BMW Drivetrain Parts for BMW 3 Series E36 (1992-1998)

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

Building your perfect BMW is more than just adding horsepower and stiff suspension. Your drivetrain needs attention in order to deliver power effectively. Most BMWs feature comfortable clutch discs, heavy flywheels, long shifter throws, and open differentials. The drivetrain transmits power to the wheels, but can also be a source of power loss when it is designed for comfort rather than performance. Everything on this page will help you improve your power delivery and driving experience by providing custom Limited Slip Differentials, Short Shift Conversions, Performance Clutch Discs, Lightweight Flywheels, and anything else your BMW needs to be the perfect driving experience.

When high torque loads and aggressive corner exits push your chassis to the limit, stock differential mounts quickly become the weak link. The ECS Tuning Rear Differential Front Mount Upgrade Kit is track-engineered to lock down your rear diff, control axle wrap, and ensure immediate power delivery to the pavement.

Built to withstand severe track abuse, this kit eliminates hardware failure by replacing the undersized factory M12 bolt with an ultra-high-tensile Grade 12.9 M14x1.5 bolt. Surrounding the upgraded hardware is a track-spec 95A durometer red polyurethane bushing and a rugged 6061-T6 aluminum sleeve finished in Type II black anodizing. Engineered for maximum drivetrain stiffness, this upgrade ensures your differential stays precisely aligned under the harshest motorsport conditions.

Note: Upgrading to M14x1.5 hardware requires drilling and tapping the original M12x1.5 differential mounting hole. See T#58563042 for a complete kit that includes the proper-sized drill and tap.
