One of the F25\/F26 X3\/X4's most significant weak-points is its stock intercooler. This becomes obvious when tuning the N20\/N55 to increase boost with a Stage 1 tune and even more so with a Stage 2+ tune. With a higher boost target the charged air coming out of the compressor is hotter, therefore increasing IAT's. To compensate for the higher IAT's the ECU (DME) reduces boost, timing, and overall power to the engine. This is the exact opposite of what you want for getting your F25\/F26 X3\/X4 to perform better. In order to keep those IAT's low, a larger and more effective intercooler is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncrease HP \/ TQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e120% Larger Front Area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e94% More Efficient than OEM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully Reversible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConstruction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra-dense 14 fins per inch external core, giving it the best cooling performance possible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaking the area towards the rear of the intercooler and bringing it towards the front improves the overall ability of the FMIC to cool the charged air on the X3\/X4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cimg alt=\"BMW X3 Intercooler FMIC F25\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0082\/6687\/4995\/files\/335i_Intercooler_F30_FMIC_N55_235i_435i_15_large.jpg?v=1546225051\" style=\"margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; float: none; display: block;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eARM F25\/F26 FMIC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM Style Connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting Hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoses and Clamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIntake Air Temperature Results\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur baseline run was performed on a 335i running 16psi of boost with the stock F-Series intercooler.

In this 3rd gear run with boost peaking at 18psi, which is 2psi higher than the stock intercooler run, it starting at 95 degrees and ended at only 97 degrees. This is a 94% improvement in cooling over the OEM F30 intercooler!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation of the ARM F25\/F26 X3\/X4 FMIC upgrade is a basic bolt-on procedure similar to the F30 FMIC installation, but with the addition of trimming one small piece of plastic measuring 1x3\". It does not require you to remove the front bumper. It is a direct fit which bolts up into the original stock intercooler location. The CNC connectors will connect to either the OEM charge piping or to any upgraded intercooler piping that fits the stock intercooler. These CNC connectors are secured to the FMIC with our 6-layer reinforced silicone couplers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg alt=\"BMW X3 Intercooler FMIC F25\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0082\/6687\/4995\/files\/335i_Intercooler_F30_FMIC_N55_235i_435i_14_2951a039-0baa-497f-ad38-f2c17a9f82db_grande.jpg?v=1546578512\" style=\"margin-right: auto; float: none; display: block; margin-left: auto;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty \u0026amp; Off-Road Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery ARM Motorsports product is backed by a lifetime warranty which is automatically issued at the time of purchase.
