Front splitters/lips are an important aerodynamic upgrade that not only change the look of your car, but also helps to create downforce, improving your vehicles overall handling at higher speeds. This can often make it hard to justify spending copious amounts on money on a part who's days are numbered, especially when being installed on a vehicle that sees both track and daily driver use. Till this day, there are very limited front lip/splitter options available for the E36 BMW enthusiast.

In the world of custom builds, the farther you stray from bolt-ons, the less likely you'll find a solution on the shelves that will fit and work exactly as you need. That's why we've launched our Universal Exhaust System program that helps provide you with the same high-quality stainless steel exhaust piping and accessories so you can tailor your spent gas exit to your needs with a brand you trust.

Our ECS Tuning in-house designed and engineered Functional Aero Rear Wing Kit is an all-in-one solution to providing your car with more downforce necessary to improve rear tire grip for improved handling. Our well thought out kit includes all of the components necessary for a comprehensive install and feature top-tier quality components for long term durability, such as the carbon fiber wing, billet aluminum mounting brackets and uprights, Delrin decklid shims and black oxide stainless steel hardware. The spoiler has an adjustable AOA (angle of attack) between 0� - 20�; to perfect downforce:drag ratio. The end plates are adjustable for aerodynamic needs and the Delrin decklid shims provide for a flat plane to bolt onto your trunk, if it has a sloped angle.

If your BMW has a plastic expansion tank and it is still intact after years of heat cycling, consider yourself lucky - however, it is not a question of whether or not it will fail, it is a question of when it will fail. You can tell your significant other that this is "cheap insurance" against being stuck on the side of the highway. Story from our BMW Brand Manager: After a track event, my plastic expansion tank blew up on a three hour commute home - my wife was not happy sitting on the side of the highway waiting for a tow. I am certain that she would have been much happier if I installed the Turner aluminum expansion tank before the event.

ECS had a productive first half of the year with several new performance aftermarket components for your favorite European cars. Our new parts for your BMW include everything from simple cosmetic upgrades to awesome performance pieces. Check out our full line of new products for your vehicle!

Turner Motorsport control arms are designed in-house to be a longer, stronger, and lighter weight alternative to expensive (and boring) OEM replacements. If you're overhauling the front suspension on your E36, this is the right move for you! Turner�s race kit provides +10mm more track width (per side) than stock. Wider track width reduces the amount of load transfer to the outside when cornering, increases cornering power, and allows more inner clearance for meaty wheel and tire setups or brake ducts. Turner�s drift kit provides 65mm more track width (per side) than stock. This kit creates clearance for 60 degrees of steering angle when installed with our Turner angle kit and rack spacers. Their Roll Center Correction Race Kit corrects your roll center and improves handling, it also provides increased steering response and bump steer correction. Thanks to the use of their rack limiters, you can maintain the same steering angle as before, while drastically decreasing steering wheel input. After the kit was installed on a E36 M3 test vehicle equipped with a Z3 2.7 turn lock to lock steering rack, it only required 2 full turns lock to lock. A reduction of 26%! Bump steer is also correctable to virtually 0, thanks to spacers to adjust tie rods up or down. Z3 2.7 Steering Rack will require different rack spacers (see ES4213307). When you lower a car, it drastically changes the geometry of the suspension. While lowering a car makes it handle better by lowering the center of gravity, the roll center is negatively impacted, increasing the roll moment, which causes cornering forces to have more of an effect on the body roll of the vehicle. This is normally ignored because the stiffer lowering springs make the issue less noticeable, but ultimately grip is lost, and body roll is increased. Once the roll center has been corrected it is immediately apparent how much the performance of the vehicle had been suffering prior. By correcting the lower outer ball joint location with the Turner Roll Center Correction Race Kit, the instantaneous center of rotation is raised, bringing the roll center much closer to the center of gravity, and significantly decreasing roll movement. This minimizes body roll, provides more grip, and ultimately leads to an improved and predictable driving feel.

The Turner Motorsport E36 skid plates are the last skid plates your E36 will ever need. In-house engineered to fit E36 M3 & Non M bumpers. The main skid plate includes frame-mounted support brackets for maximum strength. Manufactured using 10GA 5052 Aluminum for the main plate, the frame supports are made from 9GA 5052 Aluminum. Not only does this skid plate provide superior impact resistance, it also maintains the factory wheel liner mounting positions! All stainless hardware for install is included.

The Turner Performance Adjustable Clutch Pedal is a rigid design that gives you the ability to fully adjust your clutch feel and performance. With both upper and lower adjustments this is the best pedal on the market to fine tune your clutch pedal just the way you like it. The upper eccentric provides an adjustable pedal ratio to fine tune clutch pedal effort(how heavy the pedal feels). The lower adjustment is to change the position of the clutch assist spring, this allows you to choose where the clutch assisting spring engages. Changing where the spring engages will move the area of tension on your clutch from lower, middle to higher for maximum adjustment.

If you live in an apartment or you can't get your car up on ramps or stands but want to change your oil, then this is exactly what you need. This tool enables you to drain from the dipstick tube and refill like normal, without getting under the car or fighting with drain plugs. Not only is it convenient it's also efficient: most cars leave oil in the pan when being drained from the plug�sometimes up to a half quart. The extractor, however, can reach this remaining broken down fluid to make room for even more uncontaminated lubricant. Extract the extra work from the job.

As accurate and responsive as the factory E36 steering and handling is, reliable and measurable improvements are possible through simple upgrades. The ECS Tuning Strut Bar is a lightweight aluminum addition to the factory BMW suspension design, increasing chassis rigidity and steering response. By connecting the left and right strut towers together, cornering forces are less likely to upset suspension geometry, resulting in a more predictable and precise driving experience.

Like many of the top tier coilovers, these coilovers feel as smooth and comfortable as a stock setup, while giving you an aggressive look and vastly improved handling, all at a fraction of the price!

Lowering your vehicle provides several proven advantages in handling performance. Many enthusiasts, however, ignore the issue of disadvantageous suspension geometry changes resulting from a lower ride height. Stock components allow slight changes from the stock, but they often are not able to properly align the car after the suspension has been modified. ECS Adjustable Rear Control Arms allow for over 8 degrees of adjustment. Street & track enthusiasts will appreciate this needed measure of adjustability.
