Loud tunes and a long time in service cause the cones and seals in speakers to deteriorate, especially in an automotive application. If your highs aren't as clear and your lows aren't as full as befits a BMW's audio system, look no further. HiFi and Harmon Kardon components are Genuine BMW branded products, so factory fitment is guaranteed. No matter which original sound system your E46 sedan came with, both options are plug-and-play. Revel in improved resolution, chimier treble, and more defined bass with a full set of Genuine BMW HiFi or Harmon Kardon speakers. Hear hear!

Finally. Cooling system service solutions for BMW. Kits that fit your car, its needs, and your budget. Heat-hardened hoses and plastic pipes are a nightmare in the making on high milers.

We have a cure: Three different service stage kits to match your wallet and vehicle condition. Check your system, then order a service package sure to cure what ails it. ECS, specializing in Easy Cooling Solutions.

Change is good. Simple is better. ECS bumper sidemarkers let you dump those frumpy orange lenses for smoked or clear upgrades. Affordable and easy to install, this is the kind of project you can do easily on a Saturday afternoon, and still have time to watch the ball game. (If you've stopped looking back at your car as you walk away, maybe its time to rekindle the romance.)

If you own a 3 Series, you're probably familiar with RSBS (Rear Shock Blowout Syndrome). This widespread condition affects many 3 Series cars, and is caused by a congenital weakness in the rear shock mount design. Symptoms include knocking over bumps, pogo-sticking, poor handling, and shock rods poking their heads above their normal installed height, looking for a mount to hold them steady. Good news. We have the cure. Install our all new reinforcement plates, or grab our complete upgrade kit with plates and heavy-duty mounts. Don't suffer with RSBS. Get the Cure.

Trying to assemble a complete LED lighting kit for your interior, one bulb at a time, can be a frustrating experience. Bulbs sourced from different manufacturers commonly vary in brightness, and commonly have different color values. Some won't fit the bulb holders when you get them; others trigger false bulb-out alerts on the dash. That's why interior lighting kits from Ziza are custom assembled for your make and model, then tested repeatedly with hand-picked LED arrays to assure uniform appearance. Each kit has its detailed photo tutorial to make light work of your installation.

You've hit the jackpot with the Schwaben European Essentials Tool Set. Never again will you be cursing the unique fasteners on your European automobile.

Our aluminum wheel hanger makes it easy to remove and install wheels. Just thread the hanger stud into a wheel bolt hole and hang the wheel safely while you rotate tires or remove them for service or vehicle repair. It's also great for keeping wheel bolt holes aligned on cars with spacers. Our improved hanger is made of 6061 aluminum, anodized for hardness and good looks. The knurled, non-slip handle has a drilled hole so you can hang it on a pegboard hook in your garage. Better still, order two: one for your garage and another for the emergency tool kit in your trunk.

Don't settle for a new water pump for your N52; demand a "wasserpumpe" from Germany, by Pierburg. The N52 coolant pump is not belt-driven. Electrically operated, it allows faster engine warm ups and saves horsepower. Problem is, when it quits, your engine overheats--right now. Prevent overheating. If your N52 water pump is making warning sounds, head off trouble. Install a premium Pierburg "wasserpumpe" and avoid the inconvenience and substantial expense of an overheated engine.

The road is filled with hazards, lying in wait, ready to pounce. Rocks. Cans. Bottles. And some mystery thingy that just dropped off the dump truck ahead of you. Don't let your E92 3 Series suffer from some crash-in-the-pan piece of debris. Replace your tattered or missing belly pan with a new one and keep harmful hazards, road salt, and debris at bay. This direct-fit panel bolts in place using the factory attachment points, and comes with fresh hardware for a secure, lasting installation.

Schwaben Go-Through Screwdrivers might at a glance appear to be functionally identical to those contained in other sets - upon further inspection, it becomes obvious that these tools are built to an exceedingly high build standard, and are uniquely designed for extreme durability. The Go-Through design means the metal driver shaft extends in through the handle of the tool, instead of dead-ending at the grip. This gives the driver a better weight, feel, and increases the effectiveness and durability of the tool.

A failed air injection pump is more than a noisy annoyance. Bad pumps store a fault code and turn on your check engine light, a sure way to fail your local emissions test. Dying pumps don't go quietly. As they fail, they make a loud buzzing noise, audible shortly after a cold engine start up; continuing for a minute or so after that. Our secondary air pump kits contain a new pump, control valves, and hoses so you can put your air injection system back to normal, eliminate all that racket, and turn off that pesky dash light.

If an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, imagine what 224 ounces of BMW synthetic oil can do for your engine. Keep your Bavarian motorcar running like a fine timepiece with regular oil change services, and head off costly cures caused by neglected maintenance. Our service kits are conveniently packaged to include seven quarts of OEM synthetic motor oil and a fresh filter cartridge, plus seals and gaskets. For added protection, add an ECS magnetic drain plug that attracts and holds ferrous particles so they don't abrade close tolerance engine parts.

You might get there without a spare--then again, you might not. There's no good place for a flat tire, but some spots are worse than others. Think two-lane highway. In the dark. Miles from help. Maybe you'll get lucky. Maybe the puncture is small and repairable. If not, you can always thump down the road on a run-flat, hoping the next full service station shows up before your fillings come loose. Get there safely with a Euro BMW spare tire kit that includes spare tire, jack, wheel chocks, and lug wrenches. Special tire bag and tool carry case keep things tidy until you need them.

Most of us have to admit to sleeping through a chemistry class--or two--after a rough night. The good news is the Chemical Guys didn't. Now they've put the power of Raw Science to work in a complete professional detailing car care line that combines surface-safe cleaners with lasting protectants and sealers. Stop squirting dish detergent into a bucket. Remove the toughest dirt, even from alloy wheels, and restore your car's exterior and interior finishes to a rich, lasting luster.

You won't believe the difference an LED lighting package makes in your car until you see it with your own eyes. LED illumination is a far brighter and friendlier light, crisp and clean, especially when compared to the dingy yellow glow from conventional filament style bulbs. Now you can do a complete LED conversion using our BMW E46 3 Series LED Interior Lighting Kit. It contains all the LEDs needed for a total lighting upgrade. No need for guesswork or complicated ordering of individual bulbs.

Creak. Moan. Shimmy. If any of these words apply to your RWD BMW suspension, we have the cure. Don't just fix your car, make it better with a meaty rear control arm kit, straight from M Series cars.

Car repair is dirty work, and sliding around in an oil spill is no fun. If you're tired of cleaning up spills with old socks and kitty litter, we have a new and better way. Pig Mat products have long been a favorite in professional repair shops that can't afford to track grease and oil onto costly car mats and carpeting. Made of durable, layered polypropylene, Pig Mats catch and hold most common fluid spills until you can throw them out. While you're here, check out our video on Form-A-Funnels, a great way to avoid spills in the first place.

Brake your car, without breaking the bank. Improve braking performance with an ECS Tuning Big Brake Kit. Bolt on larger rotors, standard finish or GEOMET slotted or slotted-and-drilled. Then mount your original calipers away from the spindle centerline with the kit's larger caliper frames for added mechanical leverage and shorter stops. No need to cough up extra bucks for a set of larger calipers, and you can go on buying readily available standard sized brake pads. Lower price. Less expense. Surer stops. Win. Win. Win.

Tired of sitting on your sunglasses or having them fall off the dash onto the floor? Where you step on them. And break them. Crunch. Here's a simple but elegant solution: Hard to find original equipment sunglasses holders in several colors. No need to change your interior, just mount them in place of the existing ceiling grab handles where they'll look like factory originals. Look at it this way: the holders pay for themselves the first time you don't mangle your new Ray-Bans.

We decided to take a good thing and make it better. Our trusty BMW jack pad adapter has been a longstanding favorite with BMW owners who like to jack their cars safely and easily. Our newly upgraded BMW jack pad adapter builds on the success of the old one, with added features that make it stronger, more durable, and even easier to use. Full-seam welded for added strength, the new adapter is black zinc coated to resist rust, with a revised insertion end that slides into the jack port with less effort. Its longer length places the jack head farther from the body for added safety.

Fender liners protect your inner fender metal, sidemarkers, and all wiring and components housed inside the fender from ice, salt, and road hazards. Eventually, the abuse takes its toll, however, and the liner plastic tears and pulls loose, leaving your inner fenders defenseless. Now you can replace your fender liners with complete kits from URO that include a fresh flexible, vinyl liner, weather seal for the fender lip, and all mounting hardware. Easy to install, these affordable kits are a wise investment that pay for themselves quickly by heading off costly damage.
