CSF is proud to release the world’s first and industry exclusive BMW F90 M5/F92 M8 High-Performance Charge Coolers – developed alongside long-time R&D partners.
CSF is the world leader in BMW air-to-water charge-air cooling technology. From its experience starting with its industry-leading one-piece S55 Charge Cooler, to then developing the world’s first Charge-Air Cooling System for the F1X M5/M6, CSF applied several different features exclusive to its manufacturing technologies to create its newest and most innovative Charge-Air Cooling System for the F9X M5 and M8.
This new design truly tested the engineering and manufacturing capabilities of CSF, with over one year of development and several prototype revisions to achieve absolutely perfect fitment into an engine bay with only a few millimeters to spare – a true plug-and-play system requiring no modifications to install.
The weak OEM crimped-on plastic end tanks have been replaced with CSF’s larger, CFD analyzed, 100% TIG-welded cast end tanks. The top side of CSF’s Charge-Air Cooling System now features air inlet tanks with seamless integrated charge pipes versus the OEM plastic charge pipes that are glued to the intercoolers. Like the previous F1X model, CSF has again integrated dual 1/8 NPT ports into the outlet side air tanks for quick and easy installation of aftermarket methanol injection systems. The side-specific positioning of these ports have been designed and strategically placed directly into the post-intercooled charge-air stream for maximum performance.
Before finally releasing these new charge coolers to the market, CSF worked with a BMW shop to install, verify perfect fitment, and conduct performance testing on two of the world’s fastest and most powerful F90 M5 Sedans.

Finishes
CSF’s new F90 M5/F92 M8 Charge Coolers come standard in an OEM+ Crinkle Black or Raw Finish. Custom finishes are available for an additional cost.
Below are example finishes we have produced in the past on other products in our industry-leading line of BMW Charge-Air Coolers.
I need the BENGAL RED GLOSS
Do these charge collers fit as a replacement for the n63 in the m850i coupe?
Hi Dasky,
These will not fit the N63 found in the M850i. We have not seen a lot of demand for charge air coolers from the 50i vehicles. If that changes we may consider developing them.
Hey Guys,
I have a BMW F90 2019. I wanted a CSF Charge cooler/Charge Pipe but I wanted to see if I can get it custom. I saw one dipped in Carbon Fiber and fell in love. Let me know if something like that can be assembled and let me know the pricing so I can order this. If you have any other questions you can call me at 917-776-9393.
Thanks
Danny
Hi Danny,
Sorry for the delayed reply. While we do offer a wide variety of custom finishes on our charge air coolers, the Carbon Fiber dip is only available on the 8082. We have tried in the past to make the dip finishes work on other coolers but the design does now allow for the finish to come out well. The company we use for these finishes will not perform them on these coolers and we do not recommend attempting to get it done. If you did wish to try, we would be willing to sell you a raw/unfinished set of 8178 Charge Air Coolers for you and you can try to find a company that thinks they can make the finish work well.
Hello,
I have an X5M (2017 F85) I was wanting to know if you are developing charge coolers for this model?
Thanks you.
Chris
Hello Chris,
I apologize for the slow reply. We do not currently have charge air coolers in development for the F85 X5M platform. We are continually developing product though and if the demand is high enough it is possible we may develop some in the future.
