COBB CSF Stepped Core Intercooler - BMW 335i (E90/E92/E93) / 135i (E82/E88) / 1M (E82)
This CSF stepped-core intercooler, sold by COBB, is a drop-in replacement for the factory front mount intercooler on N54 and N55 BMWs: the 335i (E90/E92/E93, including 335is and xDrive), 135i (E82/E88) and 1M. Its lower section is 140mm (5.5") thick and the face about 210mm (8.25") tall, giving far more core volume than stock. CSF quotes intake temperatures about 22°C (40°F) lower than the factory unit over repeated runs, and 15-20hp on stock cars or 25hp plus on modified cars.
Available in brilliant silver or semi-gloss black. Both are the same intercooler; only the finish differs.
Note: Drop-in fit with no modifications, and fully reversible to stock. Compatible with COBB off-the-shelf maps. Installation by a professional is recommended.
Features
- Stepped bar and plate core for more surface area and internal volume

- CNC-machined OEM-style quick-connect inlet and outlet
- Designed with 3D scanning and tested in CSF's wind tunnel
