Choose between our plain geo-spec coated, slotted zinc coated, or cross drilled and slotted zinc coated rotor designs! Our V5 plain rotor design is perfect for daily drivers looking for a reliable and affordable brake rotor option, and features a durable GeoSpec; silver-colored coating, which offers superior corrosion protection versus a painted or zinc coated rotor. This coating also eliminates the light oiling many manufactures utilize to avoid flash rust while rotors are stored or in transit: this means there's no cleaning or scuffing required to install ECS V5 plain rotors, making brake services quicker than that with uncoated rotors. Our V5 slotted rotor design provides excellent heat dissipation thanks to reduced pad out-gassing, meaning reduced brake fade. Slotting also reduces glazing, meaning consistently increased overall stopping power. Our 5th generation slotted brake rotor also features a sleek black zinc coating for a clean, contemporary look as well as superior corrosion protection versus an uncoated or black oxide coated rotor. Our V5 cross drilled and slotted rotor design offers even greater heat dissipation and improved wet-weather performance as compared with a slotted rotor, making it an ideal choice for high-performance driving enthusiasts. Our 5th generation slotted brake rotor also features a sleek black zinc coating for a clean, contemporary look as well as superior corrosion protection versus an uncoated or black oxide coated rotor. Pick the perfect set of pads, ranging from OEM replacement style to higher performance pad options. If you are looking for a specific brand or compound to get that extra edge on the track, contact our sales team today to discuss alternative pad options! All service kits include a care package that contains our stainless steel rotor set screws and two packages of brake grease so your installation goes smoothly!

We couldn't be happier to work with Donut Media on James' E30 325 swap project. Not only do we love seeing the E46 M3 engine stuffed into an E30, but we are also in love with James' custom touches that make his dream a reality. We helped refresh every corner of his E30, see our build list for details and check out the video on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yniDUsUljk4

The E36 M3 is an amazing looking car right out of the box but a common BMW issue is the height of the front vs rear bumpers. Dating as far back as the E30, BMW front bumpers have been much lower to the ground than the rear, and the E36 M3 suffers the same fate. This results in the rear bumper appearing incomplete, especially on lowered BMWs. Our add-on diffuser is a unique option for balancing out the rear bumper with the height of the front bumper for that level to ground appearance.

Only a hand full of E36 models came with a factory equipped x-brace and the factory x braces do not compare to Turner billet brace. The Turner Motorsport X-brace connects the subframe to the chassis of the car to improve strength, stability and reduce flex. With the added strength and rigidity you have a more solid connection for your engine and steering which results in a better steering feel and overall handling. Along with improved handling the Turner X-Brace covers the engine oil pan providing protection from damage.

The team at Turner are E36 enthusiasts and it shows. There was an immense amount of thought put into their new intake. Built from the throttle body forwards, the ground-up designed e36 intake offers a closed lid design that, when paired with the powder coated heat shield, keeps your intake temps cool, all while packaging neatly into the engine bay, ensuring your intake is working as efficiently as possible while looking as good as ever. Turners versatile intake includes all the provisions from the intake to the throttle body inlet, making every adjustment along the way to fit with whichever 6-cylinder USDM E36 you have, fitting all ASC and non-ASC, M and Non-M, and OBD1 and OBD2 variants.

Turner�s new E36 exhaust for the M3 is lighter, bolder, and gets right to the point. It utilizes slip fit joints that attach straight to your factory exhaust and feature integrated offset tips (with period correct styling of course!) this exhaust wastes no time or money.

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.

LIQUI MOLY is not only our favorite producer of lubrication and additive products, but they hold the title as the best oil producers in Germany: for seven consecutive years. A major part of any service is often a frequently forgotten one: using proper flushes and additives to ensure buildup and sludge are eliminated with maximum effect. LIQUI MOLY is a leading producer of oil additives, engine flushes, and fuel system cleaners, so we have picked out exactly which of their products your car needs to maintain peak performance at all times.

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.

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.
