Your windshield cowl is the black plastic component covering the electrical wires and connections at the base of your windshield. It serves to protect important electrical components from weather and other damaging influences. The cowl can be easily damaged when replacing windshield wipers or the windshield itself. When the part becomes cracked or torn, water and other elements can damage your vehicle’s electrical system, potentially ruining a number of components. ECS offers a genuine OEM BMW replacement Windshield Cowl, guaranteeing fitment and quality.

ECS Black Out Grille Sets are distinguished by their full matte black ABS plastic construction. The design means that any chips or scratches on the grille will not reveal a white surface underneath black paint, as the parts are integrally black. Engineered to exact OEM dimensions for precise fitment into the BMW F10 5 series, the grilles are available in a carbon fiber-look or matte black finish.

While the BMW E9X is capable of sustained, high-performance driving, its suspension system is not without flaws. Specifically, the rear trailing arm fitted to these models has a tendency to fail without symptoms, potentially leaving you stranded without a critical suspension component. ECS has solved this issue with a meticulously engineered Performance Rear Trailing Arm, made from aluminum & better designed to withstand the demands placed on it. Not only is the unit more robust & dependable than the factory unit, it's also lighter, reducing unsprung weight.

With the 1M having such a limited production time it only gave enthusiasts a taste of real 1 series perfection. The design of these vehicles being so close has helped immensely in building the 128/135 models into something near the performance level of the M model. The first step in getting there is through the suspension, what good is a high horsepower engine if the suspension cant hold you steady. Offering M upgrades from Strut bars to control arms and all bearing the Genuine BMW symbol of quality.

Built for performance and show, the 69 Series Typhoon™ Air Intake System is a free-flowing mandrel-bent aluminum tube induction system designed to fit many sport compact performance vehicles.

Control over camber and caster is critical to achieving the perfect stance and handling characteristics. Whenever your ride height is lowered, the new geometry specified by the control arms introduces negative camber and caster, compromising your tire's contact patch and altering wheel fitment. SPC Front and Rear Adjustable Camber Plates and Bushings give the discerning E39 owner the control over suspension dynamics that makes a good handling car great. With a wide range of caster and camber adjustability, a new-found level of handling tunability is a welcomed addition.

If you notice a worn CV boot and a rusted or broken axle shaft, investing in a complete axle shaft assembly is the wisest decision for several reasons. Ease of installation is a primary benefit to using an axle shaft assembly; the clamps, cv boots, and seals are all pre-installed, taking the guesswork out of the parts selection process. Also, by replacing both cv boots at the same time, the assembly wears at the same rate, making parts replacement simpler in the future. ECS offers OEM and aftermarket front Axle Shaft Assemblies, specifically designed for the E46.

If you own an E30, you're probably familiar with RSBS (Rear Shock Blowout Syndrome). This widespread condition affects many E30 cars, and is caused by a congenital weakness in the rear shock mount design. Symptoms include knocking over bumps, pogo-sticking, poor handling, and shock rods poking their heads above their normal installed height, looking for a mount to hold them steady. Good news. We have the cure. Install our all new reinforcement plates, or grab our complete upgrade kit with plates and heavy-duty mounts. Don't suffer with RSBS. Get the Cure.

Suspension components on any vehicle wear out from rough roads and harsh driving conditions.
