Mishimoto Air to Water Intercooler Kit, BMW M5/M6 2012-2016

Expert's advice:

The Mishimoto Air to Water Intercooler Kit for the BMW M5/M6 2012-2016 increases the core volume by 37-percent compared to the stock coolers. Using their extensive knowledge of heat transfer, the Mishimoto team designed an extremely efficient bar-and-plate core which provides optimal cooling and a 10-percent reduction in airflow restriction. During in-depth testing, they recorded 24-degree drops in intake temperatures and power gains of 25 WHP/22 WTQ on a stage-1-tuned M5. They also saw better timing as a result of cooler intake temperatures, which provided more consistent, higher power output.
