When the new M3/M4 was released in late 2020, it didn’t take long to see them hit the track. CSF’s Engineers and Motorsports department was in attendance for some of the first track days that local R&D Partners & Premier Dealers Studio RSR and Art of Attack took their new G8Xs to.
While this was true of the car in factory spec, those results changed when the cars were modified and started pushing more power. CSF quickly observed issues with heat soak in the charge-air system. This overheating of the intercooling system causes a spike in Intake Air Temperatures (IATs). Subsequently, the ECU started pulling timing which decreases power output. In extreme cases this can also send the car into limp mode. This problem became even more prevalent as testing continued into the hot summer months.

CORE DESIGN
CSF worked closely with race teams throughout North America such as Studio RSR, Art of Attack, and Velocity Performance as well as premier dealer Precision Sport Industries throughout the prototyping and development process. The feedback gathered from daily driving, track days, and competitive drag racing events has led to the best possible iteration of the Front Mount Heat Exchanger.
DESIGN & ENGINEERING
With well over 100 track hours worth of testing and thousands of miles on the road, you can be assured that the CSF’s new High-Performance Front Mount Heat Exchanger has been thoroughly tested and vetted.
CSF VS OEM
The CSF Heat Exchanger features a 2-Row (vs OEM single row) Core that is 42mm thick with CSF’s Exclusive B-Tube Technology. Increasing the size of the core and end tanks adds to the overall volume of the system which helps absorb more heat. The more efficient core not only helps dissipate more heat from the system, but also provides better airflow into the radiator that sits behind the heat exchanger.
The two included Black Rock Guards offer full protection for the heat exchanger (above and below the crash bar), especially when paired with aftermarket "open face" race style grilles. These grilles are quite popular for performance and aesthetics, and keeping your heat exchanger safe from debris is very important.
Thank you CSF and their team for always coming out with the best cooling products in the market. Not only do CSF mainlies offer CSF to CSF’s customers at Velocity Performance also CSF tested the new Heat-Exchanger and also the Transmission Cooler from CSF on CSF’s G82 AWD M4 Time Attack Car. CSF immediatelies shaved 2 seconds effortlessly on just a practice set of tires!! Can’t wait for the drop on all the other parts.
Thank you for always making the leading products in the automotive industry!

HOW CHARGE-AIR COOLING SYSTEM WORKS
CSF’s industry-leading reputation and deep knowledge of high-performance BMW cooling systems allowed its engineers to immediately identify the cooling weak spots on the S58 engine. The engine is very similar to the B58 in the A90 Supra and G-Series BMW 40i models. Both feature a liquid-to-air charge cooler manifold paired with a front mount heat exchanger (water radiator). The Heat Exchanger cools the fluid cycling through the charge cooler, dissipating heat from the system.
Because the charge cooler is built into the manifold, it’s extremely expensive to replace with a high-performance unit. The Front Mount Heat Exchanger is responsible for removing heat from the chair-air cooling system and is now recommended as a critical bolt-on upgrade.

Some items may require additional processing time depending on the specific product and current demand. Track your order any time at eurospeed.co/pages/track for a live delivery estimate.
Delivery time depends on the product. Most in-stock parts ship within days, while carbon fiber and made-to-order items may require production time before they ship. For the specific timeline on any item, check the Availability & Shipping section on that product’s own page — the guide below covers our general shipping types.
Shipping Overview
Depending on the item, free air freight may be available for select carbon fiber components, with estimated shipping around 1–2 weeks after dispatch. Larger hoods, oversized body components, and certain made-to-order items may require sea freight and longer delivery windows. If timing is important, please contact us at support@eurospeed.co before placing your order.
Shipping Coverage
EuroSpeed ships to customers across the United States and internationally. Shipping is included in the price of eligible products for your convenience and covers the initial cost of delivery to your destination.
Import duties, taxes, clearance fees, or customs charges required by your destination country are not included and remain the recipient’s responsibility.
Order Processing & Fulfillment
Every order is reviewed, processed, and prepared before shipment. Most in-stock products are processed within 1–3 business days, though some orders may take up to 5 business days depending on fulfillment location, product type, order volume, or courier pickup timing.
EuroSpeed stocks select high-demand products at our U.S. facility and international fulfillment centers. Because our catalog includes many vehicle-specific and specialty parts, not every product is held in-house at all times.
Some orders may ship through our trusted fulfillment network, which may include verified manufacturing partners, authorized distributors, regional warehouses, and international fulfillment centers.
- Orders may ship from a U.S. warehouse, international warehouse, manufacturer, or authorized fulfillment partner.
- Some products may require additional handling, processing, production, or quality-check time before shipment.
- Orders enter fulfillment shortly after being placed and may no longer be eligible for cancellation once processing, production, or shipment preparation begins.
Custom, Made-To-Order & Oversized Items
Custom, made-to-order, and oversized product categories may include carbon fiber steering wheels, hoods, trunk lids, fenders, front lips, splitters, side skirts, diffusers, bumpers, body kits, widebody components, select spoilers, rear wings, and other large carbon fiber components.
Many carbon fiber items are made to order. Some products may already be stocked and ready to dispatch when available, but if inventory is unavailable, your purchase reserves the next available production slot instead of waiting for a separate restock listing.
Production time: Production can take 1–4 weeks depending on product type, selected options, finish, current queue, and quality-control timing.
Shipping time: Shipping can take 2–10 weeks depending on item size, freight method, destination, customs processing, carrier delays, warehouse transfers, and final delivery location. Carbon fiber steering wheels typically ship faster, with shipping usually taking 3–7 business days after dispatch.
By purchasing custom, made-to-order, or oversized items, you acknowledge and accept the extended production, fulfillment, and shipping timelines associated with these products.
Tracking Updates & Delays
All orders receive a tracking number once generated by the courier. Tracking may take 2–3 business days after dispatch to show movement in the courier’s system.
Certain international, oversized, or freight shipments may show limited updates during transfer between fulfillment locations, warehouses, customs, or final-mile carriers. In some cases, tracking is provided or begins updating once the item reaches a regional warehouse, local carrier, or final delivery network.
Shipping timelines are estimates and are not guaranteed. Delays caused by high order volume, weather conditions, customs inspections, carrier disruptions, production queues, warehouse transfers, holidays, or other external factors may occur and are outside of EuroSpeed’s direct control.
