Make sure you stay safely glued in your racing seat with Corbeau Racing Harnesses, now available at ECS Tuning! Safety on the track is paramount and Corbeau is no stranger to providing some of the most well-known track safety equipment. Attractive options allow you to coordinate with existing themes and are designed to keep you firmly stuck to your seat so you aren't sliding around your cabin while your BMW rips around the track.

Factory BMW seats offer a fairly comfortable ride and some of the sport seats do keep you somewhat planted, but if you are kissing apexes or sliding around a drift course, you need something with more support. We are now proud to carry Corbeau Racing Seats for your BMW to help keep you firmly, yet comfortably, planted in place for safer, better, and more engaging spirited drives.

Last year, we sent VW Brand Ambassador Jamie Orr on a trip all across the country in a pre-production MK5 Sportwagen we affectionately called the Rallywagen where it ended in the Arctic Circle. This year we picked up a VW MK7 GTI and decided to build it here at ECS to debut at SEMA and then head South to drive all the way to the tip of South America on some of the most demanding roads. Rallywagen 2.0 was fully constructed in-house by our team of engineers.

Turner has developed bushings designed to upgrade your driving experience while providing lasting quality for years to come.

The specially designed delrin insert also matches the OE profile of the control arm. This provides a smooth running surface for the poly, extending life.

Flushing brake fluid is a commonly overlooked maintenance service for most car owners. Fluid should be flushed every 1-2 years as a good service plan, however checking with the manufacturer's suggestions is best. A simple way to tell if the fluid is in need of a change is by looking at the color, new fluid will have a slight yellow hue while amber is the sign of a needed flush. Because brake fluid is hygroscopic, its designed to hold moisture away from the metal internals to prevent corrosion. Like a sponge the fluid can only hold so much moisture before becoming ineffective.

Your BMW has an interference engine, which means if the timing chain were to fail for any reason, you would have catastrophic engine damage due to valve to piston contact. Over time the timing chain will start to wear and stretch, potentially causing it to skip timing or just completely fail. Also, the timing tensioners themselves could fail! Early symptoms of timing chain wear include front end noise not associated with VANOS, or slapping noises coming from the timing cover. We have created the perfect solution for you. Everything you need to service your timing chain is included.

We have to talk to you BMW owners about something near and dear to our heart. The discount head unit from your local superstore isn’t fit for a car with the pedigree of your BMW, and that behavior needs to stop. Whether you just want updated capabilities like USB, AUX, and Bluetooth inputs or need to replace your old head unit, a VDO unit will fit your BMW with a vintage look that won’t ruin your interior like that multi-colored plastic thing that comes with a generic remote. Do your BMW a favor. Give it the radio that fits its feel and gives you all the convenience you need.

Aftermarket radio installations are rarely a plug and play operation. They usually require extensive wiring, additional adapters, and a dashboard trim kit. The result is a head unit that sticks out like a sore thumb and doesn't match the design of the interior. Bremmen's Android Multimedia System features an high definition capacitive touch screen and mounts into the same locations as the factory radio. The included wiring harness allows for a nearly plug and play seamless installation. The high resolution touch screen is a upgrade worth itself over BMWs with factory navigation.

Featuring a unique-to-Hawk slotting pattern paired with conventional cross-drilled machining, Talon rotors offer not just decidedly contemporary looks, but the features and benefits to back up those looks.

The importance of additives is still a relatively new concept, but it is certainly critical to preserving your engine the way it deserves.
