CSF BMW M5 (F10) / M6 (F06/F12/F13) Twin Charge Air Coolers

The S63 4.4L twin-turbo V8 responds incredibly well to bolt-on upgrades, larger turbos, and performance tuning - but pushing power on this platform quickly exposes a real limitation. Increased boost drives charge air temperatures past what the factory charge-air coolers can handle, resulting in dangerously high intake air temperatures that limit both power and reliability. CSF's Twin Charge Air Cooler Set was developed specifically to hold up to extreme boost levels while keeping IATs firmly in check - the world's first cast end tank design for this platform.

Using CFD analysis and testing, CSF built the largest charge-air-cooler that could physically fit in the factory location: a 28% increase in core size per side compared to the OEM units. The top/bottom, cross-flow, dual-pass core configuration delivers 2-stage water cooling for maximum efficiency and genuine intake temperature reduction, while cast aluminium end tanks with internal dividers create a design that's both more aerodynamic and considerably stronger than the OEM's construction. Designed using 3D scanning and rapid prototype technology for precise fitment, it installs as a true drop-in, plug-and-play upgrade with OEM-style quick-connect water connections and sensor ports.
