BMW Engine Parts

BMW S65 4.0L Vanos Covers 7075 provide a robust replacement for the factory plastic covers, which are known to fail over time. These high-performance Vanos covers snap on securely, offering a precise fit to eliminate vibration and prevent chafing of the engagement dogs.

• High-Strength Construction: Machined from premium 7075 aluminum for superior durability and strength.
• Corrosion Resistance: Anodized finish ensures long-lasting protection against corrosion.
• Perfect Fitment: Designed for an exact fit to avoid issues such as vibration and chafing.
• No Timing Tools Required: Easy installation with no need for engine timing tools.

If you're experiencing hard starting, flaky charging, or other electrical issues, your engine ground strap may be the culprit. On older BMWs, the engine ground strap is a thin, non-insulated cable that spans from the 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! 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.

Enthusiast Bundle: Turner Motorsport Crank Seal Guard with ECS Kevlar-Reinforced Belt

Protect your N5X/S55 from catastrophic failure with this must-have upgrade!

The Turner Motorsport Crank Seal Guard is meticulously designed to safeguard your engine’s crank seal from potential damage caused by a shredded serpentine belt. Oil or coolant leaks can lead to accessory belt slippage, fraying, and tearing, which can send belt debris behind the harmonic balancer and into the crank seal, risking serious engine damage.

Key Benefits:

Shields crank seal from accessory belt debris, preventing engine failure Custom-fit for N54/N55/S55 engines Zinc-coated fasteners for superior corrosion resistance Durable 6061 billet aluminum construction, with Turner blue anodized finish for added strength and style Cutting-Edge Design:

Designed using FARO laser scanning and Solidworks CAD for precision fitment Rigorous testing ensures reliable protection in all conditions Easily installs with 2 securing bolts torqued to 20Nm ECS Performance Kevlar-Reinforced Accessory Belt:

Reduced elongation for consistent performance over time Enhanced shock and impact resistance Superior oil and temperature resistance tested to JASO E 109-94 and SAE J2432 standards Ensure long-term engine health and peace of mind with the Turner Motorsport Crank Seal Guard and ECS Kevlar-Reinforced Accessory Belt combo. Prevent the "when, not if" risk of belt-related engine failure today!

The N54 suffers from a weak point in its crankshaft. It has been reported that when increasing the power to the engine, the crank hub can move or spin slightly under an extreme load. This is most apparent under high-rev downshifts or in the case of increased boost pressure which creates more stress on the engines rotating assembly. In order to keep this from happening, the crank bolt must be secured to the hub to keep it from backing off, but this can be a tricky solution since a simple dab of Loctite will not suffice. 

Here is an easy, and cost-effective way to secure the situation; The VTT N54 crank bolt capture. This lightweight and durable ring slips over the head of the crank bolt fully encapsulating it, and locks it to the crank hub and eliminating its ability to spin. The VTT-CBC is 100% Billet Aircraft Grade Aluminum, Anodized black to protect it from the elements, and give it a stealth look. What's more is that it weighs only 1.3 Oz's meaning you aren't adding excess mass to the crankshaft which will avoid any imbalance or vibration issues.

While this is not a full fix for all crank hub spinning issues, the engineers at Vargas have found most issues have stemmed from the bolt itself backing out, and this is a great way to keep that from happening. Extremely lightweight at only 1.3 Oz's it adds virtually no weight to the crank which is important for balance and vibration.

Kit Includes:

• 1x Aluminum Crank Bolt Capture
• 8x Fasteners Gr. 12.9

This part fits the following BMWs:
