DESCRIPTION
Upgrade charge-air cooling with the do88 Intercooler. ICM-280 fits BMW 1/2/3/4-Series (F2X/F3X) 12-18 / BMW M2 (F87) 15-18.
This is a self-developed performance intercooler from do88, designed for an easy drop-in installation in BMW F20, F30, and F87 models.
Significant advantages of the do88 performance intercooler compared to the BMW M2 OEM intercooler:
- Greater core volume: 15,208 cm3 (OEM 6,831 cm3); 123% larger
- Airflow at 0.15 bar / 2.18 psi pressure drop: 490 CFM (OEM 414 CFM); 18% higher
- Lower post-intercooler air temperature under identical conditions: do88 35°C (OEM 57°C); 22°C lower
- Fits all vehicles listed below
This intercooler is engineered to deliver maximum cooling efficiency under demanding conditions. Manufactured entirely from aluminum with continuous welds, it guarantees reliability and durability when it matters most. The increased core volume improves cooling efficiency and reduces intake air temperatures.
As with all do88 performance products, this intercooler has undergone extensive and demanding testing throughout development. No compromises have been made. It is fully optimized for the available space, ensuring true drop-in fitment.
The 123% increase in core volume is a significant and clearly noticeable improvement. The engine pulls harder throughout the rev range and maintains consistent performance during repeated full-throttle runs without heat buildup.
The common belief that an intercooler upgrade is only necessary after major engine tuning is misleading. Even on a completely stock vehicle, repeated acceleration, spirited driving, or operation in warmer climates can quickly raise intake air temperatures to levels that reduce usable power. OEM intercoolers often lack the cooling capacity required to maintain consistent performance.
With the do88 intercooler installed, excess heat is effectively eliminated, ensuring that engine output remains consistent whenever throttle is applied. Power is there when you need it, every time.
This intercooler is supplied with everything required for a straightforward installation, with no cutting or permanent modification to the vehicle. All bolts, washers, and detailed mounting instructions are included.
Take care of your engine. Choose do88.
