No more Mister Nice Guy. Fire your under-achieving stock pump and replace it with a High Performance water pump from EMP Stewart. This is the pump your BMW should have had from day one. Designed for performance and durability, EMP decided to do it right the first time, increasing flow a full 20 percent over stock, while reducing parasitic draw with a highly efficient stainless steel impeller. Add a heavy-duty bearing and high quality water seal, and you have a pump durable enough for daily driving; tough enough for the track.

When replacing your water pump, 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. By attending to the water pump and thermostat at the same time, the cooling system remains a self-contained, high-functioning unit. ECS assembled and genuine BMW Water Pump and Thermostat Kits are now available for your E9x 325i/328i/330i. Both include a replacement water pump, thermostat, a gallon of coolant, and all required replacement hardware.

Park Distance Control was a costly option to check at the dealer - a fact evidenced by the shortage of PDC-equipped E46 models on the road today. However, BMW has assembled a superb license-plate mounted PDC kit for the non-M BMW 3 series, letting you enjoy the safety and peace of mind of this helpful feature. City parking is made infinitely more easy, alerting you to objects in blind spots that would otherwise go unnoticed. A beep sounds when nearing an object, the intervals between beeps shortening as the vehicle closens.

Lifting your BMW has never been safer or easier than it is with hydraulic jack head adapters from ECS Tuning.

A failed air injection pump is more than a noisy annoyance. Bad pumps store a fault code and turn on your check engine light, a sure way to fail your local emissions test. Dying pumps don't go quietly. As they fail, they make a loud buzzing noise, audible shortly after a cold engine start up; continuing for a minute or so after that. Our secondary air pump kits contain a new pump, control valves, and hoses so you can put your air injection system back to normal, eliminate all that racket, and turn off that pesky dash light.

Trying to assemble a complete LED lighting kit for your interior one bulb at a time can be a frustrating experience.

AFE is a well known name in engine performance, letting you know right away you're paying for quality. These 2 kits offered are either oiled filter or dry, depending on your preference, but both get you better horsepower and throttle response the right way. Many people already know that if you buy an intake kit without the heat shield you're actually doing more damage by sucking in hot air and ruining your horsepower instead of gaining.

Few sensors in any car have a higher authority than the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor. It is so critical to fuel control that a failed or contaminated MAF can cause an assortment of driveability problems: reduced power and fuel economy, ping, a failed emissions test, and sometimes, a no-start. If your car suffers from MAF-related bog, stumble, erratic idle, stalling, or an illuminated check engine light, a new Bosch or Genuine BMW MAF can restore lost performance in minutes, and increase fuel economy.

Improving performance by increasing engine work is only possible when engine temperatures are kept within a reasonable range.

The advanced radiator also uses CNC-machined quick-disconnect fittings for a perfect radiator hose attachment. Mishimoto Performance Radiator Hoses compliment the advanced radiator, resisting electro-chemical degradation and maintaining rigidity and durability when rubber hoses become soft.

Without a high quality performance intercooler, the charged air leaving your turbocharger is rendered ineffective.
