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.

We wanted another SUV but, we didn�t want to sacrifice fun for something bigger. Power, functionality, and uniqueness were all requirements for the SUV addition to our fleet. The E70 X5M not only meets all those requirements but exceeds them. From only minor modifications, this X5 makes absurd power for an SUV in the best way possible. The E70 X5M is a versatile daily driver that can tow like a tank, has lots of room for activities, and gives plenty of 'performance' cars a run for their money, just the way we like it.

I wanted an N54-powered BMW since they came out in 2007. In 2017, I hunted for a manual with AWD. Initially, I decided to keep the car stock, but that didn't last. First came MHD software, then intake and exhaust mods to add a bit more power. Soon after, I found the stepped intercooler, which fits behind the bumper and looks OEM. When my stock turbos started leaking oil, I opted for the largest OEM-location turbos I could without going for a big single turbo and have maxed out the stock injectors. Now, what was supposed to be a stock 335xi dynos at 568whp. Oops.

What began as a simple test to measure the viability of introducing turbocharged engines back into their lineup, the N54-powered 335i became the foundation of BMW's new approach to squeezing power from inline engines. Our 335i, like many enthusiast-owned N54-powered BMWs, sports some hardcore performance engine and suspension upgrades that help bring the power up well above 550WHP. How did we do it? With our own in-house designed performance upgrades tested on this particular E92! If you're looking to make the most out of yours, you can find just what we upgraded right here.

On your E90, E91, E92, or E93, your rear toe arms are fixed. This is fine for your BMW if your suspension is stock, but as soon as you lower it, you are going to be out of spec. With the new Turner Motorsport Rear Adjustable Toe Arms, you can bring you suspension settings back into spec even with an extremely lowered vehicle. These arms are critical if you want to maximize the effectiveness of your BMW’s handling and prevent premature wear.
