BMW Drivetrain Parts for BMW 1 Series E82 (2008-2013)

ECS Tuning's Polyurethane Transmission Mounts are designed to address the vital role of transmission mounts in your vehicle's suspension. The factory mounts are notorious for failures that can result in over-revving, mis-shifts, and in extreme cases, potential chassis damage. Our polyurethane mounts provide a robust solution, engineered for both street and track applications, guaranteeing enhanced performance while eliminating concerns about torn mounts.

Polyurethane stands out with its exceptional toughness, durability, and impressive wear resistance compared to rubber. It also exhibits resistance to water, oil, and grease while retaining its original shape even when subjected to significant compression. By reducing deflection, polyurethane facilitates effective power transfer. While there may be a slight increase in NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness), the benefits far outweigh this minor compromise in ride comfort. With a polyurethane durometer of 70A, our street mounts are versatile, offering both daily driving comfort and track durability. For more track-oriented enthusiasts, we provide stiffer mounts with an 80A durometer rating.

For a hassle-free installation, we supply a comprehensive DIY guide. ECS Tuning ensures that you are fully supported from start to finish.

The ECS Tuning Center Support Bearing Brace is engineered to improve drivetrain performance and longevity. The factory center support bearing features internal an internal rubber bushing to reduce NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) transmission to the cabin. Unfortunately, this material choice falls short when it comes to performance applications. Under extreme load conditions, this bushing is prone to flexing, resulting in driveshaft misalignment. To address the shortcomings of the factory rubber center support carrier design, ECS engineers developed a set of precision-fit, split polyurethane bushings that secure tightly around the existing driveshaft bearing. Constructed from 90A durometer polyurethane, this material eliminates bushing deflection while maintaining minimal noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH). By eliminating deflection, this innovative solution not only improves durability but also ensures a significantly longer service life than the OEM center support bearing—making it an excellent upgrade for aging BMW chassis.

The polyurethane bushings are surrounded by a robust 6061-T6 billet aluminum bracket designed with strength and reliability in-mind. This bracket features a split design for hassle-free installation, eliminating the need to remove the driveshaft assembly entirely. To install the ECS Center Support Carrier, simply cut around your existing bearing, remove the factory brace, and clamp on your new bushings and bracket. This user-friendly approach saves time and simplifies maintenance or upgrades. Two stainless steel socket head screws are used to fasten the two-piece bracket, offering corrosion resistance and secure clamping under high torque and stress. This combination of materials and design ensures dependable performance and long-lasting durability, even in demanding applications.

Turner Motorsport Dual Shear Selector Rod (DSSR)

Enhance your N54-equipped 135i or 335i’s driving feel with the Turner Motorsport DSSR. Designed to give your shifter a much more precise and solid connection, this DSSR replaces the OEM selector rod, eliminating the play and deflection that come from single-shear designs. Pair it with a Turner short-shift kit for the ultimate shifting upgrade.

Think of the DSSR as a major upgrade from the single-contact OEM rod, much like riding a bike with two hands instead of one: you have stronger, more precise control over each gear change. With its dual-contact setup, the DSSR “sandwiches” both sides of the shifter and transmission, creating a direct link that feels solid, eliminating the vague and sloppy feel of the factory setup.

Key Benefits:

Enhanced Precision: Significantly reduces deflection and play, giving you a more connected feel while shifting Compatible with Factory & Aftermarket Shifters: Perfect for custom setups as well as stock configurations Durable Build: Fabricated from high-quality 303 stainless steel, offering rust resistance and longevity Complete Hardware Included: Comes with zinc-plated hardware for a secure installation Specifications:

Material: 303 stainless steel construction Compatibility: Replacement for part #25117524722 (E8X/E9X N54 models) Installation Design: Two-piece assembly with captive pins, designed for simple alignment and adjustability Fitment: Specially engineered to fit the tight N54 carrier without interference Installation Tips:

Remove your factory selector rod and take note of its orientation. Attach the DSSR to both the transmission selector joint and lower shift lever. Shift to 3rd or 5th gear for maximum access to the supplied hardware, then secure tightly.

Turner Motorsport Polyurethane Shifter Arm Bushing

Want more responsive and accurate shifts without sacrificing comfort? The Turner Motorsport Polyurethane Shifter Arm Bushing is the perfect enhancement to reduce unwanted movement and play in the shift arm assembly. Factory rubber bushings absorb vibrations for smoothness but compromise direct feedback and often wear out, leading to sloppy, imprecise shifting.

Crafted from high-performance polyurethane with a corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel sleeve, this bushing maintains stability without stretching or wearing out like rubber. Experience the tactile feel of more precise shifts, with minimal NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) added to your drive. A must-have for any driver looking to take control of their BMW's performance.

Key Features:

Precision Control: Firmer than factory rubber for a crisp, responsive shifter feel Long-Lasting Materials: Made with durable 70a polyurethane and a 304 stainless steel mounting sleeve Easy Installation: Direct replacement—no modifications needed OEM Compatibility: Replaces BMW part numbers 25111222015 and 25111222652 Specifications:

Material: High-quality 70a polyurethane and 304 stainless steel Made in the USA: Proudly manufactured with quality materials Durability: Improved lifespan over factory rubber bushings, reducing slop and enhancing gear engagement
