VRSF S55 Top Mount Intercooler, M3, M4, M2C | 2015-2021

The S55 engine in the F80 M3, F82 and F83 M4 and M2 Competition cools its charge air with an air-to-water intercooler that sits on top of the engine. The VRSF HD top mount intercooler replaces that factory unit with a dual-pass, high-density core that has 62 percent more capacity, and it drops into the stock location with no modification.

What It Does

Once a tune raises boost, the factory top mount struggles to shed heat, and intake temperatures can pass 105 degrees on a hard pull. The engine then pulls timing and power fades. The VRSF core removes far more heat on each pass, so intake temperatures stay lower and more consistent from pull to pull. That is especially useful on track days and for E85 or upgraded-turbo builds.

Materials and Construction

The core is a dual-pass bar-and-plate design with staggered, offset fins inside and out. CFD-designed cast aluminum end tanks bolt to the factory plumbing, and the unit is powder coated black so it looks factory under the hood. Each intercooler is hand finished and pressure tested before it ships.
