The 6-speed Getrag 420G transmission, found in the European E36 M3 Evolution and E46 M3, has become an increasingly popular swap amongst E36 owners. Its increased strength, longevity, and overdrive sixth gear make it a great choice for both track cars and daily drivers. Unfortunately, many of the components needed to complete this transplant have become hard to source. Despite increased demand from enthusiasts, BMW has blocked the sale of European E36 M3 parts into North America. Turner's team of BMW enthusiasts and engineers recognized this and set out to develop a replacement for the unavailable, 420G-specific transmission crossbrace. Initial investigation revealed that the factory cast aluminum construction was failure-prone, so durable 5GA 1018 steel was chosen to provide a lasting upgrade. The final product is finished in a brilliant silver powder coat to resist corrosion and maximize appearance. Despite being much stronger than the factory crossmember, Turner's design is dimensionally identical, ensuring a perfect fit with your six-speed swap.

Maximize cooling system efficiency and performance with our High Performance Cooling System Bundle and complete system upgrade that includes our High Performance Aluminum Radiator and High Performance Aluminum Heat Exchanger. Designed to handle the intense heat generated by tuned and track-driven BMWs, this package delivers superior temperature control, improved reliability, and consistent performance under demanding conditions. For performance-focused applications, the factory BMW G2X radiator and heat exchanger simply don't meet the demands of higher heat loads and spirited driving. Like many BMWs, the factory heat exchanger and radiator feature molded plastic end tanks common and well-documented failure point. In addition to this issue, the single-row cores are far undersized for high-horsepower, track-focused builds, measuring a measly 25mm (heat exchanger) and 34mm (radiator). With these issues in mind, we set out to offer the ultimate cooling system upgrade for the G2X B58 platform: an all-aluminum, dual-row, high-performance radiator and heat exchanger kit! Engineered in-house by our dedicated team of BMW enthusiasts, our cooling upgrade kit offers significant increases in both cooling capacity and overall system durability. To improve upon the factory design, our engineers started by addressing the weak, failure-prone plastic end tanks. Constructed from durable 6061-T6 aluminum and TIG-welded for added strength, these end tanks are guaranteed to outlast the factory design. Additionally, our proprietary end tanks feature CNC-machined billet aluminum hose connectors, flanges, and mounting brackets. This ensures seamless integration with the factory hoses, fan shroud, and accessories, providing a trouble-free fit and effortless installation. To increase the radiator's thermal capacity, we replaced the 34mm, single-row core with a dual-row, 42mm core. This increases the effective volume of the cooling system, thereby improving the radiator's ability to dissipate heat. The heat exchanger received the same 42mm dual-row core, a massive increase over the factory 25mm size. This grants lower IATs, keeping your car cooler on both the street and the track!

Give your 24V swap the intake it deserves. The Turner 24V Swap Heat-Shield Intake System is purpose-built for E30 engine swaps and engineered to keep intake air cold, fit cleanly into tight engine bays, and preserve the factory air duct. Most swaps leave you with two less-than-ideal choices: bolt a filter directly to the MAF and suck in hot under-hood air, or cobble together a universal intake that still lacks proper heat shielding. Turner's system eliminates those compromises. With its low-profile, heat-shielded design, this intake keeps the filter isolated from engine heat as much as possible, maintains compatibility with the stock 3.0" MAF, and supports factory CCV/ICV routing. The result is OEM-level fitment with modern airflow performance, no wiring hacks, no vacuum headaches, just a clean and effective intake solution for your swap.

Replace your aging, failure-prone factory headlight wiring with ECS Tunings high-quality harness and restore confidence in your lighting system.

Unleash the full potential of your B58 while retaining the factory-valved rear muffler. The Turner Motorsport Resonator & Center Muffler Delete replaces the restrictive factory center section with lightweight, high-flow 304 stainless steel tubing, unlocking a deeper, more aggressive tone and improved exhaust flow. This direct bolt-on upgrade sheds about 5 lbs, smooths exhaust routing, and eliminates factory bottlenecks for better performance and sharper sound. Fully compatible with the stock downpipe and rear muffler, it�s an easy, reversible way to add excitement to your M40i without replacing the entire system.

Unlock the full potential of your S54�s valvetrain with our High Performance Cam Followers/Rocker Arms, built for precision, durability, and reliability in high-revving performance engines.

Each unit is precision-ground for consistent clearances and smooth, stable valvetrain motion at all RPMs. Despite heavy-duty construction, our design retains the same weight as the factory rocker arm, preserving OE valvetrain geometry and balance while offering superior longevity and performance. Rocker arms wear in conjunction with the camshafts, meaning the two must be replaced simultaneously. Aftermarket and performance camshaft options (Schrick, CAT-Cams, etc.) are typically ground from softer blanks and, as a result, cannot be used with factory rocker arms. We tested our performance cam followers with aftermarket camshafts to validate compatibility, ensuring smooth, reliable, and safe operation under demanding conditions.

Recognizing the critical need for increased cooling capacity, the team at Turner Motorsport partnered with CSF Race, world leaders in high-performance cooling systems with over 50 years of experience.

Lower IAT's and get the maximum performance from your N55 with the upgraded stepped intercooler from Turner. A direct upgrade and replacement for your stock intercooler. It's a basic principle of high performance: "A cool engine is a happy engine." In addition to reducing engine temperatures, cooler air is denser. An engine works as a glorified air compressor. Denser air means a larger mass of air and fuel in the same intake volume, resulting in more power. Turner Motorsport has developed an intercooler upgrade that is far superior to the stock unit. Constructed from cast aluminum with a bar and plate design, this intercooler increases both cross-sectional area and frontal surface area by 80%. The attractive black finish is stealthy and easy to clean, while the etched "Turner" logos on the front of the intercooler add just the right amount of flash. If you're looking for the ultimate upgrade for your turbo BMW's intake system, look no further than the Turner Motorsport Stepped Intercooler.

Most modern BMWs are notorious for their cooling system issues, often leaving owners stranded or causing irreversible engine damage in the event of failure. At the heart of these issues is the coolant expansion tank, a crucial component responsible for holding hot engine coolant under high pressure. Unfortunately, BMW chose to manufacture the factory E90 M3 expansion tank out of plastic. After years of exposure to high temperatures and chemical-laden antifreeze, the plastic degrades, eventually weakening enough to rupture. With this failure in mind, Turner's team of BMW enthusiasts set out to develop the ultimate solution for E90 M3 owners: a robust expansion tank built to last! Constructed from durable 5052 TIG-welded aluminum, this tank withstands high temperatures and pressures without deteriorating over time. Unlike the OEM molded plastic tank, Turner's alternative is not prone to cracking, leaking, or weakening. With Turner's Heavy Duty Aluminum Expansion Tank Kit, you'll never experience expansion tank failure again! To ensure precise fitment, 3D CAD modeling was utilized to design an upgraded tank that installs just like the factory unit. All bungs, nipples, and fittings are precision-machined for a reliable seal with factory hose ends. Unlike other aftermarket coolant reservoirs, this tank retains the factory coolant capacity and features a laser-cut Turner logo plate at the top of the tank to provide an exact level for filling. Additionally, internal baffles were implemented to prevent fluid cavitation inside the expansion tank. This ensures air pockets are not introduced to the cooling system and prevents false coolant level warnings during performance driving. Designed for both high-performance builds and daily drivers, the tank features a premium wrinkle black powder coat for a sleek "OEM+" look. This durable finish goes beyond style�it prevents corrosion for long-lasting reliability. In addition to the expansion tank, this kit also features a silicone overflow hose, a high-quality level sensor, and an OE expansion tank cap to ensure a comprehensive cooling system service. Don't let the problematic factory expansion tank leave you stranded. Upgrade your E90 M3 and drive with confidence!
