Active Autowerkes – Intercoolers. Fits BMW M3 F80, BMW M4 F82/F83.
If you own a BMW F80 M3, F82 M4, or F87 M2 Competition, you already know that the S55 motor is an engineering marvel. However, one of its weaknesses lies in the factory cooling system. The stock charge pipe, aftercooler, and heat exchanger often struggle to keep up, especially when you push your performance upgrades. Enter the Active Autowerke S55 Aftercooler Kit, a solution designed specifically for the S55 engine that not only enhances cooling efficiency but also elevates the overall performance of your ride.
As many owners have experienced, the factory aftercooler is built to handle a specific power target. Once you start pushing your S55 beyond its limits, the stock cooler can quickly lead to heat soak, resulting in higher intake air temperatures. This triggers the ECU to throttle back performance to protect the engine. The Active Autowerke aftercooler kit is engineered to prevent this issue, ensuring your car maintains optimal performance even under intense driving conditions.
Along with the aftercooler, the Active silicone charge pipes replace the factory plastic pipes notorious for developing hairline fractures. These cracks can lead to boost leaks, robbing your S55 of its full power potential. The silicone design not only resists heat soak but also allows for better airflow, ensuring that all that boost pressure is effectively utilized.
The included heat exchanger is often overlooked but plays a crucial role in maintaining performance. While it may not yield significant power gains, it prevents heat soak, allowing your intercooler system to operate efficiently even during prolonged use. With this upgrade, you can expect to maintain power after multiple hard pulls, unlike the stock setup, which heat soaks after just three.
BMW M3 owners have reported significant improvements in cooling efficiency and overall performance after installing this kit. One owner stated, "After installing the Active Autowerke aftercooler, I noticed a dramatic drop in intake temperatures during track days. I can push my M3 harder without worrying about heat soak!"
Upgrade your BMW's cooling system with the Active Autowerke S55 Aftercooler Kit and experience the difference in performance, reliability, and aesthetics on your next drive.
