The S58 is a twin-turbocharged masterpiece. BMW's newest S-christened masterpiece delivers blistering horsepower, instantaneous torque, and a glorious induction soundtrack. Unfortunately, this symphony is muted from the factory due to an extremely restrictive intake system. The OEM intake system is built to meet stringent NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) restrictions, resulting in a quiet, restrictive system that dampens the engine�s true sound and limits airflow efficiency. The ECS Luft-Technik Performance Intake System is engineered to fix these issues, providing increased airflow, reduced complexity, and most importantly, a drastic increase in induction sound! By linking dual-cone air filters directly to the turbocharger inlets, this intake flows an average of 30 CFM greater than the OEM airbox. As if sound wasn't enough, this increase in flow translates to improved throttle response and substantial power gains.

Like many manual transmission-equipped BMWs, your factory shifter leaves much to be desired. Plagued by long shifter throws, imprecision, and "rubbery" gear selection, many enthusiasts have critiqued the factory G8X shifter since its release. While many short throw shifter kits claim to solve this issue, they often lack the adjustability and modularity needed to maximize the feeling of a carrier-mounted shifter. Turner Motorsport engineers set out to create an ideal solution to these issues, and are proud to introduce the Double-Adjustable Short Shifter Kit for BMW G80 M3, G82/G83 M4, and G87 M2. Whether you're looking to tune your shifter for track use or want a more engaged daily driving experience, the Turner Motorsport Double-Adjustable Short Shifter is the perfect solution.

BMW's newest high-performance powertrain�the S58B30�has proven to be an extremely durable platform built to last! Unfortunately, its factory oil cooler location is an egregious weak link in an otherwise bulletproof oiling system. Positioned just inches above the ground, the engine oil cooler is vulnerable to damage from debris, potholes, parking blocks, and other unavoidable road hazards. To safeguard the oil cooler, we've engineered a high-strength Aluminum Skid Plate for the F97 X3M and F98 X4M. Designed for peak performance and protection, our skid plate acts as a shield, preventing damage to the oil cooler while maintaining proper cooling efficiency.

Designed to resist oil, fuel, and electrochemical degradation and tested up to continuous 250� Fahrenheit operating temperature and over 45 psi, you can expect greater reliability, less fluid turbulence, and improved flow with our smooth silicone hoses. Our hose kit features smoother internal passageways, consistent internal hose diameters, and smoother bends. This will result in improved flow for greater cooling system performance with added durability.

The factory-installed plastic gears in S65 and S85 throttle body actuators are prone to degradation due to constant mechanical stress, vibration, and heat cycling. After years of use, internal actuator gear wear leads to excessive play, improper throttle response, and eventual failure�often triggering DME trouble codes, limp mode, and DSC malfunctions. Replacing both throttle body actuator assemblies can prove expensive, and replacement units will experience the same failure in due time. We've engineered a high-quality replacement for the internal actuator gears to solve this issue. ECS Upgraded Throttle Body Actuator Gears are constructed from durable Teflon-reinforced nylon, safeguarding gear teeth from wear and ensuring long-term reliability.

The ECS Tuning Center Support Bearing Brace is designed to enhance the performance and longevity of your drivetrain. To improve upon the factory design, and to create a performance alternative, our engineers started by designing a set of exact-fit, split polyurethane bushings that clamp around your existing driveshaft bearing. Crafted from 30A durometer polyurethane, our material choice effectively eliminates bushing deflection without causing an increase in noise, vibration, and harshness. By eliminating deflection, this design ensures a longer lifespan than the stock center support bearing, making it a great investment for enthusiasts looking to maintain their aging BMW chassis.

Designed specifically for your chassis our F80 lowering springs feature a linear style spring similar to a coilover. The issue with coilovers is the rough ride due to a drastic drop and much higher spring rates. When you have a higher spring rate like coilovers, it takes much more force to compress the spring, leading to a much more rigid ride. ECS lowering springs provide a happy medium between the factory suspension and coilover suspension. Our springs are stiffer than factory but softer than a coilover spring to achieve the balance of increased performance and aesthetics while retaining a comfortable ride.

If you're experiencing misfires, poor fuel economy, reduced engine power, or ignition-related DTCs, a failing ignition coil is the likely culprit. The S85's MSS65 DME�uses a unique ignition system known as�"Ionic Current Control". During engine development, BMW realized that standard knock sensors were insufficient for observing�pre-ignition and misfires on a high-revving ten-cylinder engine. In lieu of standard�knock sensors, Ionic Current Control uses each spark plug as a current probe, applying a low voltage to the electrode immediately after the power stroke and sending the resulting current to the Ionic Current Control Unit (ISS) for evaluation. To accomplish this, the S85 used a modified "pencil" style ignition coil, which eliminated the Zener diode in the secondary winding for accurate current measurement. These ignition coils are manufactured to the exact specifications of the OE Ionic Current Control-compatible ignition coil, and will not trigger ignition-related fault codes in the DME.�

Some of the biggest issues when owning a BMW can come from cooling system components. Failure is seen with the plastic fittings and adapters from years of hot to cold temperature fluctuation. The N52 engine sees failure at the plastic adapter connecting the thermostat hose to the cylinder head, this adapter simply shears off at the end of the barbed fitting. Our engineering team decided a billet aluminum piece was a much better option to contend with the temperature fluctuation.

Hey! I'm Nikko and I am a Sales Rep here at ECS Tuning. When I was 17 I was very blessed to have gotten the opportunity to get a 2018 340i Xdrive. This was a huge upgrade from my previous 2014 328i Xdrive which was my first car. I originally was going to do the classic "Downpipe & Tune" and leave it at that but the itch for more that most enthusiasts get hit me hard. I ended up going with a Pure 800 Turbo, meth injection, E85, the whole 9 yards. I was making around 650hp with that setup. Unfortunately, my transmission started to slip. I went ahead and got a transmission upgrade from Pure Drivetrain which was not a Pretty Penny but it was worth it in the end. I ended up getting a Speedtech Top Mount Turbo Kit, specifically a 6466 setup since "why not, I have the transmission that can hold the power now". Now I am running port injection as well with E85. I am pushing around 40PSI which is around 800hp give or take. Safe to say at this point I know these cars like the back of my hand and I would be glad to help find parts for this chassis or any German car for that matter!
