If you’re looking to boost your 2011-2013 BMW 335i (E9X) with some serious cooling power, the BladeRunner Intercooler is where it’s at. This isn’t just another intercooler; it’s designed specifically for the N55 engine, and you can really feel the difference. With a 5-inch bar and plate core, it outflows the stock tube and fin setup, giving you better airflow and heat dissipation. We’re talking about gains of up to +12 horsepower and +12 lbs. x ft. of torque, plus a drop in intake air temperature by 12 degrees—all without needing a tune. That’s some solid performance right there.
End Tanks:
The end tanks are built tough with 3/16" aluminum plates, so you know they can handle the pressure. Plus, they come with two 1/8" NPT ports, perfect for hooking up sensors or even a water-methanol injection system if you’re feeling adventurous.
5" Bar and Plate Core Design:
This design isn’t just for show. The bar and plate core is about 10% larger than the factory’s, which means it allows for way better airflow and cooling. The 2-1/2" inlet and outlet connections fit right in with the stock hot side intercooler tube, making it a seamless upgrade.
TIG-Welded:
Every inch of this intercooler is 100% TIG-welded by certified craftsmen. This means you’re getting some of the strongest welds out there, reducing the risk of stress cracks and ensuring durability over time.
Pressure Tested:
You can trust this intercooler to hold up, as it’s pressure tested to 200 psi. That’s some serious reliability when you’re pushing your car to the limit.
Perfect Fit:
Installation is a breeze since it uses the factory mounting locations—no cutting or modifications required. It’s also compatible with aFe's intercooler tube upgrade kit (46-20249-B), making it a versatile choice for those looking to enhance their setup.
Note:
Just a heads up, this intercooler isn’t CARB exempt, so if you’re in California or have a vehicle registered there, you might want to look elsewhere.
This is the real deal for anyone looking to take their BMW 335i to the next level. With the BladeRunner Intercooler, you’re not just upgrading your car; you’re enhancing your driving experience.
