After your engine produces power, and before your wheels propel your vehicle forward, energy is lost through your drivetrain. These losses are measurable and significant, and are made worse by worn or failing bushings. ECS recognized the need for more performance-oriented differential bushings, and have arrived at another world-class product. The in-house engineered Performance Polyurethane Differential Bushing Sets take care of driveline slop and reduce power deflection, while increasing throttle response and overall drivetrain rigidity.

The impact driver is a fast and effective way to remove tight or corroded screws and bolts, reducing the chance of rounding off--or rounding out--the fastener head. Insert a slotted or Phillips head screwdriver bit into the driver. Place the screwdriver bit into screw head, and strike the driver with a hammer. The impact drives the bit inward as it rotates the screw, breaking it loose. Reverse the tool to tighten fasteners. For stubborn bolts, remove the black screwdriver bit adapter head, and replace it with any 3/8 - inch drive socket.

Don't let your differential come to a bad end; periodic fluid changes can keep it running smooth and silent for years to come. Choose from a Genuine BMW or ECS Assembled Kit.

Your windshield cowl is the black plastic component covering the electrical wires and connections at the base of your windshield. It serves to protect important electrical components from weather and other damaging influences. The cowl can be easily damaged when replacing windshield wipers or the windshield itself. When the part becomes cracked or torn, water and other elements can damage your vehicle’s electrical system, potentially ruining a number of components. ECS offers a genuine OEM BMW replacement Windshield Cowl, guaranteeing fitment and quality.

Trying to assemble a complete LED lighting kit for your interior, one bulb at a time, can be a frustrating experience. Bulbs sourced from different manufacturers commonly vary in brightness, and commonly have different color values. Some won't fit the bulb holders when you get them; others trigger false bulb-out alerts on the dash. That's why interior lighting kits from Ziza are custom assembled for your make and model, then tested repeatedly with hand-picked LED arrays to assure uniform appearance. Each kit has its detailed photo tutorial to make light work of your installation.

Doing a cooling system refresh, or just replacing worn out and soft old hoses? Why settle for stock when you can get the added life and heat tolerance of silicone hoses? The ECS Silicone Radiator Hose Set is more resistant to heat degradation, maintaining rigidity and durability when rubber hoses become soft. Constructed from 3-ply black silicone, the kit includes both upper and lower radiator hoses and new OEM-style hose connectors.

Accurate camshaft timing is critical to any engine's smooth and reliable operation. When your engine's computer cannot obtain a correct camshaft position reading, valve timing, fuel injection, and air intake parameters cannot be specified - resulting in stalling, idling, and general power delivery issues. ECS offers both OEM BMW and aftermarket Camshaft Position Sensors for your E39 BMW M5 - allowing your engine to run at peak performance and reliability.

The function of your suspension is highly dependent upon the quality of the bushings that each component pivots or rotates on. The M3 has a perfected suspension geometry; worn bushings widen clearances and decrease suspension articulation. Powerflex Inner Control Arm Bushings are made out of durable polyurethane for longevity and steering feel.

Camber, caster, & toe-in are the three axes that wheels operate around. Camber is measured by the degree of positive or negative deviation over the "X-axis" of your suspension. When you fit aftermarket suspension, wheels, or bushings to your vehicle, camber is the primary recipient of undesirable change. Without an adjustable arrangement, obtaining a balanced stance is impossible. Powerflex PowerAlign Adjustable Front Camber Bolts are made using 12.9 tensile strength, corrosion-resistant, zinc plated steel - allowing for up to 1.75 degrees of camber customization.

Your BMW F30 features highly individualized design elements that make successfuly complementing the vehicle with aftermarket wheels a serious challenge. The Alzor 716 has thin split spokes that widen as they terminate into the lip, accentuating rather than distracting from the 3 Series' natural steel musculature. Square or staggered sets of four wheels are available, each finished in gunmetal and featuring a machined face.

Whenever a service is performed that requires the removal of the valve cover, replacing the gasket is so simple and effective that it should be done every time. A common source of oil leaks and excessive engine smoke, the valve cover gasket seals the engine cover to the cylinder head, allowing oil to effectively lubricate your valvetrain. ECS offers genuine OEM and Elring Valve Cover Gaskets for your N54 powered BMW E9X 3 Series. Additionally, if your valve cover itself is cracked, overly worn, or otherwise damaged, an OEM BMW Valve Cover is also available.

The VANOS system in the S54 inline-six engine is a finely-tuned variable valve timing adjuster, relying on high pressure oil to function effectively. This high pressure oil is filtered to remove impurities in the oil, which may otherwise damage the expensive unit, turning it into an expensive paperweight. A clogged filter results in oil starvation: a no-no for VANOS. Servicing the VANOS filter at regular 30k mile intervals will help ensure this does not come to pass. ECS Tuning offers several VANOS filter service kits to address not only the filter service, but oil leaks as well.

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.

The BMW E34 design has retained its charm for over three decades, appealing to both vintage collectors and modern track day enthusiasts alike. These cars' exteriors, however, aren't as immune to the passage of time. Oftentimes, the factory headlights will crack, become discolored or foggy, or fail entirely. The result is poor road illumination and significantly reduced visual appeal. Depo Projection Headlights instantly remedy failing head lamps, while offering better light dispersion and improving the look of your front end.
