The symptoms are annoying. The costs can be painful. DISA valves control intake manifold runner length to improve engine performance at different rpm. When they fail, the DISA valve bangs around in its housing, making a rattling noise accompanied by rough idle and off-idle hesitation. If your BMW experiences these symptoms, don't wait to fix it. In some cases, parts of the DISA--including a metal spreader pin--can be sucked into your engine, causing serious engine damage. Easy to replace, your new DISA screws to the side of the intake and comes with pre-installed sealing gasket.

The BMW N54 engine relies heavily on adequate boost pressure to make its impressive power figures. Without a properly functioning boost/vacuum system, power loss, acceleration hesitation, and decreased fuel economy are all likely consequences. For this particular engine, a common source of boost leaks is the boost solenoid, oftentimes bleeding off pressure so badly that the car struggles to accelerate. ECS offers genuine OEM and Pierburg Boost Solenoid/Pressure Converters for the E89 Z4 35i/35is, swiftly taking care of this grisly prospect.

Many engines require regular valve adjustments to make sure the valvetrain is operating within specification. This is especially true for high-performance engines, such as the S54 inline-six from the BMW Z3M. Over time, the valves seats wear down, creating a gap that keeps the valves from opening as they should. This results in insufficient air entering the cylinders, or not enough exhaust leaving them. The gap tolerance issue can also cause an annoying ticking sound from your engine. ECS assembled and genuine OEM kits allow you to observe BMW's 30k mile service interval.

With the ability to greatly outlast any standard bushing and install easily, Powerflex products are a smart option when looking for a bushing replacement or upgrade.
