If you're the proud owner of an S54-equipped BMW, chances are you're passionate about enhancing your vehicle's performance and longevity. One crucial upgrade that can significantly improve your driving experience is Turner Motorsport's WPC Rod Bearing Replacement Kit, coupled with ARP Rod Bolts for increased durability.
Enhanced Durability: The WPC Performance Rod Bearing Replacement Kit is designed with superior materials and manufacturing processes. WPC treatment reinforces the surface of the bearings, making them highly resistant to wear, which is essential for high-revving engines like the S54. This durability ensures your engine will stand the test of time, even under strenuous driving conditions. Improved Performance: By reducing friction and wear, WPC-treated rod bearings allow for smoother and more efficient engine operation. This increases power and responsiveness, providing a more exhilarating driving experience. Whether tearing up the track or enjoying a spirited weekend drive, you'll notice a difference in your vehicle's performance. Precision Engineering: Crafted from premium quality materials, these bolts and bearings offer exceptional tensile strength and structural integrity. This guarantees that your connecting rods will stay securely in place, even during high-stress situations. Your engine's components will work in perfect harmony, minimizing the risk of catastrophic engine failure. Preventative Maintenance: The S54 is notorious for rod bearing failure, often necessitating complete short block replacement. Choosing to proactively replace your rod bearings with our WPC offering ensures smooth operation and eliminates potential engine failure. Included in the kit:

Our Performance CSL Air Filters start with a multi-layer synthetic dry cotton construction that contains millions of smaller fibers to provide superior filtration and performance over the OEM filter. Precisely manufactured for a secure fitment to ensure all the air entering your motor is properly filtered. With the CSL E46 only being offered in Europe, the OEM air filters are produced in much lower quantities making them harder to obtain and drive up the price. Turners solution is a price effective solution that offers premium filtration with increased flow, extended service interval and lifespan.
Having a clean air filter ensures your engine is running at its best efficiency! Proper air flow will help your engine breathe, get the best fuel economy and allow full power throughout the power band. Get the most out of your CSL intake with a new Synthetic High Flow Air Filter. These filters can be cleaned and reused for an extended service life.
Oiled versus Dry Filters:
Although both options will keep the air to your engine clean and improve airflow, there are a few differences to consider when choosing the best filter for you. Oiled filters allow better airflow than dry filters, however they require more maintenance. Oiled filters will likely get dirty faster, needing to be cleaned more regularly. When cleaning an oiled filter, it is necessary to oil them with filter oil afterwards.
Dry filters offer slightly lower airflow but are easier to maintain while still out performing the OE paper filter. Dry filters can be washed with warm soapy water. There is no oiling necessary afterwards.
Both dry and oiled filters flow better than stock and can be reused.
Product Features:
Direct Replacement for OEM filter
Increased air flow
Lower cost
Serviceable
Readily available
How to service an oiled air filter:
Take out your High Flow Filter
Gently tap your air filter on a smooth surface
Wash with warm soapy water a a soft bristled brush
Rinse with low pressure water
Let the filter air dry
Ready to reinstall for a fresh drive!

Replace the Achilles heel of your factory cooling system with a stout and reliable mechanical thermostat setup.
The factory E46 thermostat housing is a combined unit featuring a plastic housing and a built in thermostat that you cannot replace separately. These plastic all-in-one units are commonly know to crack or fail causing a headache, a trip on the tow truck and possible damage to your engine.
Taking cues from the reliable M50 thermostat setup we designed a an assembly that not only converts your plastic housing into a billet aluminum unit but also swaps out the integrated thermostat for a separate replaceable thermostat. The ability to swap out thermostats separately from the whole housing opens up doors to changing thermostats to different temperature ratings based on your application while also providing lower maintenance costs. No longer do you have to replace the whole housing but just the thermostat itself.
The billet housing is designed to be utilized with E46 M3 upper and lower radiator hoses and also features -16 ORB connections for custom radiator hoses. A major upgrade from the factory and aftermarket plastic units. Our thermostat housing kit can be used by the savvy daily driver or the track hero who wants to ensure the durability of their cooling system.
Key benefits:
Uses M50/S50 mechanical thermostat for increased reliability
Option to use aftermarket colder thermostats if desired
Thermostat can be replaced separately for lower maintenance cost
Barbed hose connections for use with E46 M3 hoses or built in -16 ORB connections for custom radiator hoses
Design:
Machined out of a single piece of billet 6061 aluminum, this thermostat housing will withstand higher prolonged temperatures and abuse for performance applications
Black anodized with engraved Turner logo on the front to match the Turner Motorsports Power Steering Reservoir
Viton gasket for superior sealing performance
For use with E46 M3 radiator hoses 11537830715 and 11537830716
Kit contents:
6061 Billet Aluminum Thermostat Housing
Mechanical Thermostat
Thermostat Housing Gasket
