BMW 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!

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.

Our catch can was also designed with the idea that the cans fill level can easily be checked with a top mounted dipstick and an optional use bottom drain hole. The drain system comes complete with a valve and hose to be mounted at a lower area of the vehicle so when you're doing an oil change you can drain the catch can.

Features:

• 6061-T6 billet machined body, anodized black for lasting protection and appearance
• Strategically positioned 4 chamber baffle system maximizes oil / air separation 
• Knurled and black anodized oil dipstick makes inspecting oil volume of reservoir clean and simple
• Sealed with a pre-installed viton O-Ring
• Includes 2.5mm allen key to remove baffle plates for cleaning
• 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
• Closed / recirculated design reduces oil ingestion and promotes cleaner emissions and odor-less operation
• Optional use drain hole - drain kit included!
• Universal mounting kit

A combination of billet fittings and AN lines for an upgraded and serviceable crankcase vent hose. Attaches between the oil separator and the CSL air box.

The factory rubber/plastic hoses become brittle and crack over time. Brittle and cracked hoses can cause multiple vacuum leaks that are impossible to repair without hose replacement. Vacuum leaks can cause many problems including rough running, missing, stalling at idle, and even a no-start condition. The factory hoses offered through BMW are plastic and will yield the same results of becoming brittle and damaged over time.

We have created a full motorsport style solution with our CSL Crankcase made from machined 6061 billet aluminum with AN style fittings and nylon fiber braided lines. This is a fully serviceable replacement that will outlast every one of the OEM replacements. Our AN crankcase line can be used to replace the factory brittle hose to ensure your S54 is free from vacuum leaks and performing properly.

After the introduction of the M52TU/M54 engines, BMW observed an uptick in CCV-related issues, especially in cold regions. Vehicles operating in extremely low temperatures often encountered a blockage in the CCV dipstick hose, leading to elevated crankcase pressure and visible blue smoke from the exhaust. To address this issue, BMW introduced cold climate-specific hoses with foam insulation, preventing condensation and facilitating quicker oil warm-up. This kit incorporates top-notch reproduction cold climate hoses to ensure optimal CCV performance across all weather conditions.

The crankcase ventilation valve, known as the oil separator, PCV, CCV, or crankcase pressure regulator valve, plays a vital role in redirecting oil from your vehicle's intake system back into the engine oil pan. This system comprises numerous plastic and rubber hoses, prone to damage due to prolonged exposure to chemicals and heat.

Designed to tackle or prevent impending CCV system failures, this kit includes four foam-insulated hoses made from durable plastic capable of withstanding heat fluctuations and chemical exposure. Additionally, a new ventilation valve is included for a comprehensive and long-lasting repair solution.

Signs indicating the need for crankcase ventilation system replacement include:

Whistling sounds from the intake manifold, caused by crankcase pressure venting through holes in the CCV hoses. Blue smoke emitting from the tailpipe, indicating oil consumption. Excessive oil usage. Milky or yellowish buildup under the oil cap, suggesting condensation due to ventilation valve malfunction. If you're experiencing misfires, lean fuel codes, decreased fuel efficiency, or noticeable oil consumption, it's advisable to overhaul your crankcase ventilation system. Opt for this reliable system from Febi-Bilstein for a repair that meets factory standards and ensures consistent performance.
