Here's a picture:

We do offer the lower charge pipe replacement pipe for 09+ cars so I don't see why this wouldn't fit a N55, I just haven't been able to confirm it personally yet.

We have a couple sets going out to N55 guys who are willing to get us a few pics to let us know what we need to do in case it doesn't bolt up to the chargepipe, worst case it's just a coupler that needs to be supplied

Tiago, as soon as its confirmed ill be ordering one. I don't see it on the site after quickly looking. What is the best route to order the 5" that's "set up" for n55?

Bmwbreed · 03-22-2013, 04:12 AM

Hope mine shows up today. If it does for sure going on tomorrow. As long as it fits.

I guess it would help if I looked at the dropdowns....

I take it I would need to order the charge pipe upgrade?

Bmwbreed · 03-23-2013, 07:57 AM

+1.

FOACAD · 03-25-2013, 04:38 AM

Tiago, if this works without issue, could we possibly get a group buy going specifically for the N55 guys in your possible new customer base?

I have a feeling once there is confirmation you will have a pretty noticeable increase in sales.

I know I want one, and there is a guy in the euro section over here in Germany too that will most likely want one. Then there is the additional 3 or so that have said they want one in this thread. Maybe a deal for the first 5 or 10 with the money or something?

Cozy · 03-25-2013, 04:58 AM

Out of interest, why is the CP upgrade an option for '09+? I thought that the 09 was still N54 so how come an '08 wouldn't need it?

Ivan_Sal · 03-25-2013, 11:37 AM

I'm waiting for the VRSF N55 Charge pipe to go on pre-sale. I received mine on friday and I am anxious to get it installed with the replacement pipes.

Tiago@VRSF · 03-25-2013, 11:38 AM

The 09+ models use a one piece S shaped lower charge pipe which can't be used during the install whereas the 07-08 models use a two piece charge pipe that can be used with most aftermarket intercoolers.

We just ran a group buy that ran for about 3 months and I'm having trouble keeping these on the shelf at the normal price. We do offer discounts for anyone who purchases multiple VRSF products though, so if you're interested in our upcoming chargepipe we can discount those two

I did install my VRSF 5" intercooler last night. My car is an 08 135i N54 and all I can say is wow what a great product, fitment was perfect....i did not cut a thing other than the 2 permanent hose clamps..

A difference meaning lower temps, or increased performance? you should also let us know how it performs after a few pulls at WOT

torresfe · 03-25-2013, 10:20 PM

I can only said as of now increase in performance, engine rev a lot easier at higher rpm..
It has being raining and cold for the last couple of days. So i can't do a WOT pull without braking traction. Lol..
