Why does your F8X need a heat exchanger?

Your F8X will produce 425 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque from the factory. Add additional performance, and you’re susceptible to higher intake air temperatures (IATs). Higher power can mean higher intake air temperatures, and insufficiently cooled air entering the F8X motor will decrease its performance potential.

The stock charge cooler system rapidly heat soaks when subject to power pulls at 30 second intervals. By the sixth pull, IATs have climbed to over 130°F! In other words, without an upgraded heat exchanger, you’re susceptible to heat soak, giving up some of the gains you’ve made from other aftermarket power upgrades.

The ColdFront. Keeping things cool in the heat of battle.

Cue the AWE Tuning ColdFront Heat Exchanger. Swapping the stock heat exchanger for the engineered AWE Tuning ColdFront Heat Exchanger not only produces cooler and more stable IATs (peaking at just over 115°F after six power pulls) but also solid run-to-run consistency.

When taking the tests to the track, 0-100 mph runs show the AWE Tuning ColdFront Heat Exchanger dropping IATs from start to finish, keeping the incoming air to the F8X motor cooler than stock, even while at idle, thereby reducing heat soak.

The AWE Tuning ColdFront Heat Exchanger achieves better results than stock by presenting a 24.4% larger frontal surface area while also increasing fluid volume by 125%. Further, the construction of the AWE Tuning core utilizes specially designed tubes and fins. More surface area and better fin aerodynamics for superior heat exchange, and higher thermal reserve through increased liquid volume ensures IATs stay low and power stays consistent and ultra-reliable.

Partnering with Griffin Thermal Products.

Having Griffin Thermal Product assemble our F8X ColdFront product line was a must considering the success of our ColdFront System for the Audi 3.0T. Their history, established influence, and continuous involvement with top level professional motorsports, including NASCAR’s biggest race teams, speaks volumes. Liquid to air heat exchanger construction requires leak-free results, or catastrophic engine damage can occur. Trusting a partner to do their job has never been so easy.

Structural integrity fit for any challenge.

The AWE Tuning F8X ColdFront Heat Exchanger meets rigid conformity through precise TIG welds, and vacuum brazing ensures a stronger, more durable unit. The F8X ColdFront Heat Exchanger is also reinforced with a special high temperature epoxy that provides additional tube-to-header strength and helps prevent vibration leak failure, a process which is Q-1 approved--one of the toughest quality standards to achieve in the industry. Quality manufacturing that can’t be found anywhere else, backed by AWE Tuning R&D, that your F8X will appreciate. The F8X ColdFront Heat Exchanger is engineered to provide lower IATs at all times--from docile street driving to heavy track use. Be merciless, it can take it.

The F8X ColdFront Protection Screen.

The AWE Tuning F8X ColdFront Protection Screen is the solution for guarding the full face of the F8X ColdFront Heat Exchanger from road debris. Constructed from a durable stainless wire mesh and surrounded by a stainless steel frame, it protects against any small objects that may find their way past the vehicle’s grille. This screen keeps the heat exchanger fins free of damage, allowing them to perform with maximum efficiency.

The bottom line.

The AWE Tuning BMW F8X ColdFront Heat Exchanger is a meticulously engineered and guaranteed proven solution to heat-based power loss in the BMW F8X platform. Boasting a 125% increase in fluid volume, 24.4% increase in frontal surface area, and resulting IAT drop of 15°F. Enabling the full potential of the BMW F8X...now.

Important installation notes.

Installer will need a 1 liter bottle of BMW coolant (P/N 82 14 2 209 769) for filling the heat exchanger.

Pieces missing, poor instructions, would not buy again!
Let's start with the good news: I did, eventually, get the shelves hung after a trip to the hardware store and some trial and error. Now for the bad news: * One of the screws holding the brace to the shelf was missing, making the shelf wobbly before I even hung it. * The directions for hanging the shelves show a different anchor than the one that comes packaged with them. This anchor will ONLY work in sturdy drywall and it's going to leave a huge hole behind. * The directions tell you to flip the shelf upside-down to position and mark the screw holes, BUT that means the sides of the shelf are reversed, and the hole positions do not match on each side. So if you start hammering or drilling based on those marks, they don't align and now you have extra holes in your wall. Honestly, I regret buying these and wish I'd just chosen a free-standing shelf instead. But I made it work for me, so I guess there's that.

Solid Floating Shelves 🛠️🏠
Color: Black, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 15.7in
I have installed four sets of the black floating shelves in my office. They are made of high quality materials, featuring a sophisticated black woodgrain finish with a natural texture. Supposedly, each unit can handle up to 22 pounds, though I would not recommend testing that limit with your vintage bowling ball collection if you value your flooring. They are awesome. The value is good for a set of two. Each shelf measures 22x7x1 (56x17x3 cm) inches, providing a decent amount of storage for books or decor. The installation was straightforward since the hardware for multiple wall types was included. They work well in the kitchen for spices or in the bedroom for personal belongings. One tip for a secure fit: use a level during installation and make sure the bracket is flush against the wall before sliding the shelf on, or your photos might look like they are sliding off a mountain 📐 These shelves offer a clean, modern look and stay stable once mounted correctly. They are a practical choice for adding functional display space to any room 🖼️

Good looking shelves and easy install - skip the included drywall anchors
Color: Black, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 22in
I installed these shelves in a bedroom to get things off my dresser and some decor. Once mounted they look really nice. The black finish looks clean and modern and they blend in well with the room. Installation was pretty straightforward. The metal bracket mounts to the wall first and then the shelf slides over the bracket. As long as you take your time lining things up it’s a simple project. One thing I strongly recommend is not using the white plastic self-drilling drywall anchors that come with the kit. I’ve used that style before on other projects and they tend to strip out easily and leave larger holes in drywall. I used better anchors instead and the shelves mounted much more securely. The rest of the hardware worked fine and once installed the shelves feel solid and hold items well. Pros - Clean modern look - Easy installation - Feels solid once mounted - Good size for books or decor Cons - The small level included isn’t very accurate — use your own level - One of the metal brackets was slightly bent out of the box but straightened out easily Helpful tip: Use your own level and better drywall anchors if you have them. It makes installation easier and the shelves will mount much more securely. Final thoughts: For the price these are nice looking floating shelves that install easily and work well for light storage and decor.
