Like many BMWs of the same vintage, the turbocharged N55 platform is no stranger to ignition system problems. Notorious for causing misfires, reduced power, and rough idle, the factory pencil-style ignition coil is a known weak point. In addition to its reliability issues, the factory coil pack lacks the output required for supporting performance modifications and software upgrades. While many ignition upgrades boast increased spark energy and durability, all fall short of the venerable B58 ignition coil. After years spent researching and developing the ultimate solution for N55 ignition system issues, the team of enthusiasts at Turner Motorsport is proud to offer the last ignition upgrade you'll ever need�the B58 Ignition Coil Conversion Kit. WHY UPGRADE? B58 ignition coils provide up to 2.3 times more spark energy than OE N55 pencil-style ignition coils, effectively eliminating misfires even on high-performance setups. Whether your vehicle is heavily modified or completely stock, these ignition coils deliver unparalleled performance with zero downsides! For tuners, the Turner Motorsport kit also allows for precise adjustments to ignition dwell time through compatible tuning software (MHD, BM3, etc.), giving you complete control over your engine�s performance.

The factory-installed plastic gears in S65 and S85 throttle body actuators are prone to degradation due to constant mechanical stress, vibration, and heat cycling. After years of use, internal actuator gear wear leads to excessive play, improper throttle response, and eventual failure�often triggering DME trouble codes, limp mode, and DSC malfunctions. Replacing both throttle body actuator assemblies can prove expensive, and replacement units will experience the same failure in due time. We've engineered a high-quality replacement for the internal actuator gears to solve this issue. ECS Upgraded Throttle Body Actuator Gears are constructed from durable Teflon-reinforced nylon, safeguarding gear teeth from wear and ensuring long-term reliability.

If you're experiencing misfires, poor fuel economy, reduced engine power, or ignition-related DTCs, a failing ignition coil is the likely culprit. The S85's MSS65 DME�uses a unique ignition system known as�"Ionic Current Control". During engine development, BMW realized that standard knock sensors were insufficient for observing�pre-ignition and misfires on a high-revving ten-cylinder engine. In lieu of standard�knock sensors, Ionic Current Control uses each spark plug as a current probe, applying a low voltage to the electrode immediately after the power stroke and sending the resulting current to the Ionic Current Control Unit (ISS) for evaluation. To accomplish this, the S85 used a modified "pencil" style ignition coil, which eliminated the Zener diode in the secondary winding for accurate current measurement. These ignition coils are manufactured to the exact specifications of the OE Ionic Current Control-compatible ignition coil, and will not trigger ignition-related fault codes in the DME.�

Some of the biggest issues when owning a BMW can come from cooling system components. Failure is seen with the plastic fittings and adapters from years of hot to cold temperature fluctuation. The N52 engine sees failure at the plastic adapter connecting the thermostat hose to the cylinder head, this adapter simply shears off at the end of the barbed fitting. Our engineering team decided a billet aluminum piece was a much better option to contend with the temperature fluctuation.

The N5X family of engines marked the start of a new era for BMW. The all-new aluminum block powerplants featured a host of technical upgrades, aiding in power output, reliability, and performance. Among these technological advances is an external electronic water pump, which removed load from the engine's accessory drive and allowed for advanced pulse-width-modulated (PWM) control. From factory, the N52's electronic water pump is limited to a measly 200W output and strong enough for daily driving, but lacking in performance applications. Recognizing this shortcoming, our engineers set out to create a high-flow water pump upgrade that doesn't break the bank. Our high-quality adapter wiring harness and bracket allow you to install a 400W N54 water pump without any modification, an effortless, yet effective upgrade that doubles the output of the factory water pump! By increasing coolant flow capacity, the 400W pump improves heat extraction from the cylinder head and engine block during high-load operation. This added thermal headroom is particularly beneficial for modified engines, sustained aggressive driving, track use, or operation in elevated ambient temperatures where the factory pump can operate near its limits. Improved circulation helps maintain more stable coolant temperatures and reduces the risk of localized hot spots.

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.

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!
