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!

Is your engine throwing a misfire code? The problem is generally a failing ignition coil. Ignition coils provide spark, which is an essential step of the internal combustion process. If the spark is faint or nonexistent, power will decrease, and your engine will experience misfires.

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.
