BMW Exterior Trim, Body Parts, Aero and Styling for BMW 3 Series E36 (1992-1998)

Experience a modern interpretation of LTW styling with our latest creation. Inspired by the classic E36 lightweight, and crafted with precision by our expert engineering team at Turner, we proudly introduce our carbon LTW spoiler, setting a new standard in the industry. Carefully crafted with a multi-piece carbon design, our spoiler is not just an accessory; it's a work of art featuring a flawless glass-like finish and perfectly matched carbon weave.

As fellow enthusiasts, we understand the importance of preserving the integrity of E36s and their components. With iconic colors like Techno Violet, Boston Green, and Estoril Blue in mind, we refuse to compromise the original trunk and paint with traditional drilling methods. Instead, our carbon LTW spoiler features an innovative fastening system that requires no modifications and preserves your car's pristine showroom finish. With precision-engineered billet clamps and high-quality 3M double-sided tape, installation is a breeze, requiring only basic hand tools. No drilling is necessary.

Research and development:

We feel it is crucial to share our journey into the design and engineering that went into developing this remarkable carbon spoiler. The development of this LTW spoiler was not a quick process; it spanned over three years. Throughout this time, we dedicated ourselves to refining, testing, and making adjustments to craft a spoiler that we're thrilled to introduce to the community.

From perfecting the form and fitment to ensuring the spoilers's stability, every aspect of this project presented significant challenges. This carbon spoiler is comprised of 5 components, the base spoiler, 70mm risers, upper spoiler, gurney flap, and most importantly the mounting brackets.

Anyone familiar with carbon fiber knows the difficulty of working with these nearly 50-inch wide pieces to achieve straightness without flex while maintaining a consistent carbon weave pattern. During the initial stages of carbon testing, the manufacturing process proved to be nothing short of impossible. Issues such as carbon fiber twisting during curing, waviness in the exterior appearance, and mismatched carbon weave posed significant hurdles.

Furthermore, ensuring precise fitment was paramount. Not only did the spoiler components need to seamlessly integrate with the trunk gaps, but they also had to clear adjacent body portions without error. We underwent rigorous testing, cycling through five sets of carbon spoiler prototypes before achieving a result that met our exact standards.

Numerous adjustments were made throughout the project, including modifications to the carbon composition, bracketry, and the incorporation of gaskets between carbon layers. Our passion and dedication were poured into every aspect of this product.

Throughout the project timeline, we conducted extensive long-term testing on various vehicles, subjecting the spoiler to speeds beyond what can be publicly disclosed. When we say these spoilers are secure, we mean it. Utilizing both 3M double-sided tape and four billet brackets with a total of eight fasteners, this spoiler can be confidently installed. The billet mounting brackets are designed to fasten over the top of the factory seam sealer on the underside of the trunk for maximum stability. Near the end of testing, we decided to add an adhesive-backed gasket to the underside of the base, providing yet another layer of paint protection.

Styling:

The greatest part we have enjoyed over this project is the versatile style of the spoiler as designed. If you have read this far into our development process we can say strongly that you are a car enthusiast, well so are we. As car enthusiasts we can never leave the car alone, changing setups and most importantly styling. With the multi-piece design, the option to change up your look is just moments away with a little help from some hand tools.

Initially, we were fully committed to running the complete setup: full height, 70mm risers, and gurney flap – all inspired by the LTW look with a modern carbon twist. However, as we spent more time with the spoiler, our perspective shifted. We decided to remove the 70mm risers and suddenly rediscovered our love for the E36's original aesthetic. Without the risers, the spoiler took on a new, understated elegance, blending seamlessly with the car's overall design.

Time passed, and we began to explore other options. Removing the gurney flap toned down the race car vibe, revealing yet another layer of the spoiler's versatility. Each subtle alteration brought about a significant change in style, proving that even the smallest adjustments could make a world of difference.

Our journey with the spoiler was one of constant evolution; from full-on LTW racing aesthetics to more understated styling and back again. This flexibility was the true beauty of our creation, keeping us engaged and dedicated throughout the rigorous development process.

What is an E36 M3 LTW?

In 1995, North America received a special gift: 126 production units of the E36 M3 Lightweight, also known as the "LTW." This limited-production, track-focused E36 was equipped with a range of features, including lightweight body panels, a stiffer suspension, upgraded brakes, and, notably, a distinctive style that served as functional aerodynamic enhancements.

Among its various enhancements, the exterior held the most distinctive features. Available exclusively in Alpinaweiss paint paired with an M-colored checkered flag, this car featured an adjustable front splitter and an optional high-rise spoiler. These elements not only contributed to its iconic appearance but also solidified its place in history as one of the most iconic-looking E36s to ever hit the market.

The LTW entered the states as a "spec" car; bare-bones, lightweight, and ready to hit the track straight out of the box. Alongside the track-focused vehicle came optional components separately packaged in the trunk. These included a front strut brace, chassis x-brace, deeper oil pan with a dual pick-up pump, and, last but not least, the GT rear spoiler (let's face it, it's an LTW spoiler). Interestingly, these components actually voided the warranty because they lacked DOT approval (maybe not the coolest aspect).

Overall, this package represented the epitome of coolness at the time, perhaps even among the coolest offerings directly from the manufacturer, ever.

How can Turner give you the LTW experience?

Over the years we have subconsciously engineered a full LTW package with our own spin on it to make your own LTW-esque E36. Among the upgrades, we have made an adjustable splitter kit packed with LTW styling(T#1871611), billet x-brace(T#4056343), street/track adjustable rear camber arms(T#304099), upgraded sway bars(T#359704), tubular race control arms(T#4524483), and many more suspension, engine, and exterior enhancements. The full suite of performance and aesthetic parts were not made in conjunction with one another; rather, it emerged from our enthusiast-driven desire to capture the track-focused essence of the LTW and apply it to our own E36s.

Keep your engine bay clean, your drive belts functioning properly and your engine safe from hazards on the road.

By now your factory belly pan is either falling off, broken into pieces or missing all together. Our new Turner Motorsport Aluminum skid plate for the E36 chassis is designed to replace the factory plastic splash shield. It is so common for the splash guard to be missing that we are convinced they never existed at all. Your new skid plate will feature frame mounting along with plastic riv-nuts and hardware to attach to the front bumper for an factory like fitment with extra utility.

Having a skid plate/splash guard has more purpose than you would believe. The skid plate is used to not only protect your underbody from rogue debris damaging the oil pan, but the other great benefit is protecting your drive belts and pulleys! When you open your hood and look down in front of your engine you see a series of drive belts and most likely you can see straight to the ground where there was originally a splash guard. When driving you are exposing your drive belts to the water, dirt and debris on the road which can lead to premature failure drive belts and accessories (Or even worse, the dreaded belt squeak.)

This item is either referred to as the Hood Cowl Cover or Windshield Cowl Cover. It is the black plastic cover at the base of the windshield. There is a rubber seal that runs along the top edge that helps direct water down and away from the firewall. But because the rubber is exposed to sunlight it becomes dry and cracks with age. And that can allow water down into the various compartments and cavities in the firewall where rust will form.

The Cowl Cover also fades which makes it stand out in an otherwise detailed engine bay. Replacing it will give your engine compartment a fresh and cared for appearance. The marginal cost of the part goes a long way in sprucing up the engine bay. To finish off the restoration, add the "push button" mounting screws, new windshield wiper caps (wipers have to be removed to replace the Cowl Cover), and new clamps and grommets.

This item is one piece that covers the whole top of the firewall. Replacement is easy and straightforward but the wipers must be removed from the linkage. Remember to mark their position before removing. It fits E36 Coupes or Convertibles.

This item fits the following BMWs:

Aero upgrades are undoubtedly one of the most visually striking enhancements you can make to your vehicle. A carbon fiber front lip, in particular, is a popular choice that instantly elevates the car's appearance, making it stand out from the crowd.

However, this bold aesthetic upgrade has its challenges, especially when navigating uneven roads or steep driveways that can potentially damage the expensive carbon fiber. Luckily, Acexxon offers a solution to safeguard your valuable lip from scratches and more serious damage, allowing you to fully enjoy the upgrade without worries.

The Acexxon kit comprises five 18-inch strips that securely attach to the underside of your lip using pre-installed 3M double-sided tape. Three of these strips feature a smooth end, seamlessly blending with the front lip's leading edge. The remaining two strips are designed with contour flex sections, ensuring a precise fit around the lip's curved contours. Compared to other kits, Acexxon's design minimizes trimming requirements, needing only the trimming of excess material at the lip's ends for a flawless finish.

Key Features:

Includes 5 strips Each strip measures 18" in length and 1.75" in width Thickness of 5.47mm Equipped with pre-installed 3M tape for easy installation
