Get in touch with your bad self. You know how to drive a stick, so why not stick a fork in that marshmallow self-adjusting pressure plate. Why not go with a conventional disc, mated to a single mass flywheel. Our Valeo single mass flywheel clutch conversion kit takes your BMW back to its roots as a bare-knuckled brawler. The non-adjustable pressure plate puts you in touch with the clutch, restoring a crisp, responsive feel. The single mass flywheel costs less than a dual mass, and can be resurfaced in the future to extend its service life. You'll feel the difference.

Many E46s have logged a ton of miles by now, and most have road-weary suspension dampers. KONI struts and shocks are always a favorite replacement choice for enthusiasts, since they add a blend of sporty handling and comfort that is unavailable in stock-shocks tuned to match OE ride quality. KONI fine tunes their shocks and struts by application, refusing to take a "one-size-fits-all" approach used by lesser manufacturers. Available with adjustable or preset damping, KONI shocks and struts are a durable performance upgrade for both stock and lowered cars.

A performance car deserves performance brake lines. That's why discriminating BMW owners commonly make ECS Tuning Exact Fit brake lines their first brake system upgrade. Stock hoses are made of fiber mesh reinforced rubber that swells under pressure, giving the brake pedal a soft feel.

When it comes to BMW water pumps, wimpy won't do. High performance makes high heat that must be removed to protect your engine from serious damage. Stock pumps have a reputation they would like to live down. If your Bavarian six is special to you, what you need is a no-nonsense, heavy duty, double throwdown pump made from premium materials, to exacting standards. You need an EMP Stewart high performance pump with stainless rotor, heavy duty bearing, over-sized seal, and 20 percent more output than the factory original. Anything less is uncool.
