We're excited; and with good reason. ECS Tuning proudly introduces our new line of premium, corrosion-resistant rotors: GEOMET®. GEOMET® is a special coating containing metal oxides, zinc, and aluminum flakes, sprayed over the entire rotor surface to ensure complete coverage, and baked on at 600 degrees to form a durable and attractive silver-gray finish that fights rust far better than paints or other conventional coatings. Slotted or drilled and slotted, you can expect your new GEOMET® rotors to outperform and outlast stock rotors, and look great behind your alloy wheels.

The symptoms are annoying. The costs can be painful. DISA valves control intake manifold runner length to improve engine performance at different rpm. When they fail, the DISA valve bangs around in its housing, making a rattling noise accompanied by rough idle and off-idle hesitation. If your BMW experiences these symptoms, don't wait to fix it. In some cases, parts of the DISA--including a metal spreader pin--can be sucked into your engine, causing serious engine damage. Easy to replace, your new DISA screws to the side of the intake and comes with pre-installed sealing gasket.

Add a Euro look to your US spec MKV Golf or Jetta with European style projector headlights from Hella. Not only are these headlights an upgrade in the looks department; they also upgrade how well you can see. The halogen projectors and Euro lenses provide brighter, clearer light in an improved pattern. These assemblies also include leveling motors. If you wish to utilize the leveling feature, you will have to install additional components and wire and code your car to enable them. Note: this is not required! It's easy. Plug in, switch on, and turn heads.

Specializing in OEM and aftermarket replacement parts and accessories, ECS deftly balances the global concerns of a worldwide industry leader with the accessibility and commitment to accountability typically characteristic of smaller companies.

You might get there without a spare--then again, you might not. There's no good place for a flat tire, but some spots are worse than others. Think two-lane highway. In the dark. Miles from help. Maybe you'll get lucky. Maybe the puncture is small and repairable. If not, you can always thump down the road on a run-flat, hoping the next full service station shows up before your fillings come loose. Get there safely with a Euro BMW spare tire kit that includes spare tire, jack, wheel chocks, and lug wrenches. Special tire bag and tool carry case keep things tidy until you need them.

Stop it! Don't settle for mediocre braking. Bolt on a set of ECS Tuning two-piece rotors and feel the handling benefits of semi-floating rotors that reduce unsprung weight--and keep their cool when the heat is on. Add up the benefits: premium aluminum anodized hats; non-braking surfaces powder coated for good looks and corrosion protection; directional venting; plus drilled and slotted brake faces. Or just buy them 'cause they're gorgeous!

Loud tunes and a long time in service cause the cones and seals in speakers to deteriorate, especially in an automotive application. If your highs aren't as clear and your lows aren't as full as befits a BMW's audio system, look no further.

Revel in improved resolution, chimier treble, and more defined bass with a full set of Genuine BMW HiFi or Harmon Kardon speakers. Hear hear!

See and feel the difference with ECS Tuning 2-Piece rotors. Lightweight aluminum hats paired with cross-drilled and slotted cast-iron friction faces provide the best of both worlds in braking performance. Aluminum reduces inertial mass, improving steering feel, acceleration, and deceleration. Cast iron has immense thermal capacities and great wear characteristics. 2-Piece semi-floating construction ensures the two materials work together in concert. What does this mean? Traffic-stopping looks and fade-free stops, every time.

Finally. Cooling system service solutions for BMW. Kits that fit your car, its needs, and your budget. Heat-hardened hoses and plastic pipes are a nightmare in the making on high milers.

We have a cure: Three different service stage kits to match your wallet and vehicle condition. Check your system, then order a service package sure to cure what ails it.

Stuffing new brake pads in your BMW doesn't really qualify as a brake job, especially on high-milers and vehicles driven where the roads are salted in winter. Pads and rotors don't just wear out. Many suffer from rust scale accumulations, warping, and surface pitting that reduce braking efficiency--and extend stopping distances far beyond what BMW intended. Now you can install pads, rotors, and hardware at the same time to restore driving pleasure, and braking performance appropriate for a true driving machine. Stop where you want, when you want.

If you demand nothing but Castrol TWS for your high performance E9x M3 engine, then we have good news. Now you can buy Castrol Edge Professional TWS--for less. This is the same oil specified by BMW engineers for the M3. The same oil that came in your M3's crankcase from Bavaria. Not a similar oil; not a substitute. The real deal. The difference? The bottle. Save on your next oil change by buying Castrol TWS in a slightly different bottle, and put the savings in the bank. Or the tank. Same oil. Less dough. Any questions?

Change is good. Simple is better. ECS bumper sidemarkers let you dump those frumpy orange lenses for smoked or clear upgrades. Affordable and easy to install, this is the kind of project you can do easily on a Saturday afternoon, and still have time to watch the ball game. (If you've stopped looking back at your car as you walk away, maybe its time to rekindle the romance.)

Only from H&R, Super Sport Springs have all the features of Sport Springs, plus additional lowering—great for the seasoned enthusiast looking for a little more.

If you own a 3 Series, you're probably familiar with RSBS (Rear Shock Blowout Syndrome). This widespread condition affects many 3 Series cars, and is caused by a congenital weakness in the rear shock mount design. Symptoms include knocking over bumps, pogo-sticking, poor handling, and shock rods poking their heads above their normal installed height, looking for a mount to hold them steady. Good news. We have the cure. Install our all new reinforcement plates, or grab our complete upgrade kit with plates and heavy-duty mounts. Don't suffer with RSBS. Get the Cure.
