The bright colored calipers will give your vehicle the look that turns heads and allow you to get just the right look, especially being paired with our ECS 2-piece rotors. Now featuring F80 M3 calipers!

The bolt in upgrade for clean crisp shifting has arrived courtesy of Turner Motorsport. These Performance Shifter Bushing Assembly don’t require unfavorable modifications, such as cutting or even burning of factory components, to install simply remove your old assembly and bolt in your new poly bushing! The Turner Motorsport Performance rear shifter bushing is designed to remove the shifter play caused by an old failed rubber shifter bushing. Manufacturing the bushing from polyurethane instead of rubber reduces the amount of stretch caused by the moving part through the bushing.

BMW E46 owners have recognized a few significant weak areas in the factory suspension. ECS tuning has undertaken the challenge of swiftly remedying these chassis and handling shortcomings. Trailing arm limiters save the life of your rear trailing arm bushings by eliminating unnecessary slop at the bushings, while the shock tower brace greatly reduce chassis flex, improving overall rigidity. The kits not only extend the life of critical suspension components, but also serve as needed performance upgrades by allowing for more reliable enthusiastic driving.

Introducing the Turner IAT Relocation Harness. BMW designed your air intake system in a way that put the intake air temperature sensor close to the engine, subjecting your engine's computer to air temps that are artificially high. When the ECU reads these warmer temperatures, timing and fueling are cut, resulting in less power and torque. By relocating the IAT to a less heat soak prone position within the air intake tract, the Turner Motorsport relocation harness offers a safe, power-preserving, plug-and-play solution to heat soak - for better, more consistent power delivery.

Today's modern engines were made with complex tools that only dealerships seem to have on hand. This forces one to take their vehicle to a dealer in order to get routine service. Put the power in your hands with these new tools from Schwaben. Free yourself from the dealer and do more services yourself!

Stainless reinforced brake lines provide more confident and dependable stopping by maintaining consistent brake pressure, long lasting corrosion resistance, and increased protection from failure. Even when new, factory style fabric mesh lined rubber hoses are prone to expansion under the pressure of hard braking, whether it be highway panic stops or threshold braking at the track. ECS lines are braided with stainless steel mesh, affording expansion resistance. This resistance to expansion creates a firmer pedal, and more direct pedal feel for your BMW.

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.

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.

Is your X5's factory air ride starting to show its age? Now is a great time to bail out of the air suspension game and install a coilover conversion or a cup kit. Due to deterioration in the rubber airbags, the average air ride system is designed with only a 10-year life expectancy. Unless you want to spend thousands of your hard earned dollars on maintaining or replacing these set-ups, we have one very cost-effective solution—good old springs! No cutting or welding—just out with the old and in with the new. Never have air ride problems again!

Most new performance cars could use a more athletic, performance-purposed wheel fitment.
