Suspension components on any vehicle wear out from rough roads and harsh driving conditions. For a company like BMW, known for superior suspension designs and impressive handling, the issue is even more crucial. Many suspension parts don't just fail one at a time and oftentimes when one fails, the matching part on the opposite side is right behind it. ECS-assembled, and Genuine BMW front, rear, and complete kits are available depending on your current needs - all offering matching components for both sides for a professional job the first time.

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, S50/S52 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.

Today's modern engines were made with complex tools that only dealerships seem to have on hand. This forces one to take their vehicle to a dealer in order to get routine service.

These high-quality and long lasting tools will do the job right the first time, giving you more time to enjoy your vehicle where it belongs, on the road.

Your BMW's generator, fans, water pumps and AC compressors all rely on accessory drive belts to do their job. Over time, cracking, glazing, and squeaking occur; for these reasons, replacing your drive belts before they crack or break is a highly prudent investment. Additionally, If the accessory belt snaps constantly, or is sloppy and loose in your vehicle, the only solution is a new tensioner. The ECS-assembled kit comes with everything you need to refresh your whole drive belt system, including belts, tensioner, and hardware.

From the factory, most BMWs are dialed-in with less-than-ideal front camber to encourage understeer. This adversely affects handling and tire-wear by putting less of the tire's contact patch on the ground. The solution: add more negative camber. This add grip by putting more tire on the ground in aggressive corners and increases turn in aggression. Turner Motorsport Fixed Camber plates are also an ideal option for anyone not needing the added expense of full adjustability, but instead looking to add a little negative camber.

The ECS Engineered Performance Polyurethane Differential Bushing with Black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum Sleeve Sets take care of drive line slop and reduce power deflection, while increasing throttle response and overall drive train rigidity. After your engine produces power, and before your wheels propel your vehicle forward, energy is lost through your drive train. These losses are measurable and significant, and are made worse by worn or failing bushings. ECS recognized the need for more performance-oriented differential bushings, and have arrived at another world-class product.
