Overview

The wait is over. After a year of rigorous development and testing across various racing conditions, we proudly present the Evolution Racewerks Competition Series Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC) — the premier intercooler solution specifically engineered for the 2014–2016 BMW 435i N55.

At the core of the ER Competition FMIC is a robust 20"x11"x3" (26"x11"x3" with end tanks) high-density bar and plate intercooler core. This core boasts an impressive 660 cubic inches of efficient cooling capacity, which is 35% larger than the factory's 425 cubic inches of less effective tube and fin core. Our extensive testing revealed that fin density is crucial for optimal heat transfer. With 18-20 fins per square inch, our core significantly outperforms lower-quality alternatives that typically have only 8-10 fins per square inch. This means you can achieve superior cooling efficiency with a more compact design.

Performance Benefits

Independent testing has consistently shown that Evolution Racewerks intercoolers outperform competitors, with many opting to use our intercoolers in their own racing endeavors. The ER FMIC has demonstrated the ability to maintain intake air temperatures (IAT) nearly at ambient levels, effectively combating heat soak — a common issue where the intercooler fails to dissipate heat efficiently during prolonged high-performance driving. With our FMIC, you can expect consistent IATs throughout the entire RPM range, even after multiple full-throttle pulls. It recovers quickly, ensuring that you stay in the power band without losing performance.

Designed for competition, this intercooler excels in demanding conditions, such as road racing, where prolonged full-throttle operation is the norm. With real-world testing on our 135i Time Attack race car in temperatures exceeding 100 degrees, the Evolution Racewerks FMIC has proven to be a reliable solution that can support over 600hp without breaking a sweat.
