BMW Maintenance & Tune-Up Parts for BMW 6 Series F06 (2013+)

Introducing our Turner Motorsport Crank Seal Guard – the essential shield for your BMW's engine integrity. Safeguarding the heart of your vehicle, this meticulously designed guard offers robust protection for the crank seal concealed behind the harmonic balancer.

Considered an indispensable maintenance component for your BMW, the Crank Seal Guard acts as a crucial defense against a potential and preventable catastrophe involving your accessory belt. Facing the reality of potential oil or coolant leaks in your engine, this guard becomes a reliable barrier, preventing these fluids from reaching the accessory belt. The consequence of a compromised belt includes walking, slipping, fraying, and rubber particles finding their way behind the harmonic balancer and into the crank seal – a scenario that can lead to severe engine failure.

Let's be honest, engine leaks are a common occurrence, and whether your engine is currently leaking or not, the Crank Seal Guard is a proactive measure against future threats. The wear and tear on the accessory belt due to oil and coolant exposure can result in slipping, tearing, or, worst-case scenario, belt snapping – posing a significant risk to your engine's well-being.

Prepare your car for the long haul and protect the vital components, It's not a matter of "if" but "when" your belt will become a problem, and our Crank Seal Guard is your proactive solution. Rigorously tested on N52/N54/N55 and S55 for 100% confirmed fitment, it stands as a reliable guardian for your engine's health. Invest in the protection your BMW deserves with the Turner Motorsport Crank Seal Guard.

The ZF 8-speed automatic transmission (8HP) has become the go-to choice for performance enthusiasts, delivering lightning-fast shifts, impressive torque handling, and ample tuning potential. However, the stock transmission pan falls short in critical areas. Its plastic construction, integrated non-replaceable filter, and limited fluid volume leave little margin for error in demanding conditions.

To address these limitations, we've engineered a premium solution: a cast aluminum transmission pan that boosts durability, cooling performance, and serviceability. Designed with enthusiasts in mind, this upgraded pan increases fluid capacity by 1 liter to reduce transmission temperatures and improve long-term reliability, even under aggressive driving or track conditions.

Built to outlast and outperform the OEM plastic pan, the aluminum construction resists damage from road debris and eliminates the risk of cracking. Our pan is hard-coat anodized in black for superior corrosion protection and a long-lasting finish that looks as good as it performs.

Our aluminum pan upgrade is engineered to work seamlessly with the OEM G8X 8HP transmission filter (24007855263), allowing for easy and cost-effective fluid service. Integrated magnets help to trap metal particulate, extending the life of your transmission by keeping contaminants out of the fluid.

Key Features:

Cast aluminum construction offers superior strength and resilience over the OE plastic pan

Increased fluid capacity (+1L) enhances thermal management and reduces the risk of overheating

Serviceable design uses the OEM G8X transmission filter for easy, affordable maintenance

Hard coat anodized finish provides exceptional corrosion resistance and longevity

Integrated magnets collect metallic debris, protecting transmission internals

Installation:

Vehicle plastic belly pans may vary. Because the Turner 8HP transmission pan is taller to allow for increased fluid capacity, some vehicles may require trimming of the plastic belly pan, or the belly pan may need to be installed over the transmission pan where it may make contact.

Featuring silver fine wire center electrode - Superior ignition ability increases engine power!

Although these come pre-gapped we highly recommend double checking the plug gap upon receiving them and adjusting to your vehicle's individual needs.
For the N55/S55, these plugs are 2 Steps Colder, while for the N54 they are 3 Steps Colder.

Note that BMW Spark plugs require a special 12 point 14mm thin walled socket. We have several options available in our catalog that will help you get your spark plugs changed. The BMW part number for the tool is 83300495560, but we recommend the Schwaben brand T#373727 that won't cost you an arm and a leg.

Brisk Silver Racing Spark Plugs are the best solution for high performance and racing engines. Silver Spark Plugs provide many unique and beneficial characteristics, Silver is taking spark plug technology to a whole new level, here are many reasons why our Brisk Silver Racing Spark Plugs are beneficial for your engines performance. Silver is the best conductor of any metal! It conducts 560% more electricity & 481% more heat than Platinum, and 276% more electricity & 177% more heat than Iridium.

Silver spark plug electrodes transfer electricity & heat better than any other spark plug material resulting in the most powerful spark! This is beneficial for a full complete combustion of the available fuel and air in the combustion chamber, combustion efficiency creates horsepower gains.

Key Benefits and Applications of Brisk Silver Racing Spark Plugs:

Silver is the best Electric and Heat Conductor - the best material for performance and racing spark plugs
Superior Ignition Ability Increases Engine Power Lower Required Supplied Ignition Voltage
Good Resistance to Fouling and Easier Starts
Race Engines and Engines with Hard to Ignite Fuels
Supercharged / Turbocharged / Nitrous engines
Excellent for Total Loss Ignition Systems

When it comes time to change your spark plugs, you may wonder about colder stepped spark plugs as many others have. Colder spark plugs work by pulling more heat out of the engine's cylinders (making them "colder") and dissipating it into the engine's head, which is then cooled by the cooling system. Depending on how you have your engine built, these could be a great addition! Colder plugs can help prevent engine knock and prevent the tip of the spark plug from melting or misfiring.

There are two rules that most people tend to go by when deciding on which spark plugs to buy:

The first rule of thumb is that with every 100 horsepower added, you should run spark plugs that are a step colder than your stock plugs. This is generally accepted across the motorsports community but unfortunately isn't always the most accurate measurement of when you will need colder plugs.
The second rule is to go a step colder any time you massively alter cylinder temperatures by adding forced induction to an NA engine, by increasing compression ratio, after altering timing in a major way, or by changing fuel types to something with a higher octane rating such as racing fuel.
Adding spark plugs that are a step colder outside of these conditions, with no real change to the engine, can actually hurt more than help by leading to spark plugs fouling quicker than normal and by making the car harder to start in cold weather conditions.
