At ECS Tuning, we're proud to release our in-house designed and engineered High Flow Intercooler Pipe Kit! Each kit comes standard with mandrel bent, powder coated aluminum plumbing from the turbocharger to the throttle body, as well as upgraded silicone couplers, stainless steel T-Bolt clamps, and all installation accessories for an easy, direct bolt-on installation. The factory turbocharger outlet pipe has serious restriction right out of the compressor outlet due to it's small diameter tubing and irregular obstructions. We've improved this charge pipe by providing a smooth transitioning silicone coupler right off the turbo outlet, which carries boost pressure to our carefully evaluated larger diameter intercooler pipes. The upper intercooler pipe features a CNC-machined and TIG welded mounting flange for the aluminum mounting bracket to allow for OE-like fitment. Similar to the turbo outlet pipe, the factory intercooler outlet pipe leaves much to be desired. We've improved this charge pipe by providing a silicone coupler off of the intercooler outlet, which carries boost pressure to our larger diameter tubing throttle body pipe. The ECS intercooler outlet pipe features a CNC-machined and TIG welded MAP sensor mounting flange to allow for direct fitment. We've also included a smooth flowing silicone throttle body hose coupler to complete the transition from stock to our upgraded kit.

This left and right plastic cover mounts over the wiper cowl on the front windshield and has an access panel flip up for the brake fluid reservoir and the other side has the battery cover. Great for a replacement to restore that section. The integrated rubber seal at the top each side that touches the window tends to deteriorate over time. These trim panels include that seal on each side. (Note when these start to deteriorate it looks like a separate seal, but it is part of the main plastic piece.) Restore the look of your faded cowl section.

BMW's first and only DCT, the Getrag GS7D36SG, is highly regarded by enthusiasts for several reasons. Its lightning-quick shifting, heavy-duty durability, and engaging driving dynamics make this the perfect transmission for high-performance applications. However, high-performance use stresses the importance of high-quality fluid, cooling, and filtration. Unfortunately, the Getrag's plastic oil pan and low fluid capacity excel at none of the above. The team at Turner Motorsport has designed a permanent, high-performance replacement for the flawed OEM pan: a cast-aluminum, increased-capacity upgrade that enhances cooling and durability. Its all-aluminum construction provides a significant upgrade over the OE plastic pan, which is prone to cracking when impacted by road debris. Engineered for those who demand more from their vehicle, the Turner Motorsport pan increases fluid capacity to promote superior cooling and help maintain optimal transmission temperatures, even in the most demanding conditions. To ensure a leak-free seal, Turner engineered a heavy-duty Viton gasket specific to their transmission pan design. The Viton material provides exceptional reliability under high temperatures and resists deformation common failure point of the factory rubber gasket. For further protection, integrated magnets actively attract and hold metal debris that could otherwise compromise the transmission's longevity. This innovative design keeps your fluid clean and extends the overall life of your drivetrain. Whether your DCT-equipped BMW serves as a track car or a highway cruiser, this pan ensures your transmission remains cool and efficient, minimizing the risk of overheating and wear.

Ditch the bulky mid-pipes and resonator, cut backpressure, and let your engine breathe! Unlock smoother sound and better performance with a Turner X-Pipe. Factory exhaust pulses exit each cylinder individually, creating turbulence and backpressure. An X-pipe merges those pulses into a single, balanced flow, reducing restriction, improving response, and delivering a cleaner, more refined exhaust note. Pair it with a performance rear muffler for maximum gains. BMWs straight-six engines are known for their trademark rasp and metallic tone. Turner's mid-section with an integrated X-pipe transforms that character, smoothing out the harshness and letting your M54 sound its best. Each kit includes fresh hardware for the downpipe connections and high-quality exhaust sleeves for a perfect fit to your factory rear section.

Protect your oiling system with confidence with our ECS Stainless Steel Oil Pan! Able to handle more abuse than the original pan while retaining major ground clearance and increasing oil capacity simultaneously. If you've ever worried about rocks or debris in the road compromising your oil pan, this is MUST HAVE PROTECTION! Not just another aluminum pan susceptible to cracking, our pan is beefy! Made from 11 gauge (1/8") T304 stainless steel and then 100% TIG welded and pressure checked for a perfect seal. To further ensure optimum sealing capacity, the mounting flange is thick, laser cut from 3/16" thick T304 stainless and then post machined and checked for flatness to our tight tolerances. Added strength and modularity is added into our design with six sturdy side gussets that are welded to the side walls and mounting flange surface. A welded-on M14x1.5mm bung converts your Evo4 engine to a standard, easy to use drain plug with our included ECS Magnetic Drain Plug. Factory provisions for the OEM oil level sensor are retained for direct, plug and play functionality. Topping off our pan is a laser cut "ECS" logo in the front corner for a subtle finishing touch. Increasing oil capacity and ensuring oil temps stay in the safe zone were incorporated into our design. By bringing the sump further forward we were able to utilize more volume, approximately 1.0 - 1.5 Liters of added oil capacity, which helps extend oil service intervals and maintains more consistent operating temperatures.

BMW's S55 uses a unique water-to-air charge air cooler. While this cooler is located inside the intake manifold, it relies on a front-mounted heat exchanger for heat dissipation. Many enthusiasts have found that this heat exchanger is a limiting factor when it comes to extracting more horsepower and torque from the twin-turbocharged-platform. Its single-row, 27mm core is quick to heat soak, resulting in sky-high-IATs and subsequently sending the DME into limp-home-mode. To solve this issue, Turner Motorsport has-designed an all-aluminum, performance-oriented heat exchanger suitable for street-focused, high-horsepower builds, track-oriented vehicles, and everything in between. To improve upon the factory design, Turner engineers started by addressing the weak, failure-prone plastic end tanks. Constructed from durable 5052 aluminum and TIG-welded for added strength, these end tanks are guaranteed to outlast the factory design. Additionally, the end tanks feature CNC-machined billet aluminum hose connectors, flanges, and brackets. This ensures seamless integration with the factory hoses�and mounting provisions, providing a trouble-free fit and effortless installation.

If you're pushing your S55-equipped BMW to the limit, keeping it cool is crucial. While most enthusiasts focus on upgrading the radiator and water-to-air intercooler systems, the engine oil cooler is an overlooked yet critical component. New for the F8X-generation M2, M3, and M4 is a low-slung, horizontally mounted oil cooler that leverages aerodynamics to create a low-pressure zone, increasing the overall efficiency of the oil cooler. While this design offers sustainable oil cooling for street-driven vehicles, the undersized core quickly reaches its limit on modified or track-driven cars. Additionally, its exposed position leaves it especially vulnerable to damage from road debris, meaning a small scrape can necessitate full replacement. If you're already replacing your oil cooler, why not upgrade? Turner's team of engineers set out to improve upon the factory design by engineering a larger core that restores lost efficiency and offers measurable improvements in thermal performance. By increasing the core thickness by 7% over the factory unit, this upgraded design improves airflow efficiency through the cooler, helping maintain lower and more consistent engine oil temperatures. What's more, its robust bar-and-plate core design, sheet metal end tanks, and 5052 aluminum composition, this cooler is built to take abuse. Whether you're replacing a tired OEM unit or upgrading for peace of mind, the Turner Motorsport High Performance Oil Cooler is a must-have reliability upgrade for your F8X BMW.
