On your E90, E91, E92, or E93, your rear toe arms are fixed. This is fine for your BMW if your suspension is stock, but as soon as you lower it, you are going to be out of spec. With the new Turner Motorsport Rear Adjustable Toe Arms, you can bring you suspension settings back into spec even with an extremely lowered vehicle. These arms are critical if you want to maximize the effectiveness of your BMW’s handling and prevent premature wear.

Doing a cooling system refresh, or just replacing worn out and soft old hoses? Why settle for stock when you can get the added life and heat tolerance of silicone hoses?

As these vehicles age, the differential bushings tend to show signs of stress and deterioration resulting in bushing deflection and excess drivetrain movement. The differential sits directly between your gas pedal and the wheels, so these bushings play a critical role in the responsiveness of your drivetrain.

We are now proud to introduce the Turner Motorsport Quick Steer and Angle Kits for your BMW to help you kill it on the street and track with confidence.

Believe it or not, when servicing your BMW transmission, the original plastic transmission pan has to be replaced due to the heat cycling and conditions it is exposed to during its service life.

This new heavy-duty transmission pan is sturdier and better in every way so it can be the last one you’ll ever need on your BMW.

Our bushings provide a more enhanced driving experience by removing unwanted movement from the driveline.

Our Bushings are engineered to withstand extreme driveline forces, so you can always count on them to perform in even the harshest conditions.

Updated in 2021 for easier install. Still the same quality you're used to, but now in an easier to install package. The rubber "U" shaped hose connecting the water pump to the thermostat is a well-known failure point. The hard bends in the stock hose always end up cracking and leaking, but since the water pump thermostat assembly is tucked up above the subframe, it can be difficult to pinpoint the leak. When you upgrade your OE rubber hose to the ECS aluminized silicone hose, you don't just get a longer lasting, more flexible hose, but also one that's better suited to withstand high
