PRODUCT INFORMATION

THE ULTIMATE COOLING SOLUTION FOR BMW F8X M3, M4, & M2 COMPETITION


The BMW F80 M3, F82/F83 M4 & F87 M2 Competiton are still regarded as some of the best performance platforms available. BMW’s S55 Motor has amazing potential for power and there are countless performance parts available for it. However, like most production engines, the S55 doesn’t come equipped from the factory with sufficient cooling capabilities to cope with added power or even prolonged performance driving. CSF have designed a full line of S55 cooling options to help you get the most out of your BMW F8X. The CSF Charge-Air-Cooler, Heat Exchanger, and Transmission Cooler will keep you ahead of the competition.


BMW F8X TOP MOUNT DUAL-PASS CHARGE-AIR-COOLER


The S55 suffers heavily from heat soak. Many tuners witnessed this early on after doing multiple dyno pulls and seeing significant drops in power after each consecutive pass. Many F8X owners experienced the same loss of power on the track as the engine just could not cool off during laps. The solution is two fold: The Charge-Air-Cooler & Front Mount Heat Exchanger work together to keep the intake temps down and power up. The factory units simply cannot dissipate enough heat to keep up with prolonged performance driving. Our Charge-Air-Cooler boasts a core size that is 60% larger, greatly increasing the capacity for heat transfer from the hot charge air coming from the turbos. Paired with the Front Mount Heat Exchanger the system is able to maintain lower intake temps and keep your BMW F8X’s power up.

The CSF Dual-Pass Top Mount Charge Air Cooler is a direct replacement for BMW part number 17517846235.

FEATURES

  • World’s 1st cast end tank designed top mount charge-air-cooler for the BMW S55 engine.
  • Multiple air dividers cast into both the hot/cold side end tanks for optimized air flow through the custom designed CSF liquid-to-air intercooler core (CFD analysis and testing completed to ensure optimal performance).
  • 60% increase in core size compared to the OEM cooler.
  • Left/right, cross-flow, dual-pass core configuration with 2-stage water cooling for maximum efficiency and intake temperature reduction (vs. OEM single-pass vertical-flow design).
  • Designed with 3D scanning / rapid prototype technology to ensure precise fitment and maximum surface area utilization.
  • “Drop-in fit” design for an easy & quick plug-and-play installation, complete with OEM style “Quick-Connect” water connections and sensor ports.
  • Finished with a Raw Aluminium finish (CSF8082R) or a professional "Crinkle Black" powder coat finish (CSF8082). Optional finishes also available for an additional cost.

                                Very Poor Built Quality
                                Color: Black, Size: 3-Panel
                                They use cheap tarp like cloth that you might find on a tent, so it is not suitable as a teleconferencing background without blur applied. The legs are flimsy and lack rubber feet, so it will scratch floors. The tubing is flimsy and very hard to move and adjust. This is only good if you are setting it up somewhere like a gym or a garage.

                                My kids love it. It separates their half of the room.

                                Great room divider
                                Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel-88''
                                This is a room divider and would work great as one! I’m using it as a cover for my car port/garage so you can’t look in and see my messy garage as easily and for what I’m using it for it’s a little not quite as sturdy as I need it to but I’m sure it’s not meant to be used outside anyways so I don’t fault the product since I’m not using it as intended… with that said though…. It still covers my garage beautifully and really does exactly what a I need it to! I’m sure the wind may blow it over if it gets too crazy but I don’t see it breaking by any means. The frame is metal and drilled together using long screws. It’s very well built. The cloth for the panels is this waterproof type material that’s kind of like the gazebo roof feeling. So it’s easy to clean and it’s easy to wipe. You can put it straight or bend the panels and either way it still stands up. You don’t HAVE to bend it to make it stand or anything. You can literally use it straight across like I am in the pictures. Overall very happy with this product and it’s also very tall so it truly covers a lot (hides a lot lol). I’m 5’8 so you can see it’s taller than me by the pic I took

                                OK. Drag to setup. Needs more stable feet
                                Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel-88''
                                I was glad to find these. The benefits of having them in a recording setup is helping suppressing noise for a vocal booth. It's a layer that surrounds the recording box. Nice! (But away from audio hardware or DAW). Here is the not so nice part: The feet! It's able to stand (as it needs to do this). But it cannot be bumped. If it does, it's coming down onto something. I believe the feet units are not wide enough (or long enough). That makes for an easier tumble risk. So far, they haven't, but it's like being in the woods over leaves - it feels dangerous with every step! (That's actually true). They are tall enough, wide enough, material OK. But the feet for the main assembly do not seem sturdy enough. There are ways to help that. I'm thinking a 2x4 to augment the base. Make them wider. It can be done. It was a drag to set these up, and I'm sure to modify them like i'd want them. But, they do come in at a much lower price that other similar dividers. Consider all this because I've seen more solid dividers ( with padding) that would basically be the 1/2 cost of these. But i'd think they'd be easier to assemble, stand sturdier, and without that feeling of an impending fall (or fail). This is my opinion. I hope it helps.
