VRSF would be my go to due to the HD core. It essentially will make IAT increases non existent.

My only concern is the bracket.

Are the brackets available yet?
VRSF support told me brackets are included in the X3 intercooler package.

Brackets aren't garbage. It's user installer issue more than likely.

alternative idea, for those of you set on stepped intercoolers = buy any other f30 intercooler and make your own brackets

I believe going this route will save the buyer about $100?

(the phoenix one, for example, is $329 where as the vrsf one is $419)

that's a great idea but performance wise the vrsf is one of and if not the best. whole data thread in another forum showing it. anything is an improvement but depends on overall goals.

Anyone know whats going on with VRSF intercoolers being in stock? Seems like the delivery date keeps getting pushed back further and further.

Want to buy the VRSF intercooler for my x4 m40i.

Do the retaining lugs for the fan actually fit ?

Is the problem with the mouting-brackets already fixed ?

It's still the best IC but nothing fits lol. It likely never will lol. So either accept that or get a different ic.

My install went just fine. I had my shop do it and it was plug and play.

The shipping and import costs are just a pain.
I will try to mill the brackets myself and get a 5" or 7" intercooler from Phoenix.

Thanks for the feedbacks
