It says no cutting etc, but as it turned out Helix does require a bit on the 135i and the Wagner is supposedly a copy, so I have my doubts...
Technically yes, it is a 'copy' of the Helix but the direct fit Wagner intercooler is smaller than Helix's so fits within the space left behind the bumper. The larger Wagner intercooler is around the same size as the Helix and will require cutting. I think you're worrying too much over this, Wagner designed this intercooler to be a literal direct swap bolt-on and guarantee that in their ad...if it turns out you have to shave something then I'd say you're entitled to your money back. I've read threads of guys fitting this intercooler on their drive in 30mins.
