VRSF Race Intercooler FMIC 2006 – 2018 BMW X5 & X6 E70/E71/F15/F16

VRSF HD Stepped Race Intercooler Kit

Fits: 2006 – 2018 BMW X5 & X6 (28i, 35i, 40i & xDrive)

Upgrade your BMW’s factory intercooler to the VRSF HD Stepped Race Intercooler Kit, engineered for high performance, superior cooling, and reliability—all at a great price point. This direct bolt-on kit significantly reduces intake air temperatures and prevents heat soak, enabling higher horsepower gains and improved engine safety by reducing the risk of knock and pre-detonation.

Why Upgrade Your Intercooler?

The factory tube-and-fin intercooler is designed for low boost levels and moderate airflow. When boost or tuning increases, the OEM intercooler quickly becomes overwhelmed, causing heat soak, reduced power, and increased engine knock risk—especially during extended spirited driving or racing.

Core Design & Performance

The heart of the VRSF intercooler is its ultra-high density bar and plate core featuring a staggered, offset high-density fin pack. This design maximizes cooling efficiency while minimizing pressure drop, keeping intake temperatures close to ambient even under sustained boost.

Real-world testing shows dramatic improvements:

• On a 54°F day with 20 psi boost, the VRSF intercooler limited intake temperature rise to just 2°F during a 2nd–5th gear pull, while the OEM unit saw an increase of 76°F.

The robust bar and plate core also provides increased durability and resistance to debris and rock damage compared to OEM tube and fin units.

Premium Construction & Finish

• 3D CAD-designed cast aluminum end tanks for optimized flow and increased strength compared to sheet metal tanks

• CNC-machined, seamless one-piece end tanks built for durability

• Finished in bright silver coating to resist corrosion and withstand harsh environments

• Pressure tested by hand for leak-free performance

• Compatible with both Left Hand Drive (LHD) & Right Hand Drive (RHD) and all xDrive models

Installation

This is a plug-and-play bolt-on upgrade requiring no cutting or modification. The kit retains factory fan shroud tabs and works with OEM or aftermarket intercooler piping designed for the stock intercooler.
