ECS for BMW 3 Series E36 (1992-1998)

A beautiful addition and durable upgrade for your engine

Tired of staring at that bright red plastic oil dipstick? Waiting for a way to add a nice touch to your engine bay without going over the top? ECS Tuning is proud to announce the billet aluminum oil dipstick! Designed to OE specifications with an easy-to-read fill line, offered in three different finishes. Available in black, polished, or clear anodized, we have an offering for every type of enthusiast. Not only does it look better, but also performs better. Because of the durability, it is easier to insert than the factory ribbon dipstick. So, no more fighting with your dipstick to re-install it.

Urethane mounts keep the differential from twisting under load. As torque is put through the driveline it causes anything to twist and move. The differential is mounted to the subframe and the twisting and deflection can be transferred to the rest of the chassis. With a stiffer mount the differential will not deflect as much. This improves seat-of-the-pants feeling to the driver, giving more feedback for smoother power delivery. In theory, there's also more torque being sent to the drive wheels since it's not being used up shifting the diff weight around.

These are tough 88A durometer urethane bushings with a anodized almunum center sleeve, engineered by ECS. This is a set of E36 diff bushings - 1 for the front and 2 for the rear cover. New high-grade hardware is included (the front bolt has a tendency to snap from all that torque twisting!).

Drastically improve the looks of your vehicle while improving your vehicle's handling characteristics and/or easily adjust your wheel fitment to allow for the proper clearance when installing parts such as new wheels, big brake kits, or lowering suspension components.Interference from components such as shocks, springs, or control arms are a common issue when installing wheel that are not a direct OE size replacement. By moving your wheels a few millimeters each, you can give yourself enough clearance for proper wheel fitment and give your car a wider stance in the process.

ECS Tuning wheel spacers are constructed of high quality 6061-T6 aircraft grade aluminum and are specifically designed by in-house engineers and cnc machined to exact standards, ensuring the best fitment possible. By carefully measuring the OEM wheel hubs and bore dimensions, these spacers mount with minimal clearance to prevent any vibration, retaining the stock-like vibration free operation. 

This kit includes wheel bolts that are lab tested to meet or exceed ISO 898 class 10.9 mechanical and physical properties to ensure perfect fastening of the wheel to the hub with no issues or potential to snap under aggressive driving conditions.

ECS Tuning is a performance and genuine parts provider that designs their ECS Tuning branded aftermarket automotive parts in-house to ensure the highest quality and affordability possible. Every part's design is subjected to a rigorous test fit and stress test period to guarantee proper fitment and continued reliability for years to come.

Unsure of what size spacer will work best for you? This professional kit includes 1mm, 2.5mm, 5mm, 10mm, and 15mm spacers with wheel studs and nuts for you play with. These are not the same spacers that we sell and they cannot be used to drive on. But with the studs installed the car can be lowered to the ground and rolled to check for clearances. These test fit spacers are drilled to fit the standard BMW 5x120 bolt pattern as well as 4-lug 4x100 (and VW/Audi bolt patterns too). You can stack spacers to achieve the perfect clearance. When you're ready call us to order the spacers you need (we make 3mm, 5mm, 7.5mm, 10mm, 12.5mm, 15mm, 17.5mm, 20mm, 25mm, and 30mm spacer thicknesses).

This kit is for purchase only. It's perfect for shops or racecars where changing wheels or brakes is common. We also have kits that are available for rent.

These spacers are not for driving on. They lack the hubcentric lip that BMW wheels are designed to work with. Driving on studs alone will lead to a failure.

Fine-tuning your coilover damping shouldn’t mean stripping out your rear seats or interior panels. On many applications, rear shock adjusters are hidden behind carpet, trim, or seatbacks, making quick adjustments a hassle.

The ECS Rear Damping Extension Kit solves that problem with a clean and functional solution. These flexible extensions relocate the adjustment knobs to an easily accessible point above the rear shock towers, letting you dial in your suspension from inside the cabin, no disassembly required.

Installation is straightforward: simply drill a small access hole in your interior trim and route the extension cables through. The adjustment knobs can be removed to allow the line to pass through smaller openings, minimizing cutting. For proper installation, be sure to fully loosen the set screw, insert the cable, then securely tighten it using the provided Allen key.

Kit Includes:

(2) Rear damping adjuster extension cables

Installation hardware and Allen key

A smart upgrade for track cars, daily drivers, or anyone who values easy access to suspension tuning, without compromising interior fit and finish.

Looking to eliminate your dual-mass flywheel? Overwhelmed with all the options, but hearing complaints about so many of them with rattling or chatter from them? Problem solved. Introducing the all-new Lightweight Performance Flywheel from ECS Tuning. Engineered in-house with the enthusiast daily driver in mind, this is the perfect option for those wanting a lightweight flywheel without the annoying chatter heard from so many other options on the market. Designed to accommodate all conditions: from Sunday drives through the country, to the abuse of the track. No matter your driving style or ability, this is the flywheel and clutch kit for you.

Key Features:

Eliminates factory dual-mass flywheel for:
Crisper shifts
Improved throttle response
Improved acceleration (We measured a .4s decrease in 0-60 times on an otherwise-stock E36 328i!)
Lower replacement cost
Hardened 4140 Chromoly Steel for excellent engagement feel and wear resistance; zinc plated for corrosion resistance
Designed for use with any E34 M5 pressure plate and clutch for OE-type clutch feel

Why is SFI testing and certification important?

The SFI Foundation, Inc. (SFI) is a non-profit organization established to issue and administer standards for the quality assurance of specialty performance and racing equipment. SFI certification indicates a flywheel has been certified using industry-standard SFI Spec 1.1 standards by an independent testing body to ensure quality of both design and materials for flywheels utilized in competitive motorsports.

Having successfully passed SFI certification, this flywheel has an individual SFI serial number found in a laser etching, and on an affixed sticker. This certification means the ECS-engineered flywheel is safe and reliable during the rigors of competitive racing; it's also safe and reliable for years and years of street use.

Changing the appearance of your BMW has never been easier thanks to ECS Tuning. This M3 replica bumper kit will do up your front bumper to give it a more aggressive appearance. Unlike the other replica bumpers, these are made to fit your car perfectly and will for years.

This kit includes the front bumper cover, mesh grille, smooth trim, and front lip. Each M3 replica part is of high quality and produced for longevity and durability.

ECS Exclusive Proudly Offered at Turner Motorsport!

Add-on diffuser to deliver a true motorsport look to your M3. Fastened seamlessly to the bottom of the rear bumper giving a platform to show off your exhaust and complete the rear end of the E36.

The E36 M3 is an amazing looking car right out of the box but a common BMW issue is the height of the front vs rear bumpers. As far back as the E30, the front bumper is much lower than the rear bumper and the E36 M3 faces the same issue. With this problem the front bumper is always super low to the ground and the rear bumper looks in-complete. The ECS add-on diffuser is a unique option for balancing out the rear bumper with the height of the front bumper for a full and complete look.

Give your M3 that wild style that stands out from the crowd, and obtain a nice balanced look. This is just the start of a new line of Street Flow Diffusers diffusers that are a must have extension of your awesome ride. The diffusers come powder coated in a sleek satin-black finish, are a blast to install and fit seamlessly against the rear bumper for a professional looking install every time. The Street Flow diffuser attaches below your factory rear diffuser and exhaust of your choosing to fill out the rear end for a nice full and aggressive styling profile.

Lets take a trip together down a new and unique path. Over the years ECS has designed factory replacement ABS and Carbon Fiber diffusers for all different models of BMW's. For the factory replacements ECS focus was to take the oem characteristics and add a twist and really bring out a more aggressive look with a direct replacement diffuser. For their new line of diffusers, us as car enthusiasts wanted to design a set of diffusers that really pushed the envelope and stepped outside of our comfort zone. Our new line of add-on diffusers is a result of our engineering team and fellow enthusiasts spending time study the M3 chassis, modeling different designs, testing prototypes and making changes to get a final product that we are extremely excited to offer. The E36 M3 Street Flow Diffuser is the first in our line of new diffusers. Stay tuned for the E92 M3 diffusers next!

Features:

Adds an aggressive aesthetic in addition to the subtle factory rear diffuser
Lightweight and durable 10ga aluminum in satin black powder coat to blend with the factory trim color
Installation is secure and simple with ample adjustability built in for perfect fitment
Design:

10 ga 5052 aluminum construction
Black satin powder coat for long term corrosion resistance
5 piece design to simplify installation
Slotted mounting locations to allow for mounting adjustment
Laser cut ECS logo pre powder coat for a smooth finish
Hidden hardware for better aesthetic

Elevate your vehicle's appearance with the ECS Tuning "Ti.22" Titanium Exhaust Tips!

Crafted for durability, they include chrome-plated nuts, a 304SS cap screw, and clamp for a secure fit.

Key Specifications:

• Inlet Size: 2.5"
• Overall Length: 6.0" (4.5" Tip + 1.25" Clamping Surface)
• Outlet Size: 4.0"
• Outlet Style: Single Wall, Slant Cut

Note: Modification might be necessary for proper fitment. This part offers UNIVERSAL fitment and may require measurement prior to ordering to ensure compatibility with your vehicle.

Brake pad wear sensors are a convenient part of the braking system, notifying the driver of when the material on the brake pads are getting low and need to be serviced. Unfortunately it is common in custom or upgraded braking systems that the pad wear sensor is non-existent or does not mate properly with the connector on your vehicle, leaving you with a brake pad wear warning every time you start your vehicle.

ECS Tuning has developed this direct-fit Brake Pad Wear Sensor Bypass to alleviate this issue. This sensor bypass will trick the vehicle's electronics into thinking that the brake pads have adequate pad material to keep the dashboard warning from appearing. No more unnecessary warnings when installing a big brake kit or your own custom setup. This bypass is a plug-and-play component that requires no modifications so you can revert back to your OEM setup if necessary.

Some vehicles may be equipped with two front brake pad wear sensors, or a front and rear sensor, please be sure to double check the required quantity for your vehicle before placing an order.

*During installation, make sure to clean the mated female connector on your vehicle of any dirt or debris to ensure that the Brake Pad Wear Sensor Bypass is engaged securely.
