Featuring a permanently mounted magnet that traps ferrous metal bits suspended in your oil. These Titanium Magnetic drain plugs trap tiny particles that are unable to be caught by your oil filter. This leaves you with a cleaner engine, and ultimately less unneeded wear on your engine bearings and oil pump. Manufactured of 6AL-4V Titanium, the Turner M12 magnetic drain plugs are much stronger than any 7075 or 6061 Aluminum drain plug out there. Turner M12 magnetic drain plugs also capture many metal particles from wearing or recently rebuilt engines.

As your M52 or M54-powered BMW ages and endures winter weather, your Crankcase Ventilation System might experience some negative effects. If you don’t let your engine warm up to operating temperature before a drive, then the condensation in your CCV can cause cracking and failures that result in oil leaks. Keep your M5X engine leak-free and functioning as it should by refreshing your CCV system with help from our DIY videos and inclusive kits!

The M54 engine, produced by BMW from 2000 to 2006, saw wide use in 3, 5, X, and Z series cars. Over time, the engine gaskets can harden and deteriorate, which reduces their ability to keep oil inside the engine. This deterioration is most common with the valve cover gasket, and replacing it is critical to maintaining your M54 for a long and healthy life.

Changing your Audi, BMW, or Volkswagen's oil on schedule ensures your engine will live a healthy and long operational life. While changing your oil might be straightforward, those who regularly do it themselves likely find the little annoyances that make it more trouble than it could be. With our new Schwaben Thread-In Oil Funnels, you can quickly thread this funnel into your oil filler cap for a hands-free and mess-free result when you pour in that new liquid gold. Make services easy for yourself and you'll begin to enjoy them even more!

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.
