Hello, I am considering to upgrade the intercooler. However, after checking the existing factory one, above it is a black hard pipe across the air-con condenser which may obstruct fitting a bigger intercooler.

Members have faced such situation before?

The existing factory intercooler for F60 Cooper S

 

Has anyone confirmed if this blocks the fitment of an upgraded intercooler?

 

What was the end result? I’m starting the process of upgrading my F60 and I have that same piping.
