Stop worrying about breaking your weak differential mounting tabs! The factory E30 differential cover features only one mounting provision. While this may be adequate for your Grandmother's automatic M20 car, it is a guaranteed failure point on your boosted M5X. After years of broken covers, mounting tabs (and dreams), Turner's team of E30 enthusiasts created the ultimate reliability solution! Unlike the OEM cast aluminum cover, this cover is constructed from 6061-T6 billet aluminum, providing a 30% increase in material strength alone. A secondary mounting ear was added to the billet cover to further increase the cover's strength, providing an additional source of stability and driveline shock absorption. The secondary mount is secured to the chassis using a sheet metal bracket and a billet aluminum plate, which can be bolted on for easy installation or welded for maximum strength and rigidity.

Most modern BMWs are notorious for their cooling system issues, often leaving owners stranded or causing irreversible engine damage in the event of failure. The coolant expansion tank is at the heart of these issues-a crucial component responsible for holding hot engine coolant under high pressure. Unfortunately, BMW manufactured the factory N55 expansion tanks 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 E8X/E9X N55 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!

Eliminate misfires and unleash the full potential of your N54/N55 with this industry-leading B58 ignition coil upgrade. Designed for easy installation and unparalleled reliability, it is the ultimate plug-and-play solution for performance enthusiasts. WHY UPGRADE? B58 ignition coils provide up to 2.3 times more spark energy than OE N55 pencil-style ignition coils, effectively eliminating misfires even on high-performance setups. Whether your vehicle is heavily modified or completely stock, these ignition coils deliver unparalleled performance with zero downsides! For tuners, the Turner Motorsport kit also allows for precise adjustments to ignition dwell time through compatible tuning software (MHD, BM3, etc.), giving you complete control over your engines performance.

This fitting is found at the end of the master cylinder reservoir hose. It is tasked with delivering hydraulic fluid to the master cylinder inlet, a crucial part of clutch system operation. Unfortunately, BMW chose plastic for constructing the factory piece. After years of exposure to brake fluid, the plastic fitting degrades, resulting in a total loss of clutch hydraulic pressure and brake fluid all over your carpet. Our team of E30 enthusiasts is aware of this issue, and aims to solve this increasingly common failure with a durable aluminum fitting! Swap your fragile plastic fitting for our 6061 billet aluminum alternative during your next clutch master cylinder service to ensure leak-free operation for the life of your vehicle.

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 E46 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 E46 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!

Built to last, made from a single piece of 6061 billet aluminum with a rugged and good-looking hard-coat anodizing this diff cover can handle anything you throw at it. Not only is it an absolute masterpiece to look at but this billet diff cover checks all the boxes for features needed. Reinforced mounting ears for strength and stability, never again will you break an ear off your diff cover like the factory units are known to do.

This exhaust allows you to turn up the volume and let the S55 roar a hearty exhaust tone. Let's be honest, what's the point of owning an S55 if you're not going to upgrade the exhaust? Turner's signature muffler design allows you to transfer the exhaust valve from your factory system directly onto your new Turner system. The Turner exhaust signature muffler design allows for two flow paths that change both tone and volume. With the vehicle in eco or comfort mode, the valves remain closed, with the closed valves the exhaust system allows the gasses to flow through the muffler toning down the volume and giving a more refined exhaust note. While in driving modes sport or sport+ the valve opens and the flow path changes to a "straight flow path" essentially turning into a straight-piped exhaust for the least amount of restriction and the most amount of twin-turbo S55 sound!

Upgrading to the Turner Billet Differential cover gives you the strength you need to push your car to its limits without worrying about snapping a diff mount from clutch kicking or other shocks to the drivetrain. In addition to its enhanced strength, this differential cover includes numerous other upgrades and conveniences. These include improved cooling and lubrication for the ring gear, upgraded fill and drain plugs, and the option to expand for an external oil cooler for extreme motorsport usage. Designed to complement both upgraded daily drivers and extensively modified track cars, it also offers a visually appealing design. This diff cover is cool, literally, the entire construction was designed with optimized cooling in mind. External fins are strategically placed on the rear face, bottom, and between the mounting ears of the cover, serving as effective heat sinks for optimal heat dissipation. This ensures stable temperatures, promoting longevity for both the fluid and your differential. Additionally, the internal design ensures continuous oiling and lubrication to the ring gear, maintaining its stability and preventing fatigue by controlling heat more effectively. An internal baffle at the cover's corner helps maintain proper pressure and prevents cavitation.

Constructed from 6061 Billet Aluminum, these mounts are built to last. While most performance drivetrain mounts feature solid or polyurethane-bonded aluminum construction, the engineers at Turner designed a unique four-piece design that disburses NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness). This multi-piece design offers the added benefit of serviceability. Additionally, encapsulating the polyurethane and adding a TecaPeek isolator prevents heat transfer to the insert, increasing the lifespan and durability of the mount.

The Turner Motorsport Performance Chassis Mount Short Shifter removes the shift carrier assembly entirely removing any prospect of flex caused by bushings or driveline movement. By contrast, this chassis mount shifter offers a drastic reduction in shift lever travel, vagueness, and side-to-side play. An elevated base allows for moving the fulcrum point upwards, resulting in a much shorter and more precise throw. Shift times are further reduced by a tall, "rally style" shift lever, used to aid in leverage while also bringing the lever closer to the steering wheel. Turner's design incorporates a proprietary centering spring design, which is adjustable for increasing or decreasing self-centering force. In short, Turner's design eliminates all the drawbacks of your factory BMW shifter, translating to more control, greater precision, shorter throws, and faster shift times.
