Show original supplier description
The CTS Turbo Mini Cooper S F54/55/56 Direct Fit Intercooler is engineered to overcome the limitations of the stock intercooler, particularly in hotter climates or during spirited driving when tuning has been applied. This intercooler boasts 51.9% more volume than the factory unit, leading to enhanced cooling efficiency, reduced pressure drop, and improved airflow. Simply remove the original intercooler and install the new CTS Turbo FMIC to experience noticeable improvements in power and consistency. This intercooler is compatible with a range of Mini Cooper models including the D, One D, Cooper SD, and Cooper S with engine codes B37, B47, B46, and B48, typically from 2014-2019. It also fits certain F chassis BMW 1-series (2020) and 2-series (up to 2020). It replaces part number 17517617598. However, it is crucial to note that this intercooler DOES NOT FIT the JCW Edition of models F54/55/56/60. Additionally, it is incompatible with engine codes B46C/B48C/B38C/B38B found in 2020+ LCI-models.
