OVERVIEW
The 3.0 liter S58 biturbo six in the BMW M3 and M4 uses an indirect charge-air cooling circuit, so charge air is cooled by a separate water circuit rather than by ambient air. Lowering the temperature of that cooling water translates directly into better charge-air cooling, and that is exactly what this Wagner Tuning upgrade water cooler does.
Wagner's competition racing core increases the volume of the standard water cooler by 60%. The ratio between the inner and outer cooling surfaces gives maximum heat transfer while still allowing enough airflow through to adjacent components such as the engine water cooler. The coolers carry a thermally conductive anti-corrosion coating for a long-term cooling effect, and installation is plug and play with the supplied instructions.
