We tried every E46 sway bar kit out there. Every one was too long or too short at one end, or both. So AAF teamed up with Ground Control to build the one we wanted.

• Hollow, tubular chromoly bars, zinc plated
• Anodized CNC brackets, greaseable urethane bushings
• Front bar: brackets slide and clamp for infinite stiffness adjustment
• Rear bar built to current Spec E46 rules, adjustable end links included
• Ground Control lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects

Fits non-M E46 only. Rear bar $399, ready to ship. Front ($499) and the front + rear set ($898) are on a long lead time. Ground Control is slammed right now, so call us for timing.

Plastic grille vs. a rock at 130 mph at the end of the front straight. The rock wins, and so does the repair bill for your radiator.

The AAF E46 front-end armor set:

🛡️ Alum Mesh Center Bumper Grill: $75. Expanded aluminum, the same mesh we run on every AAF E46 race car. Installs in minutes, with hardware for M3-style or ZHP/Mtech2 bumpers.

🔩 Upper Bumper Cover Mount Kit (non-M): $45. Replaces the bulky OEM upper mounts with a 3-point mount that keeps the cover secure.

This is worth horsepower. 🌡️⬇️🏎️⬆️

The factory M54 runs around 103°C (217°F) for emissions, and the failsafe doesn't open until 110°C (230°F). That's about when we park our race cars. The AAF Low Temp Thermostat Kit targets about 80°C for more power, less heat soak and a longer engine life.

You can get the full kit (housing, thermostat, plate, hardware and sealant) or a partial kit if you're keeping your housing. For race cars only.

Cone strike, curb or "friendly" contact, and now your E46 bumper is dragging. 😬 Watch how the AAF Under Bumper Support fixes it. 🎥

💪 One continuous bar bent to follow the bumper curve
💪 Extra mounting points keep the cover where it belongs
💪 Slotted fore/aft and vertical adjustment. It doubles as the sway bar spacer and works with Ground Control bars
💪 Only about 7 lbs, mounted low (about 10 lbs with the optional aluminum under tray)

M3-style bumper only.

Sedan racers, this one's for you. 🪶 Weight-reduction solution for your 4-door E46 race car. 🎥

The factory glass is replaced with race-grade, abrasion-resistant polycarbonate (real Lexan, not brittle acrylic). You can choose no duct, a single duct or dual ducts for cockpit airflow, and all mounting hardware is included. The weight comes off up high, where it matters most.

Cracked transmission crossmember? You're not the first.

At the trans mount points the OEM E46 piece is cast aluminum less than 1/8" thick. Add stiff mounts and hours of hard cornering and it cracks. AAF crossmembers are built from 1/4" heavy-duty aluminum plate, right here in Deer Park, and designed for endurance racing.

Watch: the most adjustable BMW shifter on the market. 🎥🏁

Throw ratio, shaft length (165–245mm), spring centering with preload, and Soft/Medium/Hard springs are all adjustable. It's built from years of running every brand of shifter in our own race cars. Mounting plates are available for E30 (race or street), E36 and E46, in 5- or 6-speed.

High-G corner + oil sloshing away from the pickup = a very expensive noise. 💥

An AAF oil pan baffle keeps oil at the pickup when you're braking hard, turning in and getting on the throttle:
🛢️ Directional trap doors close off the pickup during turning and acceleration
🛢️ An extra front tab keeps oil in under heavy braking
🛢️ Drain-back slots get oil back to the sump faster
🛢️ Works with your factory cast pan, which is stronger and less leak-prone than sheet-metal aftermarket pans

Track-proven and Made in the USA right here in Deer Park, WA. Baffles are available for the E46 M54, E30 M20, E36, N54, S65, Mini and more. They're a weld-in install, so ship us your pan (or your car) and we'll handle it.

Protect the engine. Get to the Front.
