What happens in your cooling system is that the burden of wear transfers to a different part, one that will then need to be replaced itself at a later point.

Both include a replacement water pump, thermostat, a gallon of coolant, and all required replacement hardware.

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.

The bolt in upgrade for clean crisp shifting has arrived courtesy of Turner Motorsport. These Performance Shifter Bushing Assembly don’t require unfavorable modifications, such as cutting or even burning of factory components, to install simply remove your old assembly and bolt in your new poly bushing! The Turner Motorsport Performance rear shifter bushing is designed to remove the shifter play caused by an old failed rubber shifter bushing. Manufacturing the bushing from polyurethane instead of rubber reduces the amount of stretch caused by the moving part through the bushing.

The throttle body actuator is commonly prone to failure and each engine contains two, one for each cylinder head.

We've all found ourselves using highly "creative" methods for separating removing parts in the midst of an intense project. Some methods do work... but usually at the expense of personal injury and a few broken or damaged parts. So why not start with the right tool? The Exhaust Hanger Removal Tool has a slim profile for work in tight areas, easily pulling off hangers. Then cut exhaust pipes with ease in tight areas with the professional grade Exhaust Pipe Cutter.

Introducing the Turner IAT Relocation Harness. BMW designed your air intake system in a way that put the intake air temperature sensor close to the engine, subjecting your engine's computer to air temps that are artificially high. When the ECU reads these warmer temperatures, timing and fueling are cut, resulting in less power and torque. By relocating the IAT to a less heat soak prone position within the air intake tract, the Turner Motorsport relocation harness offers a safe, power-preserving, plug-and-play solution to heat soak - for better, more consistent power delivery.

Put the power in your hands with these new tools from Schwaben. Free yourself from the dealer and do more services yourself!

Stainless reinforced brake lines provide more confident and dependable stopping by maintaining consistent brake pressure, long lasting corrosion resistance, and increased protection from failure. Even when new, factory style fabric mesh lined rubber hoses are prone to expansion under the pressure of hard braking, whether it be highway panic stops or threshold braking at the track. ECS lines are braided with stainless steel mesh, affording expansion resistance. This resistance to expansion creates a firmer pedal, and more direct pedal feel for your BMW.

Factory brake calipers slide on guide pins through rubber bushings. This design is adequate and widely used from the factory by BMW. For more precise braking, bronze bushings and 304 stainless steel guide pins allow for a more positive feel at the pedal and more even pad wear. ECS Performance Caliper Guide Bushings are C544 bronze to complement anti-seize, providing additional lubrication - all of which is held in place by an integrated o-ring and dust cap. Working in concert with new stainless steel guide pins allows for a much longer service life and less maintenance.
