S55 Front Mount Heat Exchanger
BMW F80 M3 / F82–F83 M4 / F87 M2 Competition
Increased Cooling Capacity for Consistent Performance
The factory S55 cooling system is one of the biggest limitations when pushing these cars hard—whether on the street, track, or aggressive canyon driving. The S55 Front Mount Heat Exchanger is designed to significantly improve charge-air cooling efficiency, reduce heat soak, and maintain consistent power under sustained load.
By replacing the restrictive factory unit with a substantially larger, high-efficiency core, this upgrade helps stabilize intake air temperatures, improve reliability, and protect performance during repeated pulls or spirited driving.
Performance-Focused Design
This front mount heat exchanger features a larger-than-stock core with increased surface area and high fin density, allowing for superior heat dissipation compared to the OEM setup. The result is lower IATs, improved thermal efficiency, and more consistent power delivery—especially on tuned or aggressively driven vehicles.
An integrated heat shield helps manage radiant heat and improve overall cooling effectiveness.

About us
What started as a group of BMW enthusiasts tired of overpriced parts and limited options is now a brand trusted by thousands of owners nationwide.
We designed our own product lines from the ground up and built the production infrastructure to make them happen. No middlemen, no compromises. Just the parts we actually wanted on our own builds.
Now we operate out of Oceanside, California, engineering valved exhaust systems, carbon fiber, forged wheels, front-mount intakes, and more. Everything is designed in-house, tested on real platforms, and stocked locally for fast shipping.
This is just the beginning.
