KiayUiey Black Aluminum Intercooler — F20/F22/F30/F31/F32

Constructed entirely from aluminum, this intercooler addresses one of the key weaknesses of many factory BMW units: the plastic end-tank design that becomes brittle and leak-prone over time and mileage. The all-aluminum core and end tanks handle thermal stress more reliably, while the black finish resists corrosion in the exposed underhood environment. With a core measuring 19.8" x 8.2" x 8.2" and an overall footprint of 26.4" x 8.2" x 8.2", it fills the factory location without any trimming, adapters, or custom fabrication.

Fitment spans a broad cross-section of F-series chassis: BMW 1 Series F20 from 2011+, 2 Series F22/F23 from 2014+, 3 Series F30/F31/F34 from 2011+, and 4 Series F32/F33 from 2013+. Both petrol engines — including the 116i, 228i, 320i, 328i, 335i, and 435i — and diesel variants such as the 118d, 120d, 320d, 330d, and 435d are supported. If you're running a tuned M235i or simply nursing a leaking 316d back to health, the same intercooler fits both without compromise.

For DIY installers, the direct-fit design means no guesswork — swap out the old unit, reconnect your charge pipes, and you're back on the road. This is a practical, cost-effective solution for restoring lost boost pressure and cooling efficiency without paying dealer prices for an OEM part or sourcing an expensive name-brand upgrade when a reliable replacement is all the job calls for.
