M5/M6 vs X6M/X5M coolers

Hello,

I have seen something really interesting on instagram... I have tried to contact the guy that have did this but did not receive a whole answer about this but it seems like m5 coolers are much bigger than the x6m coolers... so what if we change ours to the big coolers on a stage 2 tune??

Below are photos none are mine but its from Ramon performance and the owner.

Ramon does have the fastest X5M to date so I would trust his judgement when it comes to the platform. Is there any video?

I wonder what was needed. CSF said it's not possible to use their upgraded M5 coolers on the F85/F86 platform.

there is not much room on F85/86 to utilize M5 intercoolers, when I compared both of my cars even stock intercooler on M5 looked bigger bulkier.

m5 intercoolers + intake manifolds and some other bits and pieces is what will be needed, have to figure out how a few hoses go and replace one or two here and there but this looks like it fits pretty well here.

planning this for my e70 cool to see it others do it and confirm it fits
