Replacing cooling system components and performing a proper coolant flush will ensure a long life for your cooling system. Most of the cooling system components are exposed to very high temperatures and repeated thermal cycling. Heat-hardening causes warping and cracking that leads to coolant loss and possible engine damage from overheating. Avoid headaches altogether and replace all problematic items at once to keep your cooling system running efficiently.

Auto repair professionals understand the importance of properly torqued fasteners. Too tight, and the fastener may be weakened and break. Too loose and things come apart. Work efficiently and productively with digital torque wrenches and angle gauges, which enable you accurately to apply specific torque and angle adjustment. You can tighten nuts and bolts like a pro.

The Turner lightweight flywheel is designed to offer the perfect balance of comfort, smoothness, durability, and performance on any N54 powered vehicle. At 18.6lbs, 10 lbs lighter than stock, it offers significantly reduced inertia for quicker throttle response, improved rev-matching, and faster acceleration. However, unlike ultra-light aluminum flywheels it still offers a smooth idle, quiet operation with minimal increase to NVH, and smooth OE-like engagement for easy daily driver duty. When paired with an ACT clutch, you’ll get a more engaging driving experience.

Your 335 only has one weakness… the cooling system. The ultimate assurance that you won't be left on the side of the road with an overheated engine is to refresh all the major components at the first sign of any failure. In many cases, N54 engines last the life of the vehicle - meaning by this time there will be more wear and tear on cooling system components than predicted by BMW. ECS offers Cooling System Refresh Kits with varying levels of components for this very reason - Two stages of ECS-assembled and Genuine BMW kits are available.

Whether you're just driving to work or trying to set the best lap times, keep your tires and your wallet happy with K-MAC.

The three most critical and widely cited dimensions of your vehicle's suspension geometry - camber, caster, & toe-in - are what triangulate your wheels and position them to perform in a specified way on the road. Camber/Caster is of special concern to the enthusiast because of its susceptibility to change under the influence of different wheel arrangements and ride heights. Schwaben Specialty Tools has developed a superb method of measuring this critical dimension - The Magnetic Camber/Caster Gauge.

If your exterior air temperature sensor is lying all the time, odds are it took a direct hit from a flying object, or rammed its head against a concrete curb. If you're lucky, plugging in a new sensor will set things straight. Problem is, in many cases the sensor, its electrical connector, and a good chunk of wiring are laying out on the highway. That's why we put together a kit that lets you repair the sensor and its circuit with a factory connector, plus extra wire so you can move it to a safer location, out of harm's way.
