The M54 engine has well-documented issues caused by harmonics. The extreme vibrations cause the weak oil pump shaft to shear off or the oil pump nut to come loose and fall off, all of which results in an instant loss of oil pressure. Achilles Motorsports decided to develop a solution to fix all of these known issues. Achilles takes their oil pump shafts to the extreme, using only the toughest materials and heat treatment processes to ensure optimum strength. The core of this kit is a hardened Chromoly shaft that is centerless ground to ensure absolute trueness. The shaft is engineered with an exclusive square key lock system that not only prevents the gear from ever spinning on the shaft but also adds strength to the area to which the gear mounts. Achilles Motorsports then replaced the pesky oil pump nut with an extended length bolt that is EDM drilled for safety wire to properly secure it for all conditions. Don't wait for your oil pump to fail and leave you stuck with costly engine repairs! Key Features: Hardened Chromoly centerless ground shaft EDM Drilled Bolt with a piece of safety wire included Grade 8 extended length hardware to secure the gear to the shaft Left hand threaded to prevent it from unexpectedly coming loose Exclusive Square key lock shaft and drive gear 100% serviceable & rebuildable without the need for grinding NOTE: Professional installation required! The shaft requires being pressed into the oil pump's inner rotor.

The Achilles Motorsports Oil Pan Baffle was designed and manufactured to be used on racing, high-performance track, and street driven cars. Each baffle is precision laser cut from .090" heat-treated aluminum then hand-assembled and test fit to ensure accuracy and ease of installation. Achilles Motorsports' baffle design incorporates dual trap doors and a unique oil deflector that prevents oil from splashing out of the sump under hard braking. Together, these help minimize the sloshing of the oil inside the oil pan and keep oil accumulated around your pickup tube. The factory BMW oil pan doesn't do a very good job of keeping oil accumulated around the oil pick-up tube in high g-force situations. By keeping oil accumulated around the pickup tube you can eliminate the costly loss of oil pressure and potential damage to other vital engine parts commonly caused by high g-forces from hard acceleration and braking and high-speed cornering. Professional welding is required for installation! During installation, while the oil pan is removed, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND upgrading your factory oil pump with the Achilles Motorsport Upgraded Oil Pump Shaft Kit (T#1150772). After numerous instances of sheered-off oil pump shafts and oil pump nuts coming loose, resulting in an instant loss of oil pressure, Achilles decided to come up with a solution - Don't let it happen to you!

This pump features two important upgrades: This pump is engineered with VAC's famous Oil Pump Upgrade kit integrated in its design; this means a stronger gear drive mechanism for much lower likelihood of pump failures on the track. VAC has not only improved the physical reliability of the pump itself but also fit a custom gear with a larger sweep area to the pump mechanism, increasing volume by a welcome 22% An excellent upgrade for Road Race, Autocross, Time Attack, Drift, Hill Climb, Rally, Drag Race, Roll Race & forced induction applications. Lubrication issues are a common killer of BMW engines. The dual-pickup pump is much better than a standard single pickup, but this pump is a dramatic improvement over both.

This new generation oil is made with a quality synthetic base and includes a molecular friction modifier for reduced friction and wear. It also glows under UV light so leaks can be easily traced! This unique oil contains a fluorescent green chemical friction modifier to smooth out hard metal surfaces, reducing overall engine wear and heat due to friction. Tests have shown a reduction in friction coefficient of as much as 15%! MolyGen oil is also a great choice for modern turbocharged engines which produce much more heat. The kit contains: Seven Quarts of Liqui Moly MolyGen Engine Oil Oil Filter Kit Drain Plug with Crush Washer

Replacement oil filter kit for many 6 cylinder BMWs (see list below). Fits M50, S50, S52 (US) engines that have the aluminum cap on the oil filter housing. This filter is the equivalent to BMW part number 11421730389.

This part may also come up as a replacement for BMW part number 11427833769. We have updated our applications to list the Mahle OX187 as the OEM replacement for the BMW 769 number. The OX68D can be used too but the OX187 is better suited to the extended oil changes that BMW recommends for cars made after 1999.

This filter fits the following BMWs:

1991-1995 E34 5 Series - 525i (M50 24v engine)
1992-1995 E36 3 Series - 325i, 325is & 325ic (M50/M50TU engines)
1995-1995 E36 M3 3.0 liter (S50US)
1996-1999 E36 M3 3.2 liter (S52US)

This is the replacement OEM oil filter kit for the S54 engine, as used in the E46 M3, Z4 M Roadster and M Coupe, as well as the 2001-2002 MZ3 M Roadster/Coupe (with S54 engine). This is the complete oil filter kit - filter, large o-ring for filter housing cover, small o-ring for bolt seal, flat washer for bolt, and copper seal ring for the drain bolt. It's everything you would need to complete an oil change - minus the Castrol 10W60 oil of course, which we sell at a great price. This kit is manufactured by Mahle - the original supplier to BMW for the 11427833769 BMW filter (factory filters come with the Mahle part number OX 187 printed on the cap).

Why Mahle over Mann? In the past we have sold a few different oil filters for the E46 M3 and S54 engines. But Mahle is the true OEM supplier for this part number. It fits perfectly and is the exact replacement part at nearly the same price as the slightly different Mann filter (and less than the factory BMW filter). For more detail, click here.

This filter fits the following BMWs:
2001-2006 E46 M3
2001-2002 MZ3 - M Roadster & M Coupe (S54)
2006-2008 MZ4 - M Roadster & M Coupe
