Anyone have a picture or link to a picture of Evolution Racewerks front mount intercooler in black anodized finish on a BMW? Been looking and can't find one anywhere. Would like to see how stealthy it really is.

TIA,
Robert

It's a 135i but, here you go. Heaps more pics in the photobucket.

[DrRobert]

Very nice, thank you. Might have to get me one of those. How do you like it?

[Nugget]

Works well. It's gets pretty hot here and it seems to keep temps under control. Even while on track in the middle of summer.

Thanks, mate! Nice car, BTW.

Did you opt for the shroud? If so, how's the fitment?

[Nugget]

No I don't have the shroud.
You do have to trim a fair bit to get it to fit, at least you do in the 135i.
This is what it looks like with the bumper off.


and this gives an idea of how much you need to trim.

I had no idea you had to trim quite so much with the ER fmic. You wouldn't happen to have any helpful links showing a shroud install? I've searched and Google'd but can't find any...

got one with mine, but you REALLY can't see it thru my stock 07 335i bumper (which is why I went wtih the black in the first place, going for the sleeper look)

Nope sorry.

does it actually close off noticeable gaps between the bumper air inlet and fmic?

i'm not interested in how it looks but rather how it performs. that's why i'm curious to see photos of the fitment. to see whether it would in fact help direct air through the intercooler.

Gotcha... I'll try to snap some, but there's a shroud around it that directs air thru the intercooler, regardless of how "close to the bumper" the face is. So it's really a non-issue.
