In the same test, the ARM 5\" intercooler held intake air temperature to 106°F — 45° cooler — and averaged 25whp and 27wtq on ARM's own test car. Cooler, denser intake air is what lets a tune hold its timing and power under sustained boost instead of pulling back to protect the engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 5\" stepped core is almost 47% bigger than OEM, and the upgrade installs without any irreversible cutting or trimming to the bumper; the OEM crash bars and bumper pads stay in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eImportant Compatibility Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis intercooler fits N54 and N55 E-series BMW 135i and 335i.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eChoosing Your Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinish is cosmetic only and does not affect cooling performance.
