Designed with factory-fitment in mind, Turner Motorsport Silicone Throttle Body Boots install snugly and are engineered to offer high-durability under street and race conditions, including boosted applications. Not a simple silicone reducer, these boots were designed to feature the same internal features as the originals. With three-ply construction, these boots are slightly thicker than factory boots and are compatible with screw-style clamps. Use your preferred clamp, or select the kit with clamps!

Lowering your vehicle provides several proven advantages in handling performance. Many enthusiasts, however, ignore the issue of disadvantageous suspension geometry changes resulting from a lower ride height. Stock components allow slight changes from the stock, but they often are not able to properly align the car after the suspension has been modified. ECS Adjustable Rear Control Arms allow for over 8 degrees of adjustment. Street & track enthusiasts will appreciate this needed measure of adjustability.

The BMW E46 M3 come with excellent handling packages, but there's always room for improvement. Let us help you step up your game with suspension products that pick up where BMW left off. These sway bars are built on decades of experience designing world class suspension upgrades; then manufactured to old world standards where "excellence" is more than just a word.

The BMW 1 Series has proven itself to be a true-blooded BMW, with handling dynamics that are close to perfect. One area of this particular model's suspension that can use bolstering is at the sway bar. Gain aggressive driving dynamics in your E82/E88 without extra noise, harshness, and vibration. ECS tested 28mm front and 15mm rear sway bars for this precise reason. Reduce body roll in turns, stiffen suspension, and add a much needed dimension of handling predictability with the ECS units - designed to fit and function in perfect harmony with your BMW.

If you consider yourself a BMW enthusiast then you understand the innate importance of these two things: intake noise and carbon fiber. Turner's S55 intake gives you both of those things while maintaining a great fit and finish that integrates seamlessly with OEM inlet ducting and stock mounting locations. While engineering this intake, Turner meticulously collected data to ensure MAF scaling matched factory intake exactly in order to maintain correct AFRs. The 2x2 twill weave carbon fiber inlet tubes are available in either matte or gloss finishes. The S55 OE charge pipe is prone to failure; after constant heat cycling, the factory plastic becomes very brittle, leading to cracks and boost leaks, and ultimately entire part failures. The OE charge pipe has also been proven to break once under increased boost pressure. Replace the weak OE charge pipe with the Turner Motorsport S55 Charge pipe for increased air flow, and increased throttle response. You can also safely turn up the boost on your S55 once this kit is installed, and not worry about the problematic factory piece.

Intake port media blaster decarboning kit. These are the DIY (Do It Yourself) kits that will allow you to effectively clean and de-carbon the intake ports and intake valves on your BMW engine, saving you hundreds of dollars over having this service done at the BMW dealer. Use of this kit requires a medium sized air compressor (suggested minimum 20-30 gallon tank, 4.0 CFM @ 90psi), common "shop vac" and full hearing and eye protection. We recommend the use of a remote starter switch such as part # CTA3012.

The M50/S50/M52/M54/S52's factory Vanos line is an extremely high failure part. The factory Vanos line incorporates a hard line, which is the most common failure point for the M50/S50/M52/M54/S52's. Vanos line. We saw this line fail on so many M50/S50/M52/M54/S52 powered vehicles, we knew we had to design a solution.

For vehicles with factory direct tire pressure monitoring sensors only The Foxwell TPMS sensor integrates 315MHz and 433MHz dual frequency and can replace more than 96% of the OEM sensors on the market. Sensors can easily be activated and programmed by any TPMS tool on the market.

The G20 B58 OE charge pipe is prone to failure; after constant heat cycling, the factory plastic becomes very brittle, leading to cracks and boost leaks, and ultimately entire part failures. The OE charge pipe has also been proven to break once under increased boost pressure. Replace the weak OE charge pipe with the Turner Motorsport G20 B58 charge pipe for increased air flow, and increased throttle response. You can also safely turn up the boost on your B58 once this kit is installed, and not worry about the problematic factory piece.

When I was 17, I went to look at a 1984 318i with my father. I didn�t know how to drive stick at the time, so he test drove it on my behalf, and loved it. Despite making barely 100hp decades prior, he enjoyed the driving engagement, and how solid and well-built it felt. Since then, my family has owned numerous E30s, including my current daily 325is. I bought this in 2018 as a project with 320k miles; at that time the hood wouldn�t even open. Many hours were spent refreshing and enhancing the driving enjoyment. Now she soldiers on with 357k miles, and no signs of stopping.

Our ECS Tuning Billet Front Sway Bar Mounting Kit will provide your vehicle with a more rigid mounting solution from the sway bar to chassis than the OEM steel brackets. With an improved sway bar mounting bracket and the included polyurethane sway bar bushings you can expect to achieve an increase in rear sway bar effectiveness and less body roll as a result.

Looking to impress potential mates with well-executed handbrake turns? The Turner Motorsport Performance Parking Brake Actuator improves the ratio of your actuator from 3:1 to 4:1, which not only makes initiating drifts easier, but it also increases the longevity of your parking brake system! Not only does Turner's 4130 Chromoly steel zinc-coated parking brake actuator improve overall parking brake feel, but it also creates less stress on your parking cables and a better clamp load on the parking brake shoes themselves. This is the perfect upgrade for your parking brake system whether you are currently replacing components, or just looking to improve the longevity of your existing system.

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. This expansion is even more prominent in aged and weathered rubber hoses. Our lines are reinforced with braided stainless steel mesh, affording superior expansion resistance. This resistance to expansion creates a firmer pedal, and a more direct pedal feel. Our signature red polymer coating provides additional protection from the elements & abrasion.

Even brand new rubber brake hoses expand under pressure, resulting in increased fluid volume and excess pedal travel for the desired stopping force. What is often thought to be brake fade or fluid boiling, can actually be the brake lines expanding under pressure. This expansion is even more prominent in aged and weathered rubber hoses. ECS Tuning Stainless Steel lines are engineered and assembled with braided stainless steel mesh and offer superior expansion resistance and reinforcement. The resistance to expansion creates a firmer pedal, and a more direct pedal feel.

When you buy brake lines, you want them to last for years to come. Traditional SS lines and hardware will corrode the first time they are exposed to water, regardless of how much you spend. Turner has developed a proprietary zinc-nickel coating finish with almost twice the salt-spray corrosion resistance of a standard plated line. Turner SS brake line also feature new low profile connecting hardware, for a cleaner mounted look. Get brake lines that will continue to look as good as they feel!

After owning an E90 335i for a couple of years, I was ready for something new. I'm a die-hard BMW fan and knew the M3 was the only logical next step. As the only M3 ever produced with a V8 making over 400 horsepower and revving to 8400 RPM, I knew this was the car for me. So far, I've fitted my M3 with Genuine BMW Style 359 wheels, ECS Carbon Fiber exterior upgrades, KW H.A.S. suspension, a Turner Motorsport skid plate, and Turner Motorsport software to tie it all together.

Cars, for me, have always been an avenue for self-expression. They're a blank canvas to create a piece of art. I need to choose a platform that offers several options for parts and customization, but I also have to like the aesthetics of that car. These things combined give me the best opportunity to build something unique. I always look through online catalogs for parts and picture a basic idea of what I want out of a build before I purchase the vehicle. My advice to fellow enthusiasts out there: follow your gut. Don't just do something because you think others will like it.

I have always loved BMW E36s, but the 325i was my gateway into drifting. Some of the modifications I have done certainly aren't for the purist, but many of them are good for the weekend warrior or just a daily that sees some spirited driving. While I love all things BMW, the E36 will always hold a special place in my heart. For me, it truly is the "Ultimate Driving Machine."

The 435i was my introduction to forced induction BMWs - I wanted to buy something "more reliable" than the N54, but still wanted a turbo BMW. After looking for a white M-Sport manual transmission 435i, I found this one and purchased it sight unseen from California. My interest in cars is rooted in "stance" culture, so my 435i ended up less than practical, but it is still a blast to drive and easy on the eyes.

The car was purchased in April of 2017 with 108k original miles and a working odometer! The car was found in Nitro, West Virginia and was a doctor�s car that seemed to only be taken out on the weekends and in nice weather. It had been in storage since 2008 and right before it went into storage it had a brand new top put on it. The car is fully functional with all drivetrain being 100% stock. Once it was trailered back to Ohio the refresh began. The car has been gone through from top to bottom. All new timing, water pump, thermostat, head gasket, and all rubber hoses were replaced. When the head was off the engine was inspected and still showed factory cross hatching in the cylinder bores. This car is a perfect example of a daily drivable 30+ year old car. It is a survivor that gets many miles a year and is taken to car shows quite often. It does have some basic modifications but the point was to keep it as stock as possible and on the road for many more years to come!

I'm Craig, our Social Media and Creative Content coordinator, and this was my 24v-swapped, late-model-converted, E30 Vert. This car entered my life when E30s were cheap and plentiful after my daily was totaled by a red light runner. It was physically pristine, but it was mechanically in need of everything, which is why it ended up 24v swapped, among the host of other upgrades and retrofits I performed during my ownership of this E30. I sold this car in April of 2021, but it will forever be the best E30 I've ever owned and the most in-depth build I've attempted to date.

I've wanted to own a BMW since I was a little kid. They've always struck me as the perfect combo of luxury and performance. After years of forcing myself to buy "practical" cars, I finally started looking for a 2017 F30 340i XDrive. I stumbled upon one at a local dealer in Glacier Silver Metallic with a red interior and it still makes me smile every time I look at it. So far I've done some basic mods (intake, flush kit, charge pipe, front lip, blackout grilles). Next up is probably a skid plate. After that, who knows?

My first car was a 1998 528i, that's where I was first introduced to BMW. That car was my first experience working on a lot of things by myself, and I found out how straightforward BMW�s were to maintain. I�ve had plenty of other Euro cars, including a 911 SC, but the E46 M3 was always my dream car from the beginning. Eventually, I sold the 911 and bought my M3 in 2009. Since then, I�ve repainted it Daytona Violet, installed a Hamann wing like the Turner Motorsport team used on their race cars, put the factory seats back in, and am re-kitting it for an OE+/CS style build.

I'm Pat, the Turner Brand Manager. As a die-hard manual transmission enthusiast, I had to be patient and wait for exactly what I wanted from a daily driver. After an exhaustive search, I found the perfect manual, M-sport, F10 5-series. It's the last ever manual 5 series produced, so I want to keep the car forever, which is why I haven't wasted any time building it up for a bit more fun. I started with all the bolt-ons and a tune to give the car some life. Following the power mods, I added some creature comforts and coilovers to make this F10 exactly the way I've wanted it to be.

It's hard to beat the sound of the S54, unobstructed by the roofline of the car. I scoured the earth to find a Cinnamon dressed E46 convertible, and was looking for one with 100k+ miles so I didn't ever feel guilty enjoying it. My goal with the car is to restore it to it's original condition from a cosmetic perspective. All of the interior bits are being replaced one by one, as well as the badges, emblems etc. Future plans for the car include a few performance upgrades such as Supersprint headers, Turner Suspension goodies, and anything else that will help me enjoy this forever car, forever.
