Looking for intercooler

Hi guys!

Anybody runs aftermarket intercooler on the street?
I was thinking to upgrade from the stock one, but nowadays you can't even buy one if you don't prove that your car is only for racing.

What do you mean? "..you can't even buy one if you don't prove that your car is only for racing."

I have a CSF TMIC with less than 500 miles if you're interested. You don't have to prove anything to me to buy it either. Lol.

For example, I wanted to buy it from bimmerworld, but they called me after purchase order and asked for pictures of my race car before actually sending the intercooler to me.

It is probably California law, other states might not have these restrictions.

I am running one of those cheaper ebay top mount intercoolers and no fitment or issues with it, had it for close to a year already.

It is not CA law. Intercoolers are the same as upgrading a radiator. They are perfectly legal to purchase and upgrade in CA.

Bimmerworld just sucks.

Go through any other site. Extreme Powerhouse, Turner Motorsport, IND, ECS Tuning, Kies Motorsport, Mod Bargains, Top Gear Solutions, etc... Or go direct to the manufacturer of the intercooler you want.
