Picked up 335i -- thinking of doing a RMIC setup

dootlah · 04-18-2013, 01:55 PM

Roof mounted intercooler for those unaware.

It would look something like this:

Here's the 335i

RMIC, definite game changer.

This is what happens to people that see little sun.

I'm a bit confused on how I'll do the brackets. I do have some spare sheet steel (22 gauge) that I can stick weld. I have also been thinking about installing a bike rack and mounting the intercooler up there.

Why?

evo335xi · 04-18-2013, 02:42 PM

I hope this is a joke.

interesting setup. looks dumb, but i bet its functional. its a lot better than putting it up on the front where it will probably get less airflow, and the piping would be longer too.

drifters even have side mounted intercoolers, but im not sure if its common anymore.

Borisimo · 04-18-2013, 02:58 PM

Won't that get super hot in direct sunlight?

Doubles as a spoiler... strong move my friend

JAL0988 · 04-18-2013, 03:11 PM

Solid choice dude. Did this on my e93 in '08. Doubled as a role bar too.

Dark_Knight_335 · 04-18-2013, 03:36 PM

It's not practical at all, but boy does it more than make up for that in function. Don't be so quick to judge- or laugh.
For street use however, I would decline.

NGEE · 04-18-2013, 03:37 PM

Sick setup bro. I'd run the turbos up there too.

evo335xi · 04-18-2013, 05:14 PM

If our motors were back there too this would make sense. Another option for downforce also

cant tell if serious.

triger716 · 04-18-2013, 09:53 PM

Are you going to J-B Weld it up there?

Catalina Wine Mixer · 04-18-2013, 09:56 PM

lol fucking troll

smallseafishie · 04-18-2013, 10:28 PM

Maybe on a mr2 since engine is on the back end.

Does not make sense otherwise.
