Description
The Mishimoto F8X Performance Intercooler Power Pack (MMB-F80-PP) is a complete forced induction cooling upgrade built specifically for the S55-powered BMW F8X chassis. Rather than replacing just one weak link, this Power Pack bundles a Performance Air-to-Water Intercooler, a Performance Heat Exchanger, and a full charge pipe kit engineered to correct the factory forced induction system’s known failure points, starting with the brittle plastic charge pipes that are prone to cracking under boost.
As a dedicated forced induction system upgrade, the Power Pack reworks how the S55’s air-to-water induction system manages heat. The Performance Intercooler uses a bar-and-plate core with a single-pass coolant layout to increase core volume by 29 percent and flow by 16 percent, translating into a 12°F drop in intake air temperatures. The matching Heat Exchanger gains six inches of core height for a 180 percent increase in external fin surface area and 60 percent more volume, resulting in a 10°F reduction in coolant temperatures. On a stage 1 tuned M3, the fully assembled kit delivered average gains of 11 whp and 8 wtq, with peak gains as high as 31 whp and 10 wtq — real-world proof of how much a properly upgraded induction system and heat exchanger can unlock on a forced induction platform.
Vehicle Applications
This kit is a specific fit for the BMW F8X chassis (F80, F82, F83, F87) running the S55 engine, covering the 2015-2018 BMW M3, the 2015-2020 BMW M4, the 2016 BMW M4 GTS, the 2018-2020 BMW M4 CS, and the 2019-2020 BMW M2 Competition. It installs as a direct, specific-fit replacement for the factory air-to-water intercooling components on these platforms.
