It is air to water and it's integrated into the intake manifold, so no conventional upgrade available. BMS was/is safely making 450 whp on their 340i with just JB4, intake and meth (stock exhaust) so I'm guessing the intercooler is stout as is.

Same here.. I will like to find some cooling improvement parts. Possibly an extra intercooler and oil cooler.

I'd look into the BMW parts bin for the same engine.

Try looking at the X4 M40i for example it's more likely larger.

The stock intercooler system is pretty good actually. Id push the motor pretty hard and the coolant and oil temps stay pegged at 220-230 degrees. Never over that.

@Dinan_Engineering told me directly in email that they will not be doing an Intercooler, but possibly a heat exchanger and if then not for awhile.

Extra cooling is certainly needed if anyone living in a climate plans on tracking the car (and can actually push the car of course). When the car gets hot, it automatically shift to a higher gear and won't allow a down shift. Very frustrating.

not sure it makes sense to upgrade the CAC for M240. It's way to complicate.

I would just add another small radiator for low temp cooling circuit.
