Product details
OVERVIEW
The 3.0 liter S55B30 turbo engine in the BMW M3 and M4 uses an indirect charge-air cooling circuit, so the charge air is cooled by a water-cooled intercooler. This WagnerTuning high-performance unit replaces that intercooler.
The kit uses a new tube-fin competition core developed specifically for the demands of the M3 and M4, offering 114% more external core volume than the stock intercooler. The calculated ratio between inner and outer cooling surface generates maximum heat transfer while preserving the best possible internal air flow. The cast aluminum end tanks were designed in CAD and optimized through CFD simulation, giving excellent cooling with minimal back pressure — which is why the kit suits racing use as well as fast road driving.
All WagnerTuning radiators carry a heat-conductive anti-corrosion coating to ensure a lasting cooling effect. Installation is plug and play and straightforward, and instructions are included in the box.
