Do you have questions about this product?
The R2P 10.5-liter intercooler is a high-performance heat exchanger designed for turbocharged BMW 1 Series, 3 Series, and X1 vehicles. It reduces intake air temperatures after compression, increasing oxygen density entering the engine and improving power output, torque, and thermal stability. Particularly effective for spirited driving, track days, and cars running Stage 1 tunes or higher.
Features
- 10.5-liter capacity – significantly larger volume than the stock intercooler, delivering much more efficient intake air cooling.
- Low-restriction design – optimizes airflow, reduces pressure drop, and improves turbo response.
- Lightweight aluminum construction – enables direct installation (plug & play in most cases) without adding unnecessary weight.
- Advanced heat resistance – built to withstand extreme temperatures and maintain performance under maximum load.
- Anti-corrosion finish – protects the intercooler against moisture and environmental exposure.
