This is a must-have for ALL BMWs, and simply installs in place of your existing drain plug. With every oil change you perform on your BMW, you'll be able to inspect for metal shavings and debris. Many times, if something is going wrong on your BMW's engine, the magnetic drain plug can give you an early warning. Our championship race team uses this info all the time (Ever find a piece of a valve spring in your oil? We have!) Be sure to get one now, and make the swap next oil change!

When we designed this catch we wanted to have the most function options available, the best separation method, and the easiest to service. The Turner engineered catch cans offer a pre-setup design based ion desired flow direction, however, this does not limit you to this flow. The inner baffle orientation can be easily adjusted to flow in both directions in case you decide to move this catch can to a different vehicle. A 4 chamber system baffle system inside the catch can was engineered to create multiple changes in the direction of airflow within the separator to cause oil droplets to fall out of suspension before exiting the catch can. Having a closed/recirculated design reduces oil ingestion and promotes cleaner emissions and odor-less operation.

Made in the USA NEW, updated design allows for more applications! The TMS Oil Cooler Fitting kit allows much more flexibility in the routing of oil cooler lines. Standard oil coolers utilize �hard lines� which can cause fitment issues for cars with superchargers, Accusumps, or other aftermarket performance parts. Our kit replaces the oil cooler hard lines with two TMS engineered -10 AN fittings, mounting bracket, and O-rings. Flexible braided hoses can then be run to the oil cooler which eliminates routing issues from supercharges, intakes, and other components. The brackets are CNC machined stainless steel and the -10 AN fittings are lightweight aluminum.

NEW REVISED Kit fits E36 Euro oil filter housing, E36 Euro oil cooler, E46 M3 stock oil filter housing, E46 M3 stock oil cooler , and works great with aftermarket oil coolers.

Modern day emissions regulations require the use of a closed crankcase ventilation (PCV) system to recirculate combustion blow-by gases from the crankcase back in to the intake to be burned.  Unfortunately, these blow by gases contain water vapor (which is a byproduct of combustion) and pick up oil mist from and the windage cloud and cam lubrication system as they travel through the crank case.  Due to less than 100% effective air/oil separation in the stock PCV system, some oil mist and water vapor gets carried back to the intake tract and over time cause oil deposits in the intake manifold, intake ports, and on the back of intake valves.  All will eventually lead to poor performance and reduced fuel economy, and the presence of this oil mist in the intake charge may even increase the risk of engine-damaging detonation. 

With forced induction, track use, and/or extended high RPM usage, these symptoms increase as the factory PCV system is overwhelmed, and a catch can becomes a must for your E46 M3. This kit is a direct fit making this an easy reversal if desired as well as maintaining a clean appearance by utilizing the open "smuggler's compartment" on the passenger side of the engine bay.

Through experimentation and data acquired from our E36 World Challenge Touring Cars, it was discovered that in long corners and under heavy braking that there was an oil starvation problem in the M50 and M52 engines. This system was developed to keep oil in the sump and eliminate the starvation problem. After several iterations, further testing and data acquisition in the Touring Cars showed that this system eliminates the problem of oil starvation. This is a less expensive alternative to replacing the stock oil pan with the factory BMW M3 Lightweight oil pan, while still achieving the similar results.

The M54 engine has well-documented issues caused by harmonics. The extreme vibrations cause the weak oil pump shaft to shear off or the oil pump nut to come loose and fall off, all of which results in an instant loss of oil pressure. Achilles Motorsports decided to develop a solution to fix all of these known issues. Achilles takes their oil pump shafts to the extreme, using only the toughest materials and heat treatment processes to ensure optimum strength. The core of this kit is a hardened Chromoly shaft that is centerless ground to ensure absolute trueness. The shaft is engineered with an exclusive square key lock system that not only prevents the gear from ever spinning on the shaft but also adds strength to the area to which the gear mounts. Achilles Motorsports then replaced the pesky oil pump nut with an extended length bolt that is EDM drilled for safety wire to properly secure it for all conditions. Don't wait for your oil pump to fail and leave you stuck with costly engine repairs! Key Features: Hardened Chromoly centerless ground shaft EDM Drilled Bolt with a piece of safety wire included Grade 8 extended length hardware to secure the gear to the shaft Left hand threaded to prevent it from unexpectedly coming loose Exclusive Square key lock shaft and drive gear 100% serviceable & rebuildable without the need for grinding NOTE: Professional installation required! The shaft requires being pressed into the oil pump's inner rotor.

SpecE46 Legal! The Achilles Motorsports Oil Pan Baffle was designed and manufactured to be used on racing, high-performance track, and street driven cars. Each baffle is precision laser cut from .090" heat-treated aluminum then hand-assembled and test fit to ensure accuracy and ease of installation. Achilles Motorsports' baffle design incorporates dual trap doors and a unique oil deflector that prevents oil from splashing out of the sump under hard braking. Together, these help minimize the sloshing of the oil inside the oil pan and keep oil accumulated around your pickup tube. The factory BMW oil pan doesn't do a very good job of keeping oil accumulated around the oil pick-up tube in high g-force situations. By keeping oil accumulated around the pickup tube you can eliminate the costly loss of oil pressure and potential damage to other vital engine parts commonly caused by high g-forces from hard acceleration and braking and high-speed cornering. Professional welding is required for installation! For use with BMW oil pan: 11131432703 During installation, while the oil pan is removed, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND upgrading your factory oil pump with the Achilles Motorsport Upgraded Oil Pump Shaft Kit (T#1150773). After numerous instances of sheered-off oil pump shafts and oil pump nuts coming loose, resulting in an instant loss of oil pressure, Achilles decided to come up with a solution - Don't let it happen to you!

Upgrade Your BMW with ECS Baffled Oil Catch Can

Modern emission regulations require a closed PCV/Breather system for cleaner operation. However, inefficient oil particle capture can lead to excessive oil vapor ingestion, causing carbon buildup, reduced performance, and fuel economy. ECS Tuning's updated ECS Baffled Oil Catch Can, now with an easy-to-empty 1/4" drain fitting, is engineered to collect toxic blow-by gases, minimize carbon deposits, and reduce oil contamination within engine oil. Recirculating oil vapor ensures emissions compliance without venting to the atmosphere.

  • Key Features:
  • Highly Efficient Oil Separator: Strategically positioned 4 chamber baffle system maximizes oil/air separation and minimizes oil droplets in the intake tract.
  • Integrated Dipstick: Knurled and black anodized oil dipstick simplifies oil volume inspection.

Stainless steel filtration is not a new technology but is quickly gaining popularity in the automotive segment. With the ability to filter down as small as a paper filter element with the ability to be washed and reused!

The K&P Engineering filter element is made from medical grade, type 304 stainless steel micronic filter cloth to provide unmatched protection against oil contamination and resultant engine damage. A one inch square of this material flows an incredible 1.9 gallons of oil per minute at only 1 PSI pump pressure. The adhesive used in the filter assembly process is good to 600 degrees Fahrenheit, far above normal engine operating temperatures. A super strength nickel-plated neodymium rare earth magnet is installed in the top of the element for magnetic pre-filtering of the oil. The sophisticated bypass is engineered for proper differential pressures and consistent operation, delivering a greater percentage of filtered oil while being very easy to clean. The twist lock design assures positive filter element placement and allows for easy disassembly, inspection, and cleaning. The quad-ring gasket doubles the seal between the filter and the engine. Finally, the filter housing is carved out of solid 6061T6 billet aluminum, which not only looks trick but aids in dissipating heat.

K&P Engineering manufactures stainless steel filters for a vast array of engines around the world. Staying at the forefront of design and testing allows this company to offer a top-tier product for your European vehicle.

Features:

  • Consistent filtering across entire filter surface
  • Superior ASTMF316 filtration performance
  • 7 times the flow of comparable paper oil filters
  • Magnetic Prefiltering
  • Progressive rate bypass combined with high flow characteristics of the filter media avoids unfiltered oil bypassing the filter during cold startup and high rpm
  • No more cutting apart messy paper filters for trapped debris inspection
  • Proven in Motorsports, Military and Aerospace applications for years. Technology is FAA approved for use in aircraft. 

At regular oil changes, clean to K&P's specifications for continued used - a true lifetime filter.

This product fits the following BMWs:

Since 2010, Advanced Auto Fabrication has been producing and developing both parts and full fledged race cars. Their knowledge base covers a wide range of vehicles both domestic and imported. In the specific case of BMW, the team at AAF has a particular affinity for building and designing components for BMW race cars. When you’re racing with an M54 and you want to control oil burn, installing an external catch tank is a great way to do it. The stock oil separator allows oil into the intake at sustained high RPM. This causes the intake runners, piping, and throttle body to be contaminated with oil and carbon build up. Excessive carbon build-up on valves, piston crowns, combustion chambers and spark plugs. This also increases the chance of detonation and power loss. Includes all hardware and parts to make installation easy!

In the specific case of BMW, the team at AAF has a particular affinity for building and designing components for BMW race cars. AAF's own M54 E46 Oil Pan Baffle. Under racing and track conditions, oil can move in the oil pan enough to cause extended moments of oil starvation. This can cause premature, and in some cases immediate, engine failure. This baffle keeps the oil at the pick up better than others on the market. This pan features a tight fit with an extra tab on the front to keep oil from exiting under braking. Six gated holes control oil slosh in the sump. A must have for all track cars. Features and Benefits Track-proven to prevent oil starvation Directional trap door baffling completely that closes off the oil pump pickup for maximum protection against oil starvation during turning or acceleration Baffle plate with drain-back slots help accelerate return of oil to the bottom of the sump while also preventing oil slosh and reducing oil consumption Reduces the risk of oil starvation when oil levels are low Works with the factory cast aluminum oil pan, which is considered a structural member of the engine block and is less prone to failure or leaking than aftermarket sheet metal pans Light-weight aluminum construction Made In the USA **Note: Requires welding to install.

VAC has not only improved the physical reliability of the pump itself but also fit a custom gear with a larger sweep area to the pump mechanism, increasing volume by a welcome 22% An excellent upgrade for Road Race, Autocross, Time Attack, Drift, Hill Climb, Rally, Drag Race, Roll Race & forced induction applications. Lubrication issues are a common killer of BMW engines. The dual-pickup pump is much better than a standard single pickup, but this pump is a dramatic improvement over both.

The S54 is an incredible feat of engineering. Smooth power delivery, individual throttle bodies, and an 8,000 rpm redline make for an unforgettable driving experience. As with any BMW, maintaining optimal oil temperatures is key to extending the life of your vehicle and ensuring that you're getting an unparalleled driving experience. As many of these vehicles see frequent track time, the team at Mishimoto decided to develop a performance oil cooler kit that would provide improved durability and deliver the power needed for track driving. The result: an extremely efficient core with a proven 30°F (16.7°C) drop in oil temperature. With an increase in core thickness of 110%, this oil cooler kit raises your oil capacity by 0.44 qt. The oil cooler end tanks, cast from a single piece of aluminum and TIG-welded to the core, have been designed for maximum reliability, giving you the confidence you need to push your E46 M3 to the limits.

Rally Road Productions, Inc. is a team supported by a group of people with great abilities in their area of expertise. From the "web guy" and driving instructor friends, to owners of various machine shops, they have surrounded ourselves with people that can be trusted to create and manufacture quality products. This is the key to ensuring everything that they sell will perform as it was intended. The goal is to increase customer satisfaction and make the customization or performance enhancement of your vehicle a more enjoyable venture.

This oil cooler system is race tested and proven to outflow the euro M3 oil filter housing. Additionally, this particular system uses a sealing mechanism to direct the oil flow through the cooler lines and then through the oil filter.  Other cooler caps do not provide this seal and therefore the external oil coolers and lines act as a "balloon".  The lines and cooler are pressurized, but oil does not flow through them.  Flowing oil means it is being cooled and not just acting as an external reservoir.

Flow testing reveals that the oil cooler cap will outflow the Euro M3 Oil Filter Housing by more than 80% at the same, pressure, RPM, and oil temperature. In the upper RPM range, there is nearly a 100% improvement in flow from the RallyRoad oil cooler cap when compared to the Euro M3 oil filter housing.  This is a massive improvement over OE and is a worthwhile upgrade, especially in engines that see severe duty.

Features:

  • -8AN o-ring ports to provide a leak free fitting without the use of Teflon tape or sealant used by other oil cooler caps.
  • Viton o-rings are used throughout to maintain function and sealing in a high-temperature oil environment.
  • Use of the stock filter cap bolt to reduce cost and simplify installation.
  • An internal sealing mechanism to direct oil flow through the oil cooler and through the filter.
  • 1/8" NPT side port for external oil pressure gauge.

Kit Includes:

  • Oil filter cap with fittings
  • Oil filter sealing ring
  • BMW MANN Oil Filter and gasket

Modern day emissions regulations require the use of a closed crankcase ventilation (PCV) system to recirculate combustion blow-by gases from the crankcase back in to the intake to be burned.  Unfortunately, these blow by gases contain water vapor (which is a byproduct of combustion) and pick up oil mist from and the windage cloud and cam lubrication system as they travel through the crank case.  Due to less than 100% effective air/oil separation in the stock PCV system, some oil mist and water vapor gets carried back to the intake tract and over time cause oil deposits in the intake manifold, intake ports, and on the back of intake valves.  All will eventually lead to poor performance and reduced fuel economy, and the presence of this oil mist in the intake charge may even increase the risk of engine-damaging detonation. 

With forced induction, track use, and/or extended high RPM usage, these symptoms increase as the factory PCV system is overwhelmed, and a catch can becomes a must for your E46 M3. This kit is a direct fit making this an easy reversal if desired as well as maintaining a clean appearance by utilizing the open "smuggler's compartment" on the passenger side of the engine bay.

ECS engineers developed a catch can that utilizes a strategically designed 4 chamber baffle plate system engineered to create multiple changes in the direction of airflow to cause oil droplets to fall out of suspension, maximizing the efficiency of the PCV air/oil separation.  A dipstick is integrated into the cap so you can monitor the oil level, and the can is easily serviced.  At each oil change simply unscrew the canister and empty the trapped oil with your regular used oil.  The ECS Oil Catch Can is CNC machined from billet 6061-T6 aluminum and with a stealthy black anodized finish for lasting durability and appearance, and includes everything needed for an OEM-like fully reversible installation.  

The ECS Oil Catch Can is made from aluminum and with a stealthy black anodized finish. The location is key as heat will evaporate the oil and send too much vapor back into the engine (where cooler air will turn it back into fluid). The ECS OCC also has a factory-like appearance. Having a kit designed specifically for your E46 M3 makes for a clean looking setup that any skill level mechanic can install. 

Note: Since the crankcase vent system is considered part of the overall emissions system, installing this may be a violation of local, state, and federal laws. While exemptions are made for track/race and off-road use, check with your local state inspection facility on using this in street-driven vehicles.

*Click here for installation instructions*

ECS Oil Catch Can Features:
+ Increases air intake efficiency
+ Promotes engine longevity
+ 4 chamber design promotes excellent air/oil separation
+ Large In/Out ports (no tapered sizes that slow flow)
+ Anodized black lightweight aluminum
+ Made in USA

The M50/M52/S50/S52 engines are notorious for their well-documented problems stemming from harmonics. The vibration leads to the oil pump shaft becoming weak, causing it to either break or the oil pump nut to loosen and fall off, resulting in an immediate loss of oil pressure. Worry no more! 5150 has the solution! At the core of this kit is a hardened Chromoly shaft, meticulously centerless ground to guarantee absolute precision. This shaft is designed with an exclusive square key lock system, which not only prevents the gear from ever rotating on the shaft but also reinforces the mounting area, adding additional strength. Furthermore, we replaced the problematic oil pump nut with an extended-length bolt, which is EDM drilled to accommodate safety wire for a secure fit in all conditions. Don't wait until your oil pump fails, leaving you facing expensive engine repairs! Key Features: Centerless ground shaft made from hardened Chromoly. Bolt with EDM drilling, including safety wire. Grade 8 extended-length hardware for secure gear attachment. Left-hand threaded to prevent unexpected loosening. Double-D keyed shaft and drive gear. Fully serviceable and rebuildable without the need for grinding.

Fix oil leaks on your BMW's passenger side engine with Turner Motorsport's CPV O-ring replacement. The O-ring failure in the CPV typically leads to slow oil leaks, and now you can address this issue at a fraction of the cost by replacing the O-ring instead of the entire CPV. Unlike the OEM Buna rubber, the new Viton Fluoroelastomer used in this O-ring is resistant to higher temperatures, ensuring prolonged life without leaks.

  • Cost-effective solution for oil leaks on the passenger side of the engine
  • Replaces the CPV O-ring without replacing the entire CPV
  • Viton Fluoroelastomer resistant to higher temperatures
  • Prolonged life without leaks
  • Addresses O-ring failure due to heat cycling and oil exposure

Since 2010, Advanced Auto Fabrication has been producing and developing both parts and full fledged race cars. Their knowledge base covers a wide range of vehicles both domestic and imported. In the specific case of BMW, the team at AAF has a particular affinity for building and designing components for BMW race cars. This oil pan baffle by AAF keeps the oil at the pick up better than others on the market. Baffling the oil pan is extremely important. Under racing and track conditions, oil can move in the oil pan enough to cause extended moments of oil starvation. This can cause premature, and in some cases immediate, engine failure. The pan features a tight fit to keep oil from exiting under braking or cornering. A must have for all track cars.
