.
Completing the S55 Cooling Kit is a high-performance heat exchanger, a critical upgrade that drastically improves the efficiency of the intercooler system. The stock heat exchanger often struggles under extended high-performance driving, leading to rapid heat soak and diminished engine output. Active Autowerke’s upgraded heat exchanger dissipates heat far more effectively, keeping intake air temperatures stable even during extended pulls. Testing reveals this system is more than twice as effective as the factory setup, allowing your engine to maintain power and avoid performance reductions triggered by overheating.
Built with precision and attention to detail, the F80 M3 F82 F83 M4 S55 Cooling Kit uses CNC machining, TIG welding, and premium materials such as 304 stainless steel and multi-layer silicone to deliver unparalleled durability and performance. Installation is straightforward, thanks to its bolt-on design, and the system is fully compatible with the factory setup.
By addressing the inherent weaknesses of the S55 cooling system, this kit provides a complete solution that not only maintains lower intake air temperatures but also enhances overall engine efficiency. The F80 M3 F82 F83 M4 S55 Cooling Kit is the ultimate upgrade for BMW enthusiasts who demand consistent performance and reliability from their M3 or M4, ensuring that heat is no longer a limitation on the road or track. With its combination of cutting-edge engineering, enhanced durability, and superior cooling performance, this kit guarantees your S55 engine performs at its best in any situation.

PREPREG is a common term for a reinforcing fabric such carbon which has been pre-impregnated with a resin system. This resin system (typically epoxy) already includes the proper curing agent. As a result, the prepreg is ready to be laid into the mold without the addition of any more resin. In order for the laminate to cure, an autoclave production process is used, a combination of high pressure and heat.
- Maximum strength and performance characterictics. In a hand layup production process, it is difficult to achieve 50% fabric and 50% resin content. Typical hand laminates, even when vacuum bagged, end up with a significant amount of excess resin. Excess resin increases brittleness and reduces overall strength properties. On the other hand, most prepregs contain around 35% resin. This is ideal for maximum cured properties and generally impossible to achieve in normal hand lamination.
- Uniformity and repeatability. The prepreg is of uniform thickness and each part coming out of the mold may theoretically be the same. Vacuum bagging technology may have some errors in processing, but prepreg ensures production consistency.
- Reduce curing time. After the thermal curing cycle, no need to wait for the standard 48 hours can be fully cured.
- Aesthetics. Although prepreg processing still requires mold preparation and demoulding, prepreg processing eliminates air bubbles, makes it easier to obtain a smooth, glossy surface as well as eliminates any seaming lines.
