Most modern BMWs are notorious for their cooling system issues, often leaving owners stranded or causing irreversible engine damage in the event of failure. At the heart of these issues is the coolant expansion tank-a crucial component responsible for holding hot engine coolant under high pressure. Unfortunately, BMW chose to manufacture the factory E46 M3 expansion tank out of plastic. After years of exposure to high temperatures and chemical-laden antifreeze, the plastic degrades, eventually weakening enough to rupture. With this failure in mind, Turner's team of BMW enthusiasts set out to develop the ultimate solution for E46 M3 owners: a robust expansion tank built to last! Constructed from durable 5052 TIG-welded aluminum, this tank withstands high temperatures and pressures without deteriorating over time. Unlike the OEM molded plastic tank, Turner's alternative is not prone to cracking, leaking, or weakening. With Turner's Heavy Duty Aluminum Expansion Tank Kit, you'll never experience expansion tank failure again!

Paired with a modified geometry flywheel, the E34 M5 style clutch is ideally suited for most E36, E46, and others using the same powertrain. It checks all the boxes for essential clutch replacement features. While some aftermarket options may address slipping issues and worn-out clutches, they often sacrifice pedal feel, providing little to no resistance. A soft clutch not only kills the driving experience of your BMW but also reduces confidence when pushing the car to its limits. HP Description: Upgraded clutch kit to be used with E34 M5 architecture flywheels. Designed for factory and upgraded street car applications to handle up to 375 Ft/lbs at the crank.

The Turner Motorsport Performance Chassis Mount Short Shifter removes the shift carrier assembly entirely removing any prospect of flex caused by bushings or driveline movement. By contrast, this chassis mount shifter offers a drastic reduction in shift lever travel, vagueness, and side-to-side play. An elevated base allows for moving the fulcrum point upwards, resulting in a much shorter and more precise throw. Shift times are further reduced by a tall, "rally style" shift lever, used to aid in leverage while also bringing the lever closer to the steering wheel. Turner's design incorporates a proprietary centering spring design, which is adjustable for increasing or decreasing self-centering force. In short, Turner's design eliminates all the drawbacks of your factory BMW shifter, translating to more control, greater precision, shorter throws, and faster shift times.

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

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.

Turner Motorsport control arms are designed in-house to be a longer, stronger, and lighter weight upgrade to prep your car for aggressive driving or the track. If you're overhauling the front suspension on your E46, this is the right move for you! RACE kit provides +10mm more track width (per side) than stock. DRIFT kit provides +65mm more track width (per side) than stock. 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 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!

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.

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.

Complete the look of your E46 M3 with Turner Carbon Fiber or Gloss Black Exterior Upgrades. Turner offers the full lineup or Front Lip, High Kick Trunk Spoiler & Rear Diffuser. These upgrades are engineered and designed in-house to follow the curves and lines of the body to offer a more aggressive look that matches the factory appeal of the iconic styling of E46 M3. These designs are exclusive to Turner Motorsport and will be sure to turn heads!

The wait is finally over, if you have been driving your E46 M3 around with stock exhaust or are looking for your final exhaust setup, we have you covered! Welcome to the world of ingeniously designed exhausts that can meet your every driving need. The new E46 M3 catback Exhaust from Turner is a stunning example of engineering and art with sounds to please your ears and a sight to remember.

Shedding 19lbs or more from your factory exhaust, featuring mufflers designed explicitly for the S54 this exhaust is able to provide two completely different driving experiences.

The factory E46 thermostat housing is a combined unit featuring a plastic housing and a built in thermostat that you cannot replace separately. These plastic all-in-one units are commonly know to crack or fail causing a headache. This unit not only converts your plastic housing into a billet aluminum unit that will not crack but also swaps out the integrated thermostat for a replaceable thermostat. The ability to swap out thermostats separately from the whole housing opens up doors to changing thermostats to different temperature ratings based on your application while also providing lower maintenance costs. The days of buying full replacement thermostats are over!
