Description
The Mishimoto Performance Intercooler Power Pack (MMB-F80-PPCAW) is a complete air-to-water cooling upgrade purpose-built for the S55-powered BMW F8X platform, replacing the factory intercooler, heat exchanger, and factory plastic charge pipes with a redesigned, all-aluminum system. Mishimoto engineered this power pack specifically to address the S55’s known factory charge pipe failures — cracking and splitting at the seams under boost — while also correcting weaknesses Mishimoto identified in BMW’s original air-to-water intercooling design. The result is a forced induction upgrade that looks as purposeful as it performs, swapping the non-descript factory silver box for a stylish new design that drops directly into the M3/M4 engine bay.
As a complete induction system overhaul, this power pack pairs a redesigned Performance Air-to-Water Intercooler with a larger Performance Heat Exchanger and a reinforced Charge Pipe Kit for the S55 engine. Mishimoto reports a 12°F drop in intake air temperatures and a 10°F reduction in global intercooler coolant temperatures versus the factory setup, with dyno-proven average gains of 11 whp and 8 wtq, and peak gains of up to 31 whp and 10 wtq on a stage 1 tuned vehicle. The intercooler core sees a 29-percent increase in volume with 16-percent improved flow thanks to its bar-and-plate core construction, single-pass coolant passage design, and cast aluminum end tanks, making this a genuine forced induction performance solution rather than a cosmetic swap.
