ECS GEOMET® premium brake rotors start with quality materials and precision ECS machining. That would be enough for most of us, but it is only the beginning. To prevent brake pad deposits and reduce fade, select a drilled and slotted ECS GEOMET® rotor. Cross-drilling dissipates heat faster for better braking and reduced fade. Slotting cleans the pads by moving water, gasses, and contaminants away from the pad/rotor contact surface to further enhance braking performance.

Stock diverter valves just can't handle performance upgrades. Add a little boost and they get all weak in the knees and blow the diaphragm to pieces. Forge knows this. That's why they've engineered boost-hardy diverter valves tough enough to take the pressure without blowing their lids. These are completely serviceable valves with an aluminum piston and o-ring seal, compared to the easily tearing rubber diaphragm found in the OEM valve. Includes 3 different springs to fine tune the valve to your liking!

If you know your BMW shows a yellow light on startup, the (likely) original oil level sensor has ceased to output a reliable signal to the DME. Previously, BMW drivers would ignore the annoying yellow light, as the stock replacement sensor was prohibitively priced. ECS Tuning is proud to offer replacement sensors at a much more palatable price! Replacing the level sensor is a simple task, and will provide reliable readings for years. Don't stare at that light another day.

Tire pressure monitoring is a convenient feature - when it's working properly. Too often, when the tire pressure light illuminates in your BMW, the cause has nothing to do with the pressure inside your tire. A worn tire pressure sensor is usually the culprit, sending false readings to the ECU, causing unnecessary concern to the driver. ECS offers replacements sold individually or as a set of four. After installation, simply navigate to the TPM screen to clear the light from your dash. Also great as a set of four when upgrading or changing to new wheels.

Timely, quality maintenance is a necessity for high performance vehicles.
