Just to make sure; we are talking about the 1M ic that was highlighted in this earlier post of a member here, aren't we?

"Papi: just keep in mind if you go with the Forge, def specify the 1M! They have a different version for the 1M which sadly is a bit more pricey than their N54 generic one, you want the former for no cutting/trimming, if you get the N54 'generic' you'll need to do some trimming. I'm heavily leaning towards Forge given the reviews and seeing its fabrication/craftsmanship, all others that require no cutting seem to scream a bit of Made in China to me... Let me know if it is something you wanna do soon, maybe we can bundle an order and get better pricing."

Have been monitoring IATs on JB4 hijacking the oil temp gauge, IATs have dropped 15C, consistent with what Aussie found. The air temps are about 34C where I live right now!
Thanks for posting ! It is a bit difficult to read though: what gain could you expect from the intercooler alone ?
Sorry about the poor picture quality!

The gains of about 35bhp and 25Nm were made with the intercooler being the only part that was swapped. That's with the JB4 on Map 6.

I wouldn't know how much the intercooler would make if everything else was stock.

Yes, that is the product the group buy is for, the 1M/N55 335i intercooler from Forge.

No I definitely want to keep the grill in. I like the grill, it gives it a finished look and I dont want logos sprayed on my FMIC (I dont like that aftermarket look). I just like a big beefy chunk of aluminum filling the lower bumper space.

Thanks for the pics though

A-, I didn't start up the GB because the PSI guys are able to get better pricing than I was likely to ever muster. So I am gonna jump on their offer.

And the price can get even better than that if there will be at least 15 people in...they say!
