When it comes to suspension tuning, especially in motorsport applications, adjustability, strength, and quality are all equally critical. Turner Motorsport, from years of experience at the highest levels of competition, has developed the single best solution for Non-M E8X and E9X RWD chassis with their new fully adjustable camber plates.

Extended periods of aggressive driving causes the amount of heat in the rotors to build up, & as the temperature of the rotors increase, the metal begins to expand. With solid rotors, this can lead to numerous issues such as warping of the rotors, unexpected cracking along the inner "ring" or friction surfaces, & increased brake fade. Turner's TrackSport rotors feature a full floating two-piece design & slotted grooves to allow smooth, consistent braking force & easy expulsion of gases & dust created by the brake pads & rotors under heavy braking.

Most BMWs come off the production line with less-than-ideal front camber to encourage understeer. This adversely affects handling and tire-wear by putting less of the tire's contact patch on the ground. The solution: add more negative camber. Turner Motorsport provides an ideal solution to easily add 2.5 negative degrees of camber to your E90, E92, or E93.

Some of the biggest issues when owning a BMW can come from cooling system components. Failure is seen with the plastic fittings and adapters from years of hot to cold temperature fluctuation.

Our engineering team decided a billet aluminum piece was a much better option to contend with the temperature fluctuation.
