Description
The Mishimoto MMINT-F80-15CYMB is a purpose-built performance air-to-water intercooler engineered specifically for the S55 engine found in the BMW F8X platform. Finished in color-matched Yas Marina Blue, this forced induction upgrade replaces the factory intercooler’s weak points with a cast aluminum, TIG-welded design built to handle increased boost while dressing up the engine bay to match your exterior paint.
As a dedicated forced induction component, this Mishimoto intercooler is engineered to move more charged air, more efficiently, through a larger core. Mishimoto expanded the core in every dimension for a 29% increase in core volume, then paired that larger core with cast aluminum end tanks featuring internal air diverters on both the inlet and outlet so charged air flows evenly across the entire core. A unique single-pass internal fin layout on the coolant side further improves heat transfer from the charged air to the coolant, giving this induction system a real edge over the stock setup without requiring any modifications for installation. In Mishimoto’s own testing, paired with the Mishimoto Performance Heat Exchanger, the improvements combined to deliver a 16% increase in flow through the core, a 12F drop in intake air temperatures, and an average gain of 11 whp and 8 wtq, with peak gains reaching up to 31 whp and 10 wtq.
Vehicle Applications
This Mishimoto Performance Intercooler is a specific fit for the S55-powered BMW F8X chassis, covering the 2015-2018 BMW M3, the 2015-2020 BMW M4 (including the 2018-2020 M4 CS and the 2016 M4 GTS), and the 2019-2020 BMW M2 Competition. It is designed around the F80, F82, F83, and F87 chassis codes and the S55 engine code used across these M models.
