BMW Internal Engine Parts for BMW 3 Series E46 (1999-2005)

Upgrade your engine build with Turner's WPC-treated Race Series Bearings, engineered for serious performance enthusiasts. Starting with ACL’s high-performance bearing shells, these Race Series bearings are built to withstand extreme RPMs and stress. Utilizing a "Duraglide" tri-metal construction and a high-strength overlay plate, these bearings offer superior oiling and heat resistance for high-RPM operation.

Our WPC-treated bearings take ACL’s already impressive design and enhance it even further. The WPC treatment process strengthens and smooths the bearing surface by firing high-speed, ultra-fine particles at the bearing shells, reducing friction and improving durability. This advanced surface treatment ensures smoother operation and improved heat dissipation, which are critical for any high-performance engine.

Key Features:

Duraglide Tri-Metal Construction: ACL's Race Series bearings feature a high-strength overlay for enhanced performance. Optimized Oiling: Designed to promote better oil flow during high-RPM conditions. Precise Fitment: Manufactured with OEM-level precision using micron tolerance machining. WPC-Treated for Strength: Surface treatment adds strength and reduces friction for improved engine performance. No Flash Plating: Allows for better heat transfer and bearing retention. Thermal Discharge Process: Smoother, stronger components through WPC’s unique thermal discharge technology. Enhanced Heat and Friction Resistance: Built to combat the biggest enemies of high-performance engines. Don’t settle for standard bearings—choose Turner Motorsport WPC-treated Race Series Bearings for the ultimate engine performance upgrade. Perfect for your next engine rebuild or rod bearing service!

Unlock the full potential of your S54’s valvetrain with our High Performance Cam Followers/Rocker Arms, built for precision, durability, and reliability in high-revving performance engines.

Crafted from forged chromoly steel and finished with a diamond-like carbon coating, these cam followers are engineered to deliver exceptional strength, reduced friction, and outstanding wear resistance, ideal for demanding street or track use. Each unit is precision-ground for consistent clearances and smooth, stable valvetrain motion at all RPMs. Despite heavy-duty construction, our design retains the same weight as the factory rocker arm, preserving OE valvetrain geometry and balance while offering superior longevity and performance.

Rocker arms wear in conjunction with the camshafts, meaning the two must be replaced simultaneously. Aftermarket and performance camshaft options (Schrick, CAT-Cams, etc.) are typically ground from softer blanks and, as a result, cannot be used with factory rocker arms. We tested our performance cam followers with aftermarket camshafts to validate compatibility, ensuring smooth, reliable, and safe operation under demanding conditions.

Features:

Forged chromoly construction for maximum strength and durability Diamond-like carbon-coated surface reduces friction, extends service life, and permits compatibility with aftermarket and performance camshaft options Precision-ground tolerances ensure consistent and quiet operation OEM weight match maintains valvetrain balance and reliability Superior wear resistance for performance and endurance applications NOTE: Rocker arms are wear items and must be replaced alongside a new set of camshafts, regardless of profile or manufacturer. Installing a new set of rocker arms onto a used set of camshafts is NOT recommended.

24 DLC-Coated Rocker Arms (required to complete both camshafts) Schwaben Magnetic Valve Shim Tool Wiseco 8.9mm Valve Adjustment Shim Set Schwaben Feeler Gauge Set Product Development: Our Turner Performance Rocker Arms are the result of advanced engineering, testing, and quality assurance by Turner’s Research & Development team. Every stage of development employs FARO laser scanning, SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling, and in-house rapid prototyping for precise fitment and design validation. Performance and durability are proven through Mustang AWD 500 SE dyno testing and Superflow SF-750 Flowbench analysis, ensuring each component meets Turner’s uncompromising standards for performance and quality.

BMW M42 M50 M52 M54 6mm Single Groove Valve Keeper is a precision-engineered component essential for securing valves in BMW engines. Turner Motorsport offers this high-quality valve keeper, designed to fit specific Supertech valves for enhanced performance and reliability.

• Precision Fit: Designed specifically for BMW M42, M50, M52, and M54 engines, ensuring a perfect fit with 6.0mm single groove valves.
• High-Quality Construction: Made from durable materials to withstand high-pressure conditions and provide long-lasting performance.
• Enhanced Valve Security: Two keepers are required per valve to securely hold the valve in place, preventing movement and ensuring consistent engine performance.
• Compatibility: Ideal for use with certain Supertech valves, providing a reliable solution for engine builds and upgrades.
• Easy Installation: Simple to install with standard tools, offering a hassle-free upgrade or replacement option.

Still looking for more power after bolt-ons? High performance camshafts from Schrick are the way to go. These cams are a direct replacement for the stock cams and give a solid 15+ horsepower boost at the top end and great midrange torque increases too! More gains can be expected with intake and header upgrades and custom software tuning. A slightly lumpy idle is expected at cold start but will be smooth once at operating temperature. This set is just a great all-around cam upgrade for the S54!

These Schrick cams were initially developed for the M3 CSL but they also work great on the US and other non-CSL S54 engines as well. With more duration they are a great match to high flow headers, no cats, or CSL intake manifold upgrades. These are the new "cast" cams from Schrick which require new rocker arms (Schrick recommended or BMW part #11337833259). Professional installation is a must due to the intricacies with the double VAN0S.
