2011 e89 ER Intercooler

airwalk776 · 07-01-2017, 10:09 AM

Just received my ER Intercooler and charge pipe. Planning on installing it this week on a 2011 e89 35is. Anyone have experience installing it and can share anything learned? Anything to look out for? Anything you would have done differently?

There's a thread on this IC- search for it. IIRC you have to trim some of the plastic in front of the IC to get it to install.

And a extra set of hands helps regardless, as these get a little heavy after a few minutes...

Thanks guys. Install was rather easy just took my time and all the parts fit in there correctly.

For those interested in installing when installing the charge pipe make sure to take the rubber o ring from the oem charge pipe. At first I forgot to install it and the charge pipe was loose.
