659.99€
The Alpha Competition BMW F87 M2C, F80 M3, F82/F83 M4 S55 Performance Charge Air Cooler is built to improve your BMW’s engine performance and cooling efficiency. Designed for vehicles with the S55 engine, this upgrade addresses the key limitation of the stock charge air cooler, especially when your engine is under heavy load or high boost pressure.
The factory charge air cooler does a decent job of cooling the compressed air coming from the turbocharger, but under spirited driving or high-performance conditions, it can struggle to keep up. This leads to heat soak, where intake air temperatures rise, reducing power and performance. The Alpha Competition intercooler solves that by offering a much larger cooling surface, improving heat dissipation and keeping intake air temperatures low.
Crafted from high-grade aluminum, the cooler takes advantage of the material’s exceptional thermal conductivity to efficiently transfer heat away from the intake air. This means cooler air entering the engine, which in turn helps the engine run more efficiently and produce more power. A larger intercooler core with better fin density and improved air channeling design allows for maximum airflow and heat exchange.
With cooler intake air, the engine can intake denser air, leading to higher horsepower and torque for a more engaging and powerful driving experience. This upgrade helps avoid the common issue of heat soak, ensuring consistent power even during extended high-performance driving sessions.
The Alpha Competition charge air cooler is designed for a direct bolt-on installation, meaning the upgrade process is straightforward. However, for the best fit and performance, it’s always a good idea to consult with a professional BMW technician familiar with the S55 engine modifications.
If you want to enhance your driving experience and make sure your S55 engine performs consistently at its best, the Alpha Competition charge air cooler is the perfect solution. It delivers improved cooling, reliable performance, and a noticeable boost in engine power.
