ECS is proud to present the Powerflex brand of performance Lower Engine Mount Bushings for the MINI R50/52/53.

So for a dynamic set one large bushing set and one smaller bushing is needed. Fits into the stock mount locations. A better secured engine means the engine can effectively transfer power through the drivetrain, and polyurethane mounts allow for minimal transference of vibration into the cabin.

The Z3 and Z4 have proven to be very solid vehicles with exceptional styling, but there is one issue for the M54 2.5L engine, the DISA valve. This valve controls the path of air into the intake manifold, thats why the most common sign of failure is having idle issues. When you have issues idling then high fuel milage and lack of performance are usually part of the problem. If your BMW experiences these symptoms, don't wait to fix it. In some cases, parts of the DISA--including a metal spreader pin--can be sucked into your engine, causing serious engine damage.

Massive rotors, multiple-piston brakes, and advanced pads are glamorous, eye-catching upgrades to your vehicle. But experienced enthusiasts know that all that stopping power relies on adequately bled brake lines. Your brake fluid is incompressible, like a metal; but air is compressible, so ridding your lines of this gas is imperative for fully realized braking power and response. ECS has an array of solutions to tighten up your braking system, including a Power Brake Bleeder, multiple synthetic Brake Fluid options, and a premium Schwaben Brake Bleeder Wrench.

Stuffing new brake pads in your BMW doesn't really qualify as a brake job, especially on high-milers and vehicles driven where the roads are salted in winter. Pads and rotors don't just wear out. Many suffer from rust scale accumulations, warping, and surface pitting that reduce braking efficiency--and extend stopping distances far beyond what BMW intended. Now you can install pads, rotors, and hardware at the same time to restore driving pleasure, and braking performance appropriate for a true driving machine.
