The wait is finally over! After more than a year of rigorous development and testing across various racing conditions, the Evolution Racewerks Competition Series Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC) is here to elevate your BMW's performance. Designed specifically for the BMW 435i N55 (2014-2016), this intercooler is engineered to deliver unmatched cooling efficiency, making it a must-have for any serious BMW owner looking to push their machine to the next level.
At the core of the ER Competition FMIC is a massive 20"x11"x3" core (26"x11"x3" with end tanks) that boasts a high-density bar and plate construction. With 660 cubic inches of cooling capacity, this intercooler is a whopping 35% larger than the factory's 425 cubic inches of less efficient tube and fin core. But what really sets this intercooler apart is its fin density — a critical factor for effective heat transfer.
Independent testing has consistently shown that Evolution Racewerks intercoolers outperform the competition, with some rivals even opting to use ER intercoolers for their own racing efforts. The FMIC is designed to keep intake air temperatures (IAT) nearly at ambient levels, ensuring that you maintain peak performance during extended full-throttle runs.
Heatsoak? Not a problem. The FMIC recovers quickly after a full throttle pull, maintaining consistent IATs throughout the RPM range. Whether you're on the track or cruising on the street, you can trust that this intercooler will keep your engine cool and efficient.
One of the standout features of the Evolution Racewerks FMIC is its straightforward installation. It utilizes factory-style connectors, making it fully compatible with your OEM piping or aftermarket options. No modifications are required; it's a true bolt-on upgrade that includes all the necessary hardware for a hassle-free installation.
"Installed this FMIC on my 2015 BMW 435i, and the difference is night and day! The IATs stay consistent even during long runs at the track. No more worrying about heatsoak!" - Mike, BMW 435i Owner
