The installing part was a bit hard cuz you have to cut all the plastic in the front then do some custom piping and brackets took about 3Hours but its worth it

Alex_750whp · 11-22-2010, 12:04 PM

ill put more pics when i get home of the install

moveswiftly · 11-22-2010, 12:31 PM

Maybe it's the pic but everyone loves it in person

I would have put some mesh or something between the FMIC and the bumper... it looks a little too ricey. Otherwise, grats on the upgrade!

BSM 135i · 11-22-2010, 03:15 PM

I know I got the size and made one in the shop

ErvGotti · 11-22-2010, 03:34 PM

There's some good data on N54 tech showing great drops in IAT's with this FMIC vs Stock. Though I'd try to put mesh or somthing in the front, it just looks to ricey for me sorry. Great IC though

Focusedintntions · 11-22-2010, 03:34 PM

Maybe i'm misreading something here...but how can the fmic be custom made and also be the same one other people are using??

It's a generic core with custom fittings to fit in the 1er. All other intercooler upgrades available for the 1 series are pre-fabbed.
