Active Autowerke | M2 N55 Intercooler
Our AA Intercooler for your M2 is now available!
After a couple months of testing they're finally ready for release. Our stepped core intercooler is available in raw aluminum or black and can be installed at home in less than 30 minutes. We tested it on the dyno back to back to log intake temps and the results are below. The baseline intake temp was 89 degrees and by redline the temp had climbed to 144 degrees fahrenheit. We immediately installed our intercooler and with a baseline intake temp of 96 degrees the temperature only rose to 118 degrees at redline. The stock car saw a gain of 55 degrees over the rev range compared to 22 degrees with our intercooler installed. Ambient air temps were 84 degrees and humidity was 67% here in sunny Miami. We test fit and inspect all units after production before shipping. Before each unit is boxed we attach our signature plaque of authenticity with a stamped unique serial number. We guarantee 100% fit and finish with these intercoolers and they're designed to install quickly and easily. Here's a photo of a raw aluminum intercooler installed on an F32 435i |

Awesome work. I might have to get this when my M2 comes in!
How much does it run? You say it's 30 minutes to install. My guess is that you just remove the plastic panel under the car and the intercooler is visible from there? |

That's correct, once the plastic panel is removed you have access to the intercooler. The intercooler is held in place by two torx screws. You need to disconnect the charge pipes that are connected by a single spring clip and then remove the two torx screws and then the stock intercooler will slide right out. Installation is the opposite of the removal. Quick and easy. I can't post pricing in this section of the forum but it's on our website and available from any AA dealer.

Our M2 intercooler is ~19lbs. I haven't put the stock one on the scale, but it is definitely lighter than our all aluminum one. The plastic end tanks on the stock cooler make it pretty light. I'll weigh it tomorrow and let you know.

On the same scale our stock intercooler weighs in at 8.2lbs.
We haven't noticed any increased lag or delay in spool time with the intercooler installed |

Interested and was looking at the info specs. It says " Our stepped intercooler helps to maintain power over extended periods of time and will also yield a gain of 15-20whp on stock cars, with modified vehicles seeing 25+whp gains."
Is the 15-20whp typical or you mean only when compared to a stock intercooler set up running over extended periods of time? |
