17118742618 Cover | G38/G12 LCI Intercooler Protection System
17118742618 Cover | G38/G12 LCI Intercooler Protection System
17118742618 Cover
Optimize airflow management and protect critical components with the precision-engineered 17118742618 Cover, designed specifically for 2021-2022 LCI models of G38 5 Series and G12 7 Series BMW vehicles. This intercooler cover assembly ensures optimal thermal regulation while maintaining factory-clearance specifications.
Product Description
Engineered for LCI-updated luxury vehicles, the 17118742618 Cover provides critical protection for turbocharged powertrains while optimizing charge air cooling efficiency. This comprehensive assembly features BMW-specific contouring that follows the engine compartment's complex geometry without compromising service access. Reinforced polymer construction withstands underhood temperatures exceeding 120°C while resisting oil and coolant exposure. Strategically positioned ventilation channels direct airflow across intercooler surfaces to maximize heat dissipation during spirited driving. Precision-molded mounting points ensure vibration-free installation without modification to factory mounting hardware. Protective shrouding prevents road debris intrusion that could damage cooling fins while maintaining aerodynamic efficiency at highway speeds. The cover's textured surface finish resists discoloration from heat cycling and simplifies maintenance cleaning procedures. Compatible with both standard and M Performance packages, this solution maintains critical clearances to turbocharger components and exhaust manifolds. Integrated cable routing channels prevent wiring harness contact with hot surfaces while providing strain relief at connection points. Optional installation hardware kits include factory-spec fasteners and thermal-resistant gaskets that simplify the restoration process for professional technicians and enthusiasts alike.
