Maximize cooling system efficiency and performance with our High Performance Cooling System Bundle and complete system upgrade that includes our High Performance Aluminum Radiator and High Performance Aluminum Heat Exchanger. Designed to handle the intense heat generated by tuned and track-driven BMWs, this package delivers superior temperature control, improved reliability, and consistent performance under demanding conditions. For performance-focused applications, the factory BMW G2X radiator and heat exchanger simply don't meet the demands of higher heat loads and spirited driving. Like many BMWs, the factory heat exchanger and radiator feature molded plastic end tanks common and well-documented failure point. In addition to this issue, the single-row cores are far undersized for high-horsepower, track-focused builds, measuring a measly 25mm (heat exchanger) and 34mm (radiator). With these issues in mind, we set out to offer the ultimate cooling system upgrade for the G2X B58 platform: an all-aluminum, dual-row, high-performance radiator and heat exchanger kit! Engineered in-house by our dedicated team of BMW enthusiasts, our cooling upgrade kit offers significant increases in both cooling capacity and overall system durability. To improve upon the factory design, our engineers started by addressing the weak, failure-prone plastic end tanks. Constructed from durable 6061-T6 aluminum and TIG-welded for added strength, these end tanks are guaranteed to outlast the factory design. Additionally, our proprietary end tanks feature CNC-machined billet aluminum hose connectors, flanges, and mounting brackets. This ensures seamless integration with the factory hoses, fan shroud, and accessories, providing a trouble-free fit and effortless installation. To increase the radiator's thermal capacity, we replaced the 34mm, single-row core with a dual-row, 42mm core. This increases the effective volume of the cooling system, thereby improving the radiator's ability to dissipate heat. The heat exchanger received the same 42mm dual-row core, a massive increase over the factory 25mm size. This grants lower IATs, keeping your car cooler on both the street and the track!
New Turner G8X M Performance Exhaust Systems
The G80 took the world by storm by breaking the mold of BMW's standard design language. With the G80 and G82, a whole new generation of M car owners emerged.

The G80 M3 and G82 M4 are incredibly capable cars out of the box and Turner's large range of upgrades means the sky is the limit.

Like many manual transmission-equipped BMWs, your factory shifter leaves much to be desired. Plagued by long shifter throws, imprecision, and "rubbery" gear selection, many enthusiasts have critiqued the factory G8X shifter since its release. While many short throw shifter kits claim to solve this issue, they often lack the adjustability and modularity needed to maximize the feeling of a carrier-mounted shifter. Turner Motorsport engineers set out to create an ideal solution to these issues, and are proud to introduce the Double-Adjustable Short Shifter Kit for BMW G80 M3, G82/G83 M4, and G87 M2. Whether you're looking to tune your shifter for track use or want a more engaged daily driving experience, the Turner Motorsport Double-Adjustable Short Shifter is the perfect solution. Offering optimal adjustment for both shifter throw length and height, this kit allows you to tailor your shifter to your driving style. Additionally, Turner's kit features selectable options for retaining your factory shift knob or adding a rally-style shift lever for enhanced leverage and reduced shift times.

Turner G8X Skid Plate - Milled Finish & Black
The G80/G82 BMW models are simply amazing to drive; don't let road debris keep you from enjoying the moment. These cars have so much packed under the hood to get you this experience it causes the oil cooler to be placed face-down to the road. This makes the cooler an easy target for impact, which can prove catastrophic as the stock belly pan is designed from a flexible plastic material. We've heard stories of small branches, scrap pieces that fell from trucks to large ice chunks impact the cooler immediately draining the car of its oil. If you don't catch this right away this could cause serious internal engine damage due to oil starvation.

Precisely balanced turbochargers are a key critical factor to become a TTE upgrade unit as longevity and performance are paramount. Good balance improves acoustics also. Subsequent care is taken with all TTE turbochargers to achieving high balance standards. Firstly parts are balanced at slow speeds up to 2800RPM in multiple planes using a single parts machine, then components are assembled, and then the CHRA are dynamically balanced, but this time depending on the application at up to 250,000 RPM in multiple planes using an in house VSR machine to acquire the ultimate equilibrium, to a standard far higher than OEM. Each turbocharger is supplied with a serial numbered balance test result document. Note: Not for sale or use in the state of California on any pollution-controlled vehicle as per the California Air Resources Board.
