Description
The Mishimoto Performance Intercooler Power Pack (MMB-F80-PPCMW) is purpose-built for the S55 engine found in the BMW F8X M3, M4, and M2 Competition, targeting the two weak points Mishimoto identified in BMW’s factory setup: a coolant-restricted air-to-water intercooler and factory plastic charge pipes prone to cracking or splitting at the seams under boost. In place of the non-descript factory silver box, this Power Pack delivers a stylish, direct-fit intercooler alongside a redesigned heat exchanger and an all-new charge pipe kit engineered to inspire more confidence when the S55 is under load.
As a forced induction upgrade, this kit reinforces the vehicle’s entire induction system rather than a single component. The Performance Air-to-Water Intercooler uses a bar-and-plate core with a single-pass coolant passage design and cast aluminum end tanks to move more air with less restriction, while the companion Heat Exchanger dramatically increases fin surface area and core volume to keep coolant temperatures in check. Rounding out the package, a full-aluminum charge pipe kit with a cast mid-section and matte black silicone couplers replaces the failure-prone factory plastic pipes, giving the entire forced induction system a durable, performance-oriented upgrade path with real, dyno-proven results.
Vehicle Applications
This Power Pack is a specific fit for the S55-powered BMW F8X platform, 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 is engineered around the F80, F82, F83, and F87 chassis codes and the S55 engine code, so fitment and performance are dialed in specifically for these BMW M models rather than offered as a universal induction system solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which BMW vehicles does the Mishimoto Performance Intercooler Power Pack fit?
This kit is a specific fit for the 2015-2018 BMW M3, 2015-2020 BMW M4, 2016 BMW M4 GTS, 2018-2020 BMW M4 CS, and 2019-2020 BMW M2 Competition, all built on the F80, F82, F83, or F87 chassis with the S55 engine.
What is included in the Mishimoto Performance Intercooler Power Pack?
The kit includes one Performance Air-to-Water Intercooler, one Performance Heat Exchanger, one Heat Exchanger Stone Guard, two Charge Pipes, two Silicone Couplers, four Worm Gear Clamps, one CARB EO Sticker, mounting hardware, and the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.
What kind of performance gains can I expect from this kit?
Mishimoto reports dyno-proven average power gains of 11 whp and 8 wtq, with peak gains of up to 31 whp and 10 wtq on a stage 1 tuned vehicle. It also delivers a 12°F drop in intake air temperatures and a 10°F reduction in global intercooler coolant temperatures.
What problem does this Power Pack address on the factory BMW F8X system?
BMW’s factory plastic charge pipes on the S55 are prone to cracking under pressure or splitting at the seams. Mishimoto’s kit replaces these with a full-aluminum charge pipe design with a cast midsection, paired with an upgraded air-to-water intercooler and heat exchanger.
Is the intercooler available in different colors?
Yes, the kit is available in a choice of 7 BMW-specific color-matching options, including finishes like Mineral White Metallic, or in classic black.
What type of intercooler core does this kit use?
It uses a bar-and-plate core with a single-pass coolant passage design and cast aluminum end tanks, with a core volume increase of 29 percent and 16 percent improved flow over the factory design.
