New ECS DD23 Brake Pads & V5 Rotors | E46 M3
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
Turner E46 M3 TrackSport Rotors
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.
E46 M3 CSL Style Intakes by Turner
The E46 CSL M3 is world-renowned as one of the finest cars BMW produced. Covered with parts exclusive to the CSL model, the intake system is one of the most sought-after components for non-CSL owners. The performance rewards are just as great as the sound, a true symphony to an enthusiast's ear. The Turner Motorsport CSL Style intake takes the legendary BMW design and improves it, by altering and improving the OEM CSL airbox we have achieved a 20% increase in airflow of the factory airbox and also marginally improved flow over the BMW-designed CSL box!
BMW - TMS E46 M3 Catch Can - A/N Fittings
This kit features a Turner catch can, the perfect length A/N lines, and billet PCV adapters for seamless installation. The benefit of having a catch can on your vehicle has to do with how much oil vapor is being recirculated back into the engines intake system to be burned. This recycling process is used mostly for emission purpose to keep these harmful vapors out of the atmosphere. This catch can was also engineered for convenience featuring a dipstick to check the fill level and comes complete with a valved drain system.
New E46 M3 Street Flow Rear Diffuser
The E46 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 E46 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.

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.

Turner Motorsport E46 M3 Bump Steer Correction kit allows the front outer tie rod end pivot to be relocated, which can be used to correct bump steer resulting from modified caster or lower arm geometry, making your E46 M3 easier to drive and lowering lap times.

Excessive bump steer increases tire wear and makes the vehicle more difficult to handle on rough roads. Turner's Bump Steer Correction Kit includes multiple-size bump steer spacers for precise adjustment depending on your ride height to eliminate that problem. Not to mention these adjustable tie rods are Precision CNC machined making them INDESTRUCTIBLE. These will handle the abuse of racing and drifting.
Shirk's E46 M3 Build List
Ahh I finally found an E46 M3 after a multi-year hunt! Granted it was the cheapest, highest milage (192K) coupe with a true manual in the country but it was a great deal due to needing literally all the major maintenance. I picked this up as a COVID fire sale special where the guy needed to off load it for some quick cash. Immediately did subframe reinforcement, rod bearings, vanos and fluids all around before starting in on any modifications. It's true what they say... you either buy a 10-15K E46 M3 and put 15K into it or buy a 30K finished one right off the bat and enjoy it.
