If you’re cruising through online forums on car upgrades, the topic of poly bushings will invariably show up. Poly bushings are something that many people feel very strongly about, but why?

Before getting started I wanted to say I feel bad about calling the BMW N63 ‘hot garbage’. The N63 Twin Turbo 4.4l V8 is a wonder of modern technology, achieving things that no other engine maker was willing to attempt. The manufacturing processes that went into crafting it are exquisite. That says a lot for […]
Having a boost leak is never good. A minor leak can make your vehicle run rough, misfire, feel down on power, and run rich because the ECU is expecting air that it isn’t getting. Major boost leaks will cause flashing check engine lights (massive misfires) and engine stalls. Whether or not you have a minor […]

Some of these have been burning a hole in our computer folders (after burning holes in engine blocks and pistons), but it’s been so busy around here lately that it isn’t until now that we finally get around to the final leg of the epic Competition of Bad 2017, a Facebook contest we put on […]
A common point of contention with any E36 ownership is the balance between performance and heat. By nature, this compact, lightweight, powerful, RWD car is pretty much designed to be driven hard. With an extremely well balanced chassis, a 6cyl engine, and millions of aftermarket parts available, the E36 is quickly becoming the go-to car […]
For the third year in a row, the eEuroparts crew packed up and headed to what we can consider our home show.
