Most aftermarket boost gauges look like add-ons. The dial numbers and lighting don't match the factory gauges. Many use an afterthought mounting system that looks cheesy. We think your boost gauge should be easy to see & blend with your interior. That's why we've developed this boost gauge kit just for your car. The gauge design and lighting blend with other gauges to give it a classy, factory-installed look. We've even prepared a detailed photo tutorial outlining the installation, so the fun can start as soon as you open the box.

The symptoms are annoying. The costs can be painful. DISA valves control intake manifold runner length to improve engine performance at different rpm. When they fail, the DISA valve bangs around in its housing, making a rattling noise accompanied by rough idle and off-idle hesitation. If your BMW experiences these symptoms, don't wait to fix it. In some cases, parts of the DISA--including a metal spreader pin--can be sucked into your engine, causing serious engine damage. Easy to replace, your new DISA screws to the side of the intake and comes with pre-installed sealing gasket.

The BMW N54 engine relies heavily on adequate boost pressure to make its impressive power figures. Without a properly functioning boost/vacuum system, power loss, acceleration hesitation, and decreased fuel economy are all likely consequences.

ECS offers genuine OEM and Pierburg Boost Solenoid/Pressure Converters for the E60/61 535i/Xi swiftly taking care of this grisly prospect.

Massive rotors, multiple-piston brakes, and advanced pads are glamorous, eye-catching upgrades to your vehicle. But experienced enthusiasts know that all that stopping power relies on adequately bled brake lines. Your brake fluid is incompressible, like a metal; but air is compressible, so ridding your lines of this gas is imperative for fully realized braking power and response. ECS has an array of solutions to tighten up your braking system, including a Power Brake Bleeder, multiple synthetic Brake Fluid options, and a premium Schwaben Brake Bleeder Wrench.

The BMW N54/N55 engine is highly responsive to performance upgrades, particularly those that maximize the effectiveness of its advanced turbocharging system.

The N54 straight-six engine has earned several awards for engineering excellence; partly through novel turbocharging and advanced variable valve timing, but crucially, through second-generation piezo direct injection. This fuel injection technology relies upon the expansion of crystalline materials under the influence of electricity to inject fuel to exceedingly close specifications for superior control over spray characteristics. Genuine OEM Injector Replacement Kits are now available for your BMW E60/61 535i/xi, including 6 injectors, seals, and decoupling rings.
