Intercooler upgrade advice on a 35i

I have this and very pleased.
Excellent build quality.

I dont think the larger stepped intercoolers like this are really necessary unless youre making 450bhp+, but it doesn't do any harm to have one bigger than you need.

That’s actually looks like very good value and as you say it can’t hurt esp if you’re going to remap.
