BMW Drivetrain Parts for BMW 3 Series E46 (1999-2005)

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 it comes to the torque found on axle nuts you're already looking at using a breaker bar or impact gun not to mention the corrosion collected over the years. The safest approach is using impact socket, since they are built with the strength needed to avoid breaking under pressure.

  •  Durable black oxide coating wipes clean easily and resists rust
  • Contains three 12-point sockets for a sure grip on the most common sized axle nuts, plus three hex drives for removing common hex-head plugs and fasteners
  • Conveniently packaged in a blow molded case, this set will please the most demanding professional technician or discriminating prosumer

Kit includes:

  • 30mm, 32mm, and 36mm - 12-point axle nut sockets - ½" drive

  • 14mm, 17mm, and 19mm hex head drive axle shoulder bolt sockets - ½" drive
