Both left (driver) and right (passenger) harnesses are available.

The E30 has been BMW enthusiast favorite for 30 years; for many, the model served as the gateway to a lifetime of car enthusiasm.

Whenever replacing head gaskets, a complete kit is the wiser investment, taking care of the entire sealing system in one servicing. ECS is proud to offer the well-known Victor Reinz and Genuine BMW kits in just one click to make this an easy, well-informed decision.

The ECS Tuning oil filter housing is an attractive, durable upgrade designed to prevent dangerous and unsightly oil leaks. It is an exact-fit replacement for the original; but the similarity ends there. Replace your stock fragile plastic oil filter housing with a durable 6061-T6 billet aluminum with an anodized black finish from ECS Tuning. Unlike the factory filter housing, ours requires no special tool. An outer 36mm hex is same size as stock, while an inner 17mm is the same size as your oil drain plug - effectively making an oil service a one-tool job.

Within the wishbone suspension design, camber and caster are specified by the wishbones, while toe-in is secured by the trailing arm. Bushings support the trailing arms, securing them to the chassis. Over time, the trailing arm bushings wear down, leaving toe-in under-regulated and suspension geometry altered. 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 ECS Trailing Arm Bushing Limiter Set, a brilliant investment for all E36 M3 owners.

KW V-Series Coilovers have been engineered to perfectly suit the BMW E36 318/323/325/328 chassis, while allowing the driver the flexibility to choose a variety of damping, rebound, and ride height adjustments.

The E9X M3 is essentially a track-ready production car. However, even the daily driver suffers from heat soak due to insufficient oil cooling. Heat is any engine's largest enemy.

ECS now offers the highly effective, race-ready VF Engineering Oil Cooler for the E9X BMW M3. Heat exchange is substantially increased by using a more dense bar and plate design, better meeting the demands of performance driving.
