From Schwaben Specialty Tools comes a tool every home mechanic should have in his arsenal. The 61" long adjustable Engine Support Bar adapts to any vehicle width, and supports a full 1000 lb weight rating. The support bar includes four rubber padded feet to prevent slipping and damage to your car's finish, while powder coating guarantees durability. The deluxe version of the support bar includes two-direction stability for added support.

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.

Reduce weight. Reduce heat. Reduce warping. The E9X generation BMW M3 is an exercise in excess. From the powertrain to the exterior, the signs are glaring that this M3 does not know compromise. An especially stunning design feature of this model, the large front and rear brakes show off the stopping power required counteract the inertia of this beast. ECS assembled performance kits featuring front and rear ECS 2-piece semi-floating cross drilled and slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads.

The BMW Z3 is a favorite to many enthusiast with its smaller lightweight design and high revving M powered engine. The real fun begins when you start installing a few high performance mods to really increase the horse power, but with all that new power there needs to be an upgrade to stop it. ECS Tuning found a way to fit our 2-piece rotors from our M3 CSL kits to your BMW Z3M, increasing the surface area for greater stopping power. The larger rotor increases the brake torque and reduces the fade simply meaning, consistent hard braking.

The E36 M3 is a favorite to many enthusiast with its smaller lightweight design and high revving M powered engine. The real fun begins when you start installing a few high performance mods to really increase the horse power, but with all that new power there needs to be an upgrade to stop it. ECS Tuning found a way to fit our 2-piece rotors from our E46 M3 CSL kits to your E36 M3, increasing the surface area for greater stopping power. The larger rotor increases the brake torque and reduces the fade simply meaning, consistent hard braking.

See and feel the difference with ECS Tuning 2-Piece rotors. Lightweight aluminum hats paired with cross-drilled and slotted cast-iron friction 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.

Whether you want to shave some weight without losing structural integrity, add downforce, or improve the appearance of your BMW, Carbon Fiber and Carbon Kevlar composites are the best place to start. At Karbonious, they specialize in producing the artistic and exceptional quality carbon composite products expected by BMW owners to meet their standards. All their products are artfully crafted from hand-laid material and precisely engineered through 3D modeling and CNC machining.

If you are a performance-minded enthusiast looking to save weight wherever possible or just want a set of very high-quality wheel bolts that won't rust, ECS Titanium Wheel Bolts are exactly what you need. ECS Titanium Wheel Bolts are 50% lighter than steel bolts of the same size, thus reducing rotational mass on the vehicle. They are CNC'd from annealed titanium alloy and when tested to class 10.9 fastener proof load requirements, they showed no signs of fatigue or failure.

The hard bends in the stock hose always end up cracking and leaking, but since the water pump thermostat assembly is tucked up above the subframe, it can be difficult to pinpoint the leak. When you upgrade your OE rubber hose to the ECS aluminized silicone hose, you don't just get a longer lasting, more flexible hose, but also one that's better suited to withstand high underhood temperatures. We use silicone because of its more pliable nature as well as its resistance to heat. The next step was wrapping it with aluminum to offer further protection from the exhaust system.

If you live in an apartment or you can't get your car up on ramps or stands but want to change your oil, then this is exactly what you need. This tool enables you to drain from the dipstick tube and refill like normal, without getting under the car or fighting with drain plugs. Not only is it convenient it's also efficient: most cars leave oil in the pan when being drained from the plug—sometimes up to a half quart. The extractor, however, can reach this remaining broken down fluid to make room for even more uncontaminated lubricant. Extract the extra work from the job.

When attending to your vehicle's ignition system, the best approach is to replace as many system components as possible at the same time. Doing so allows each part to wear evenly over time, maintaining an accurate service schedule. ECS assembled Ignition Service Kits are conveniently bundled sets of six spark plugs and sixteen ignition coil wires, allowing you to take care of these critical limited-life parts in a single servicing. Misfires, poor idling, and general poor engine performance can be remedied with one of two kits.
