The rear springs on the 2001-2006 E46 M3 models have a chronic broken spring problem. If it hasn't happened to you yet it will. Springs are nothing more than exposed steel and they rust easily. After a while a section of the spring actually breaks off.

A broken spring is very dangerous - the spring is no longer mounted correctly in the suspension and it cannot support the weight of the car, especially when cornering. The ride also suffers as the suspension is no longer able to absorb the bumps and impacts from the road. Aside from a visual inspection of the spring itself you might notice a clunking sound or banging noise coming from the front or rear. An inspection of the noise should also include other related items in the suspension: bushings, ball joints, links, mounts, etc. We also recommend replacing the rubber spring pads on the top and bottom of the spring because they lose their shape over time.

The factory BMW springs sell for $140+ each. We sold and replaced enough while working in New England that we were able to get a strong grasp of the issue and come up with our own springs that are an improvement over the factory springs in every way. These springs are made in Germany using high grade spring steel that is then shot-peened for longer life and powder-coated for protection. These are the same height as the stock replacement BMW springs which makes them a direct replacement.

Our experience with spherical front control arm?ball joints go back to those we designed and used in our IMSA E90 328i and E92 M3 racecars (GS class Champions in 2011).??We wanted to offer e30, e36, and e46 owners similar levels of handling precision and control for the track and street, but weren?t satisfied with the other options out there.? Instead of a Delrin? bushing or unsealed spherical bearing alone, we selected an oversized sealed greaseable spherical monoball to offer unparalleled durability and precision, but designed a Delrin? adapter sleeve to help isolate the added noise, vibration, and harshness that a full solid monoball bearing will have.?While race-ready,?our hybrid Delrin?/monoball control arm bearings are more at home on the street than other kits that are advertised as??race-only? bearings. We did extensive street, autocross, and track testing to ensure the spherical bearing used in this bushing design excelled in each setting.

The stock rubber bushings, even?those found in the M3,?allow significant fore/aft movement of the front wheels to help absorb road impacts, especially when being pushed hard. ?This soft flexible design maximizes daily driving comfort, but also allows considerable alignment change.? This unwanted deflection?stands between you and a crisp, confidence-inspiring driving experience. ?The advantage of a monoball bearing is that it will not deflect under load, eliminating all unwanted deflection while still allowing?complete freedom of movement?in the desired angles. What you get is superior steering precision with better handling from more consistent alignment?and direct braking feedback, with exceptional service life.? Thanks to the?Delrin? insert and double lip seals, there's none of the extra noise or reduced service life?often?found on?other?spherical bearings.

In short, if you're seeking front control arm bushings that offer precise, predictable handling, crisper braking feel, with a long service life free from noise - look no further. We have you covered.

Features:

Bearing housing

• Precision CNC?machined from 6061-T6 blue anodized aluminum with a pre-installed grease fitting and grease distribution channels making this a serviceable design
• Knurled for smooth press fit in a wide variance in ?lollipop? dimensions.?Want front control arm monoballs pre-installed in lollipop brackets??Click here.?

Bearing

• A high quality sealed bearing with Delrin? inserts. Delrin? was chosen due to durability under pressure, while still soft enough to create a perfect play-free fitment on the control arm.
• Replaceable for infinite service life - no need to replace the entire mount in the event a bearing happens to fail.

3 way adjustable 30mm front sway bar / swaybar for E46 M3. Includes bushings.

• Reduces body roll
• Improves steering turn-in and handling

Sway bars are typically sold as a front and rear set to balance the handling. But a front sway bar only can also have excellent benefits, especially on a street car. Going with a larger front bar will improve steering and handling even at low-moderate speeds. Steering turn-in is faster and gives the car a more direct and responsive feel. Cars with staggered wheel fitments (a narrower front wheel compared to the rear) will especially benefit from this and help the front tire 'bite' into the road.

We use an adjustable 30mm sway bar that has been fine-tuned for use on the E46 M3. Urethane bushings with a reinforced inner core that requires no lubrication are included. These bars are crafted from a special spring steel that is both stronger and more resilient than competitive sway bars. They have been shot peened and heat treated, and feature precision forged ends.

This carbon fiber strut brace uses a flat-oval design with a hinge-less mounting system that makes this one of the best strut braces on the market (especially at the price!). Cornering forces can put stress on the chassis, especially when used with stickier tires and stiffer suspensions.Strut braces help to reduce chassis flex by tying the two strut towers together. This design is stronger than most strut braces that use a hinge on the end that allows additonal flex. This design has fixed end mounts that the strut bar is bolted to. The slim oval tube is 100% carbon fiber for excellent strength and rigidty. The entire assembly is less than 5lbs and installs in minutes.

Fitment note: the end plates on this brace are closed. Some aftermarket front struts have an extra tall strut pin that will interfere with this brace.

Here at Turner we understand the importance of an upgrade that will get the results you need on the track and still be tolerable on the drive around town. When it comes to control arms on the track, making them as stiff as you can (usually using solid mounts) is the best way to increase your driving precision by eliminating the deflection of rubber. The next best thing to create a balance would be to stiffen up the control arm with polyurethane, giving you the option of a more stock like feel with 80a or closer to the solid feel with 95a durometers. These poly bushings will give your control arms a direct connection between your suspension and the body of the car eliminating the slop felt under take-off and braking so you feel more in control of your vehicle.

*Featuring a delrin sleeve to eliminate heat deformation and premature failure.

When we set out to build an exhaust for the BMW E46 323/328, we knew it needed to match how you drive and how you want your car to sound. We also know that while many drivers wish for an aggressive, head-turning exhaust note, they don’t always want the volume all the time. That’s why we engineered this lightweight Turner Motorsport performance exhaust system with a fully valved muffler, giving you the ability to switch between a refined, quiet tone and a loud, spirited sound at any moment.

Our new Turner Cat-Back Exhaust is the first valved rear section designed specifically for the E46 323/328. With the included remote controller, you can change your exhaust tone with a simple click. With the valve closed, the system delivers a smooth, deep, tasteful note for daily driving. Open the valve, and you unlock an aggressive, free-flowing exhaust tone that brings out the full character of the M52 engine, perfect for track days or anytime you want maximum sound and performance.

For maximum flow and durability, we built this system using dual 2.0" T304 stainless steel mid-pipes that bolt directly to your factory downpipes. Inside the mid-section, we integrated an X-pipe to balance exhaust pulses, reduce backpressure, increase performance, and smooth the exhaust note. The dual 2.0" mid-pipes merge into a 3.0" axle-back section and a full 3.0" valved muffler, finished with bold 3.0" integrated tips that perfectly fill the E46 rear bumper.

Modern performance cars use valved exhaust systems as standard equipment, but the E46 never truly benefited from that technology. Some early E46 models used a basic vacuum-controlled valve, but after nearly 20 years, most are no longer functional. By studying BMW’s original concept and improving it with modern engineering, we created a lightweight, high-performance valved exhaust that gives your BMW E46 323/328 modern sound control, better flow, and a dramatically enhanced driving experience.
