Whenever a service is performed that requires the removal of the valve cover, replacing the gasket is so simple and effective that it should be done every time. A common source of oil leaks and excessive engine smoke, the valve cover gasket seals the engine cover to the cylinder head, allowing oil to effectively lubricate your valvetrain. ECS offers genuine OEM and Elring Valve Cover Gaskets for your N52 powered BMW E9X.

The lowered ride height achieved by upgrading your factory suspension is a consequence of the modification, not its purpose. With this knowledge, you can appreciate the value of more finely wrought suspension designs, like those from ST. The ST X Performance Coilovers utilize tempered high-strength springs, hardened chrome piston rods, and galvanized zinc-plated strut housings - a consequence of which is a powerful, aggressive stance. But the enduring value of this arrangement lay in its durability, reliability, and reverence for precise engineering.

Whenever working on your car's interior or disassembling interior or trunk components to access exterior body parts, it's not uncommon to break or lose various fasteners and clips.

ECS offers genuine BMW and Bosch Leak Diagnosis Pumps for your BMW, resolving this frustrating emissions problem.

A true sign of an experienced automotive enthusiast is an attention to and appreciation for high-quality brakes. Similar to the function of quality tires, great brakes allow the driver to realize the full potential of other performance modifications. Massive 13.3 inch rotors and a 6 piston caliper arrangement allow you to brake later before turns, reduce fade that can upset the stability of the car under braking, and most importantly, match the confidence you have in your vehicle's power with equal trust in your ability to control it.

The MKV Jetta 2.5L features highly individualized design elements that make successfully complementing the vehicle with aftermarket wheels a serious challenge. Alzor Style 010 wheels feature a split-spoke mesh design that accentuates rather than distracts from the VW's natural steel musculature. Silver or Gold, staggered or square sets of 17" and 18" wheels are available with 1.5", 2", 2.5" or 3" machined lips, and include 57.1mm hubcentric rings to ensure vibration-free fitment on your vehicle.

Keeping the oil inside your engine is paramount to engine health and longevity. If there is a leak that you're not aware of, your oil can dip to dangerous levels. The valve cover is a common place for leaks. Years of extreme temperatures degrade the gaskets and cause failure. Replace yours to keep your engine leak free.
