Description
The Mishimoto Performance Intercooler Power Pack (MMB-F80-PPCBS) is a direct-fit, forced induction upgrade engineered specifically for the S55-powered BMW F8X platform. This power pack bundles a redesigned air-to-water intercooler, a performance heat exchanger, and an all-new aluminum charge pipe kit to address known weak points in BMW’s factory system, including the plastic charge pipes that are prone to cracking under pressure or splitting at the seams. Mishimoto’s design replaces the factory’s non-descript silver intercooler box with a purpose-built forced induction system that drops into the M3 and M4 engine bay with a cleaner, more capable layout.
As a complete forced induction system overhaul, this power pack targets both thermal management and plumbing reliability in a single install. Dyno-proven testing of the intercooler upgrade shows a 12°F drop in intake air temperatures and a 10°F reduction in global intercooler coolant temperatures, translating to average power gains of 11 whp and 8 wtq, with peak gains reported as high as 31 whp and 10 wtq on a stage 1 tuned vehicle. The intercooler core volume has been increased by 29 percent with a 16-percent improvement in flow, while the heat exchanger delivers a 180-percent increase in fin surface area and a 60-percent increase in core volume. Paired with the redesigned charge pipes, this induction system upgrade offers a more durable, higher-flowing path than the factory setup and is backed by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.
