The CSF High-Performance Auxiliary Radiator (#8258) is a premium cooling upgrade designed to replace the restrictive and aging factory auxiliary radiators on BMW F8X M3, M4, and M2 Competition models. As vehicles age and power levels increase — especially during track or spirited driving — stock coolers can struggle to maintain optimal fluid temperatures. CSF’s auxiliary radiator addresses this with a larger, high-efficiency core and stronger construction that boosts heat dissipation and helps delay heat soak, improving thermal stability under load. Its drop-in design, robust aluminum build, and integrated rock guard make it both a performance upgrade and a long-term reliability solution.
Designed for BMW F8X M3 (2015–2018) — including CS & Competition variants.
Fits BMW F8X M4 (2015–2020) — including CS, GTS, and Competition models.
Compatible with BMW M2 Competition (F87, 2019–2021).
Sold individually — most applications require two radiators (one for each side).
Drop-in fit: mounts in factory locations using OEM quick-connect inlet/outlet fittings — no modifications required.
CSF High-Performance auxiliary radiator with 2-row core.
Detachable rock guard for front-end debris protection.
Factory-compatible mounting hardware.
