Good Day Gents, can someone tell me what year did intercoolers become a stock item ? My 2015 F-56 has one, was it the purchase by BMW ? Do any of the R models have 'em stock ? I just wonder what year the factory included them in THE BUILD.

 

Factory intercoolers were included on all Minis with boost. 1st generation supercharged cars have a top mount that is fed through the hood scoop. 2nd generation turbo cars have a front mount intercooler. All 3rd generation cars have a front mount intercooler.

 

one thing I saw the other day was 2 different types of intercoolers. 1) air intercoolers & 2) water intercoolers. I assume we have air intercoolers ?
