The ultimate rear trailing arm bushings for your BMW - the mono-ball design prevents side loading, allowing for full movement of the trailing arm with consistent, predictable handling. This handling improvement comes at a cost, however - these mono-ball bushings transmit more noise, vibration, and harshness, so some drivers particularly attuned to comfort may want to consider factory rubber bushings with ECS Tuning or Turner Motorsport bushing limiters instead.

ECS Exact-Fit 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.

Every facet of handling performance is harmed, making the driving experience unpredictable and imprecise. A clever and simple solution to trailing arm deflection is the in-house engineered ECS Tuning Trailing Arm Bushing Limiter Set, a brilliant investment for all BMWs.

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.

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.
