The ECS Billet Aluminum Oil Filter Housing for your BMW will add a touch of class to an ordinary part generally overlooked with durable and attractive convenience.

Remove the factory-installed hydraulic restrictor in your BMW's clutch line and experience faster, more precise clutch engagement with the ECS Tuning Clutch Delay Valve Removal Tool Kit. Designed to make CDV removal quick, clean, and hassle-free, this tool set ensures the job is done safely without damaging the slave cylinder. From the factory, most F and G-Chassis manual BMWs feature a plastic slave cylinder with a built-in Clutch Delay Valve (CDV). While intended to smooth engagement and protect driveline components, the restrictor often dulls feedback, slows shifts, and increases clutch wear. Removing it restores the sharp, connected feel that every enthusiast expects from a true manual.

Using the N54 flywheel and our conversion kit, you can update your E46 with parts you trust for a permanent drivetrain upgrade.

Extended periods of aggressive driving causes the amount of heat in the rotors to build up, & as the temperature of the rotors increase, the metal begins to expand. With solid rotors, this can lead to numerous issues such as warping of the rotors, unexpected cracking along the inner "ring" or friction surfaces, & increased brake fade. Turner's TrackSport rotors feature a full floating two-piece design & slotted grooves to allow smooth, consistent braking force & easy expulsion of gases & dust created by the brake pads & rotors under heavy braking.
