BMW Engine Parts for BMW X Series E70 (2007-2013)

High performance ignition kit for your N54/N55 featuring colder stepped spark plugs, Turner high performance ignition coils and grease to make sure you have no issues at your next maintenance interval! Included plugs are one Step colder for N55, Two step colder for N54.

Our BMW ignition coils are designed with performance and efficiency in mind. An engine needs 3 main components to run (Air, Fuel, Spark.) Turner ignition coils are modified to increase energy output; more energy output results in a faster, more efficient and consistent burn to make sure your fuel is being utilized to its maximum potential. Our signature Turner ignition coils feature a blue housing that give your engine the performance and aesthetic your looking for.

Ignition coils should be changed every 40,000 - 60,000 miles and are an important maintenance item due to the essential role they play in your engines health, performance and efficiency. Choose Turner Ignition Coils to keep your engine running strong and healthy.

Features and Benefits:

Increased performance
New spark plugs and grease
Direct fitment
Signature Turner Blue ignition coils

If you own an M57-equipped BMW, you already know this twin-turbo diesel powerplant is an absolute torque monster. What you might also know is that all that low-end grunt and high-compression diesel vibration wreaks absolute havoc on your accessory drive system.

From the factory, both the E90 335d and E70 X5 35d utilize a rigid alternator pulley. With each cylinder's fire, the crankshaft experiences a violent micro-acceleration. Because the alternator has a heavy internal rotor spinning at high speeds, it wants to keep spinning at a constant rate. When the engine suddenly slows down (even minutely between firing cycles), the alternator fights the belt. This constant tug-of-war results in extreme stress on your engine's belt-driven components. At best, it’s an annoying, unrefined chirp at idle; at worst, it’s a ticking time bomb for your expensive harmonic balancer.

To solve this issue, many enthusiasts choose to run a clutched alternator pulley (also called an overrunning alternator pulley). A clutched pulley allows the alternator to "freewheel" or coast when the engine slows down, completely isolating its rotational inertia from the belt drive to prevent component wear. While the N52's clutched pulley (12317560483) is a straight bolt-on, the offset is incorrect for the E70 35d's accessory drive. Thankfully, our engineers designed this zinc-coated spacer to provide the precise amount of spacing needed to perfectly align the new pulley with existing belt drive components.

If you're experiencing hard starting, flaky charging, or other electrical issues, your engine ground strap may be the culprit. On E70/E71 BMWs, the engine ground strap is a thin, non-insulated cable that spans from the left engine mount arm to the frame horn. Despite the seemingly simple nature of this part, on older cars, it is known to cause massive headaches. Due to its non-insulated design, years of exposure to water, dirt, and road salt will cause the wire to corrode, ultimately leading to complete failure. A break in this cable will cause an open circuit, resulting in issues with the vehicle's electrical system and potentially leading to a no-start condition.

To solve this issue, ECS has engineered an exact-fit, upgraded ground strap for your BMW X5/X6! Unlike its OEM counterpart, this design features insulated, large-gauge copper wire for dependable conductivity and long-lasting durability. Additionally, factory-style lugs are zinc-coated, crimped, and soldered, ensuring protection against corrosion and oxidation.

Whether you're replacing a visibly corroded strap or proactively preventing failure, this solution from ECS is sure to provide lasting performance and protection.
