Item is just as described, literally best upgrade I have done in the car.

Fits well with modifications, remove bar below intercooler, die grind off mounts for the bar to allow the new intercooler to fit. Also had to remove approx. 1 1/2″ of the plastic cowl inside the bumper that directs airflow to the stock intercooler and was finally able to push the new unit up into place and bolt in using the 4 factory mount points…. Perfect fit then.Also upgraded all the piping, boost pipe, lower charge pipe, and upper charge pipe to aluminum… Definitely upgradeQAnd face it you can’t beat the price of this unit which is a perfect match to VRSF model, dare I say the exact same….at half the price.

Intercooler fits perfect, however there are no instructions so you’ll have to use your head and bimmer knowledge/resources to figure this one out – It is not drop in, you may need to modify the cowl, I did anyway to keep it more OEM. There are brackets for the radiator you will need to remove to get this into place, I also ended up removing the front braces and loosening the from plastic piece and I also decided to remove the bumper which I’m glad I did. I uploaded my personal install on YT StickyRickyBimmer any questions feel free to comment over there but connections were spot on and got my E70 to Stage 2+ – Onto suspension upgrades!
