The 30" to 67" Low Profile Car Ramps are specially made to accommodate vehicles with low bumper clearance - eliminating the risk of body damage & sliding ramps.

The transfer case in your xDrive is a technological marvel. When the unit begins to fail, you may notice hesitation when driving up an incline, a series of dash lights illuminating, and a distinct clicking sound. You can also simply throw a Transfer Case Malfunction fault code - in which case you can be certain an actuator service is in your future. ECS offers OEM BMW and OES Transfer Case Actuator Motors for your E53 X5. Also available are all components for a complete servicing: drain & fill plugs, copper sealing washers, and a liter of BMW GL-4 transfer case fluid.

The clutch is the most crucial component that transfers the power from that awesome S85 powerhouse to your wheels. This is the bond of power between the engine and drivetrain - using clutch components that are not at 100% functionality means you'll lose the responsiveness & shear force the M5 is known for. ECS supplies most of the critical parts required for perfect clutch operation. OEM, Sachs, and LuK SMG Transmission Clutch Kits include the clutch disk, pressure plate, & throw out bearing. OEM and Luk Dual-Mass Flywheels for manual and SMG-equipped vehicles are also available.

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. Our lines are braided with stainless steel mesh, affording expansion resistance. This resistance to expansion creates a firmer pedal, and more direct pedal feel.

Whenever a service is performed that requires the removal of the valve cover, replacing the gasket is so simple and effective that it should be done every time. A common source of oil leaks and excessive engine smoke, the valve cover gasket seals the engine cover to the cylinder head, allowing oil to effectively lubricate your valvetrain. ECS offers genuine OEM and Elring Valve Cover Gaskets for your N52 powered BMW E83 X3. Additionally, if your valve cover itself is cracked, overly worn, or otherwise damaged, a Complete OEM BMW Valve Cover is also available.

With so many garish aftermarket body kits out there, the smartest option is to choose an enduring exterior upgrade that has been stamped with approval by the expert designers at BMW. The OEM BWM "is" Side Skirt Kit for your BMW E30 3 Series accents the lines of your car, bringing it a subtle measure of factory style. The kit uses factory mounting holes, and comes with attachment hardware for a hassle-free installation. Left and right side skirts and left and right side skirt caps are included in the single kit.

If you plan on attending to any part of your vehicle's cylinder head, you will likely need to re-time your camshafts. During this type of work, the crankshaft must be set at Top Dead Center (TDC), and the camshafts themselves must remain locked. Cam positioning is a critical procedure on today's computer-controlled vehicles - a camshaft that is timed in error will run very poorly and eventually cause catastrophic damage. The Schwaben Camshaft Locking Tool Set will lock your camshaft and crankshaft at the correct position during assembly, and includes a top dead center pin.
