BMW Engine Parts for BMW Z4 M Roadster S54 (2003-2008)

Stainless steel filtration is not a new technology but is quickly gaining popularity in the automotive segment. With the ability to filter down as small as a paper filter element with the ability to be washed and reused!

The K&P Engineering filter element is made from medical grade, type 304 stainless steel micronic filter cloth to provide unmatched protection against oil contamination and resultant engine damage. A one inch square of this material flows an incredible 1.9 gallons of oil per minute at only 1 PSI pump pressure. The adhesive used in the filter assembly process is good to 600 degrees Fahrenheit, far above normal engine operating temperatures. A super strength nickel-plated neodymium rare earth magnet is installed in the top of the element for magnetic pre-filtering of the oil. The sophisticated bypass is engineered for proper differential pressures and consistent operation, delivering a greater percentage of filtered oil while being very easy to clean. The twist lock design assures positive filter element placement and allows for easy disassembly, inspection, and cleaning. The quad-ring gasket doubles the seal between the filter and the engine. Finally, the filter housing is carved out of solid 6061T6 billet aluminum, which not only looks trick but aids in dissipating heat.

K&P Engineering manufactures stainless steel filters for a vast array of engines around the world. Staying at the forefront of design and testing allows this company to offer a top-tier product for your European vehicle.

Features:

• Consistent filtering across entire filter surface
• Superior ASTMF316 filtration performance
• 7 times the flow of comparable paper oil filters
• Magnetic Prefiltering
• Progressive rate bypass combined with high flow characteristics of the filter media avoids unfiltered oil bypassing the filter during cold startup and high rpm
• No more cutting apart messy paper filters for trapped debris inspection
• Proven in Motorsports, Military and Aerospace applications for years. Technology is FAA approved for use in aircraft. 

At regular oil changes, clean to K&P's specifications for continued used - a true lifetime filter.

Take the guesswork out of S54 ownership. This all-inclusive kit targets the two most notorious failure points on the BMW S54 engine: broken exhaust hub tabs and degraded internal seals.

Turner Motorsport S54 VANOS Exhaust Hub Upgrade

The factory S54 exhaust hub is a ticking time bomb. Excessive play between the drive tabs and the oil pump disk creates a rhythmic rattling that eventually shears the tabs off, risking catastrophic engine failure.

While other kits require deep-engine surgery, our Turner Motorsport Hub Upgrade offers a "work smarter" approach.

Precision Engineering: Developed using 3D scanning and CAD modeling for a perfect, interference-free fit.

Superior Materials: Machined from high-strength 4340 steel and hardened to OEM specifications.

No Re-Timing Required: This bolt-on fix eliminates the failure point without the need to disassemble the VANOS unit or disturb engine timing, saving hours of labor.

ECS Tuning VANOS Seal Kit

The original BMW seals are made of Buna-N rubber, which quickly hardens and loses its sealing properties when exposed to synthetic oil and high heat. Our ECS engineering team has corrected this flaw.

Viton™ Upgrade: We utilize high-performance Viton O-rings for the internal seals, seal plate, and solenoid.

Chemical Resistance: These seals are designed to remain pliable and effective for the life of the engine, restoring lost low-end torque and smoothness.

ECS Tuning Rattle Repair Kit

Eliminate the dreaded "marbles in a can" sound. This kit addresses the axial play in the VANOS helical gears.

Hardened Steel: Our rings and washers are precision-ground to resist the wear and deformation that lead to engine rattle.

Silent Operation: Restores the refined sound and feel of your S54 across the entire RPM range.

BMW E60 M5 Crank Case Test Cap

The BMW E60 M5 Crank Case Test Cap is designed to facilitate accurate testing of crankcase pressure across a range of vehicle models. This versatile test cap is compatible with early and late model vehicles equipped with steel, aluminum, or plastic valve covers. Featuring a multi-diameter fitting, it connects directly to IMIBs, handheld manometers, and smoke machines, eliminating the need for adapters and ensuring precise readings without leaks.

Benefits:

• Versatile Compatibility: Suitable for use with steel, aluminum, and plastic valve covers on early and late model vehicles.
• Direct Connection: Multi-diameter fitting allows direct connection to IMIBs, handheld manometers, and smoke machines.
• Leak Prevention: Eliminates the need for adapters, reducing the risk of leaks and inaccurate readings.
• Enhanced Accuracy: Provides reliable crankcase pressure testing for better diagnostic results.
