Mishimoto Air-to-Water Intercooler Power Pack, Black, fits BMW F8X M3/M4 2015-2020

BMW has a knack for maintaining their stake as the benchmark when it comes to performance luxury vehicles, with the F8X generation being no exception. The S55 that powers the 2015-2020 BMW F8X M3, M4 and M2 Competition is dripping with technology, which includes an air-to-water intercooling system for a means of keeping cool.

Combined with our 16-percent increase in flow through the core we were able to record a 12 F temperature drop in intake air temperatures while testing our full Power Pack. An air-to-water intercooling system wouldn't be complete without the heat exchanger. When it came to BMW's design, it was a soli
