Why did Turner make an exhaust upgrade for Z3M? When shopping for performance BMWs tailored for autocross or other motorsports endeavors, buyers often gravitate toward the revered M3 lineup. Initially, attention is drawn to the E36 and E46 M3 models, which feature epic motors such as the S52 and S54. However, among the motorsport vehicles, the Z3M tends to be overshadowed in BMW's performance lineup. True enthusiasts like yourself know that the Z3 not only has a great weight distribution and rigid chassis, but it also comes loaded with the epic motors sought after in the E36 and E46 M3. If you are fortunate enough to own a Z3M, you're already in possession of one of the legendary S52 or S54 motors! Cherish your Z3M and enlighten the community about just how awesome these vehicles are with a great-looking and sounding exhaust!

The ECS & Turner Motorsport E9X 335 full exhaust systems are ready to improve your driving experience with hearty exhaust notes and a noticeable bump in performance. Designed to mount with the factory exhaust hangers, this exhaust is a bolt-on replacement for the OE version. The full exhaust systems include a High flow, valved, titanium or stainless-steel muffler and is available as Cat-back system as well as a full downpipe back system.

Since the M340i/M240i/xDrive was designed to make impressive power in stock form with its B58 engine (and loads more with upgrades), these cars feature some heavy-duty cooling hardware. In order to keep oil temperatures down (something many late model M cars have struggled with) requires a large oil cooler. BMW engineers positioned the oil cooler quite low under the car, positioned horizontally - an aerodynamic design that creates a vacuum force while driving, drawing heat from the oil cooler. The issue some of the vehicle owners have experienced is road debris from small branches to chunks of ice that have impacted the OE belly pan hard enough to crack the oil cooler draining the car's oil rapidly. Being one of the lowest points of the car, even a close encounter with a parking block can mean the end of the road for the factory belly pan - and oil cooler. Damage to the belly pan means reduced cooling, which can result in dangerously high engine temperatures. Once the belly pan is damaged, there is no longer any protection for the oil cooler, meaning damage to the cooler and a catastrophic loss in oil pressure may be right around the corner. Designed using 8 gauge 5052 aluminum, this skid plate kit offers plenty of strength to protect your oil cooler and transmission. We also made sure this would be an easy, reversible upgrade by maintaining OE mounting locations and hardware that requires NO cutting or modification to your vehicle for fitment. Our engineering team also felt it was important to maintain some of the cooling features the BMW engineers spec'd out such as having a trim seal to fit snugly against the cooler edges to create the same vacuum cooling effects as stock.

Introducing the Turner Motorsport DSSR for your Z3. Turner's DSSR delivers a more controlled and tighter shifting experience over the factory selector rod. Pair this DSSR with Turner's poly rear shifter bushing for the full upgraded shifting experience. This DSSR is designed for the Z3 6-cylinder models that have the selector rod p# 25111222780. Short Shifter Stats: BMWs have historically been plagued by very long throw shifters from the factory - luckily, Turner Motorsport has the solution to this. Turner's short shifters are height and throw adjustable, offering up to 52% throw reduction over stock. Double adjustability enables you to find the sweet spot that will make you excited to drive your car again. You're probably wondering about the long shifter. Right? Turner's rally lever extension is a Quick Change option - the lower portion of the short shifter is keyed, making switching back and forth between long and short levers a breeze. We like the taller lever because you can keep your hands closer to the wheel under spirited driving conditions or track days. Whether your vehicle is strictly for the track, a weekend warrior, or the daily driver - Turner's short shifter kit suits your needs.

This is more than your ordinary roof rack. Our range of roof racks may share a consistent blend of striking good looks and incredible functionality, but here's the twist: each one is meticulously tailored for your vehicle's chassis, ensuring a seamless and precise fit. Unique geometry, patterns, and profiles are used to integrate flawlessly with factory mounting points and fit snugly within the space constraints of your vehicle's body. This guarantees that every roof rack aligns perfectly with the front and rear, with no overhang and zero interference with doors, hatches, or any aspect of your daily vehicle use.

Extended periods of aggressive driving causes the amount of heat in the rotors to build up, & as the temperature of the rotors increase, the metal begins to expand. With solid rotors, this can lead to numerous issues such as warping of the rotors, unexpected cracking along the inner "ring" or friction surfaces, & increased brake fade. Turner's TrackSport rotors feature a full floating two-piece design & slotted grooves to allow smooth, consistent braking force & easy expulsion of gases & dust created by the brake pads & rotors under heavy braking.

Turner designed their short shifter for all drivers. The weekend warriors, the trackday monsters, and even the daily drivers. They wanted to make something that made sense for any BMW enthusiast. For those who want to drive your car to the track, drive some hotlaps, and then drive back home, they developed a rally lever extension. Their rally lever extension allows you to keep your hands close to the steering wheel through shifts, in efforts to quicken shifts and reaction times on the track. The rally lever comes off and on in seconds with the unique locking design they engineered.

To enhance performance and amplify the sound, we've thoroughly revamped the factory intake system. Instead of the standard plastic inlet tube linking the turbo to the intake box, we've introduced a superior inlet tube and silicone coupler for a complete upgrade. The silicone coupler ensures an airtight seal on the turbo inlet, while the rotomolded intake tube boasts robust construction and a seamless interior flow path for optimized airflow. It's important to highlight our distinctive dual-cone filter design, featuring a standard conical shape with a smaller inverted cone in the center. This configuration produces an exhilarating sound when lifting off the throttle. The airflow pattern as air exits the filter creates a unique turbo flutter sound, adding to the excitement of the driving experience.

The E92 M3 is an amazing looking car right out of the box but a common BMW issue is the height of the front vs rear bumpers. Dating as far back as the E30, BMW front bumpers have been much lower to the ground than the rear, and the E92 M3 suffers the same fate. This results in the rear bumper appearing incomplete, especially on lowered BMWs. Our add-on diffuser is a unique option for balancing out the rear bumper with the height of the front bumper for that level to ground appearance.

Only a hand full of E36 models came with a factory equipped x-brace and the factory x braces do not compare to Turner billet brace. The Turner Motorsport X-brace connects the subframe to the chassis of the car to improve strength, stability and reduce flex. With the added strength and rigidity you have a more solid connection for your engine and steering which results in a better steering feel and overall handling. Along with improved handling the Turner X-Brace covers the engine oil pan providing protection from damage.

Who doesn't like insurance against engine failure? N52/N54/N55/S55 BMW owners commonly experience a shredded serpentine belt, which can get sucked in through the crank seal on the front of the engine. Oil and coolant leaks are often the culprit, causing the serpentine belt to slip past the crank pulley, getting sucked in behind the harmonic balancer, moving its way past the crank seal, and ultimately ending up in the oil pan. Once belt fragments are in the pan, tiny pieces can block the oil pickup, get caught in the timing chain, or end up in your valve cover. Any and all of these scenarios cause expensive damage at best and engine failure at worst. Our engineers designed a cost-effective and reliable crank seal protection plate for N52/N54/N55/S55 BMW engines that protects the front crank seal from a shredded serpentine belt getting sucked into the engine. We recommend these as inexpensive insurance for all N52, N54, N55 and S55 owners.

The factory E46 thermostat housing is a combined unit featuring a plastic housing and a built in thermostat that you cannot replace separately. These plastic all-in-one units are commonly know to crack or fail causing a headache. This unit not only converts your plastic housing into a billet aluminum unit that will not crack but also swaps out the integrated thermostat for a replaceable thermostat. The ability to swap out thermostats separately from the whole housing opens up doors to changing thermostats to different temperature ratings based on your application while also providing lower maintenance costs. The days of buying full replacement thermostats are over!

This intake looks and performs well but we cant forget about the best part about upgrading from your factory induction...the sounds, the TURBO SOUNDS!

What's the point of having a car with forced induction if you don't get to hear it!? The engineers at Turner completely understand what a weapon the B58 is and how important it is to hear the exhilarating induction that it can provide. This intake eliminates the factory intake muffler to let out the glorious turbo and induction noise. Once upgraded to this intake you car will feature turbo whistle and air induction noises that can be heard and enjoyed from both the cabin and exterior of the car. This is just the start to your performance upgrades for your B58 but let us tell you, this is one heck of a start to your upgrades, don't miss out on this aesthetically beautiful and feature rich intake that transforms the B58 experience in your G30!
