Upgrading the heat exchanger - fully detailed DIY
All right yall, if you are going to upgrade your charge air cooling system, then you need to upgrade the heat exchanger as well! I saw many S55s (previous M motor) cars with JUST the charge cooler upgraded. While it was a visual upgrade, you weren't getting the full effect without the matching radiator to go with it.
The S58 is no different, that you should upgrade the radiator (heat exchanger) as well, and this might be a hint for the next upcoming project as well. Check out the excellent CSF Radiators heat exchanger from Kies Motorsports and let me walk you through the whole upgrade so you can do it too.

If this is your video why didn't you bother to track and provide data on the improvement to cooling with some temperature probes? Hell you could of even datalogged it.
How is one to know if this is actually worth anything?

So you have no idea of the efficacy of the part you installed?
Edit: To be clear, I live in hot AZ and intend to track. Would of loved if you at least plugged in an OBD scanner and documented the differences. Maybe something like this for your next cooling upgrade?
