Looking to add a hotside intake to your engine bay? Or do you have plans to go big turbo? Turner Motorsport has the solution for you. Long gone are the days of trying to find a new home in your bay for the weak, plastic coolant expansion tank that BMW puts in these cars from the factory. Turner's aluminum expansion tank relocation kit gives you a clean solution to relocate your coolant expansion tank from the hot side of your engine bay to the cold side.

The two largest enemies of any high-performance engine are heat and friction - WPC has found a way to reduce both. WPC treatment is not a coating, it’s a metal improvement process utilizing high-speed micro peening technology giving higher compressive stresses creating a harder more durable finish which also creates oil retention pools which prevent oil starvation. WPC is a surface treatment that reduces friction and adds strength, two improvements that benefit your engine. What's better than using Original BMW rod bearings in your next engine build? WPC-treated OEM bearings!

The F90 M5 and F9X M8 offer supreme luxury and blistering performance, but like any stock BMW, they can always be improved. Brand-new from the Turner Motorsport in-house design team is our high-flowing and power-adding Carbon Fiber Intake System designed to offer an attractive underhood appearance upgrade and significant horsepower gains. Give your BMW a gift you can both enjoy every time you press the throttle with the Turner Motorsport Carbon Fiber Intake.

Upgrading your stock diverter valves and charge pipe helps your engine hold a more constant boost level while preventing unwanted pressure bleed off. This maintains a linear power curve and smoother power all across the RPM band. So when stock no longer cuts it we have you covered. From the wallet-friendly ECS Chargepipe with BOV to the industry standard Synapse and everything in between we have you covered.

Servicing late model computerized vehicles is more of a challenge today than ever before for the aftermarket automotive service facility. Quite often the difference between being able to effectively and profitably service a car line depends on having access to 'Factory Level' tools and information. OEM Tools is are committed to bringing the 'Best in Class' Tools, Information and Reprogramming to the general aftermarket at a friendly price point.

Rear upper shock mounts are a very common failure point on E9X BMWs.Turner Motorsport set out to design the ultimate upper rear shock mount so that you won't have to do this job time and time again. The monoball rear upper shock mount eliminates unwanted deflection, maximizing shock efficiency and performance. Additionally, these allow for full body articulation for low friction movement, reduced side loading and improved shock wear. We also recommend doing the Turner Rear Lower Shock Mounts.

All vehicles will lose some degree of performance due to heat soak under the right operating conditions. BMW integrated the intake air temp sensor in the MAF housing several models, including those powered by the N52. Compensating for this false hot air measurement, the ECU pulls timing and runs a richer fuel mixture, resulting in a significant loss of torque. Turner designed an IAT relocation kit that moves the intake air temp sensor to a cooler location. The result is you’ll experience reduced torque loss and more consistent power output when you’re pushing your engine hard.

Turner designed their short shifter for all drivers. The weekend warriors, the trackday monsters, and even the daily drivers. They wanted to make something that made sense for any BMW enthusiast. For those who want to drive your car to the track, drive some hotlaps, and then drive back home, they developed a rally lever extension. Their rally lever extension allows you to keep your hands close to the steering wheel through shifts, in efforts to quicken shifts and reaction times on the track. The rally lever comes off and on in seconds with the unique locking design they engineered.

Light on weight. Long on looks. Our 2-Piece rotors combine the natural advantages of a cast-iron braking surface with the weight savings and rapid heat dissipation of an aluminum hat. Drilled and slotted to keep the swept area cool and clean, our lightweight vented rotors reduce unsprung weight to improve both braking and suspension performance. ECS Tuning 2-Piece rotors are direct bolts on that work with factory and many aftermarket brake components; no mods required.

Castrol SRF is an ultra high performing silicone-based brake fluid that exceeds DOT5 boiling points. SRF is a truly impressive brake fluid with the highest boiling points of any brake fluid we currently sell. We have used it extensively in our Touring and GT race cars. It's a silicone-based fluid that is hydrophobic and will not absorb moisture. Mixing silicone and glycol fluids is not recommended so SRF is best used with all new hydraulic components or by repeatedly flushing the old system with SRF until the old fluid is gone.

Recognizing the appeal of the naturally aspirated N52 powered E9x vehicles, Turner Motorsport developed in an intake to make you fall in love with your BMW again. The N52 engine never sounded this good. Turner's intake effectively eliminates restriction caused by the factory airbox, especially in the top end. This combined with increased air flow allows for gains of up to 9 WHP and 13 WTQ down low in the power band. Installation is very simple, and Turner is thorough enough to put together install instructions for your enjoyment - see the documentation tab.

Like all of Turner's products, their N55 carbon fiber engine covers are CAD designed in house - these were engineered specifically for F30 BMWs equipped with the N55 engine. So if you have an F30 335i, you're in luck. Turner's N55 engine covers are hand-laid 2x2 weave carbon fiber, offered in both gloss and matte finishes. Painstaking attention to detail went into this project - the engine cover pays homage to the previous BMW forced induction powerplants, exposing more of the engine on the cold side.

Reduce weight. Reduce heat. Reduce warping. ECS Tuning engineered 2-Piece semi-floating rotors offer real world benefits that can be felt on both the street and track! Our 2-Piece rotors combine the advantages of weight savings and rapid heat dissipation to provide a rotor superior to stock while preventing warping and extending component life. The reduction of unsprung weight improves handling characteristics under all situations. This reduction in rotational inertia allows for quicker acceleration, decreased braking distances, and more responsive handling.

The Performance brake kit for your F30 BMW is the absolute ultimate brake upgrade next to a 6-piston upgrade kit, featuring our ECS 2-piece front rotors, Hawk HPS pads, and ECS Coated rear rotors. The 2-piece rotors will give a much higher brake torque and decreased fade leaving you pedal consistent the whole time with ECS Coated rear rotors that will look great the entire time you have them on. Between the upgraded brake kits and stainless steel Exact-fit brake lines, your braking system will get a complete performance overhaul.
