Ferodo DS2500 Compound Brake Pads This is a race developed pad with characteristics that make it perfect for track days. Its consistent coefficient of friction at any temperature, low or high, give very predictable braking and great pedal modulation. This new generation of friction material is very low in compressibility ensuring a firm pedal feel while still providing great life for both disc and pad. Combing with low dusting of wheels and low noise this product is the brake pad for the driver who demands the ultimate in track day braking performance.
Hawk High Performance Disc Brake Pads
Korman High Performance Brake Pads Developed for use in our IMSA E30 M3's. Good enough to win both the drivers and the manufacturers IMSA Sport Class Endurance Championships. This pad material is a non-asbestos graphite/metallic formulation. Unlike some racing materials that work well only when hot, the broad coefficient of friction of these pads also enable them to work well under cool, light braking conditions. They are therefore ideal dual purpose pads for both street and club events.
Endurance Racing Brake Pads Developed by BMW Motorsport specifically for endurance racing. Tested and proven on our IMSA Endurance Series M3 CSL and 328's. Nothing else comes close.

Korman High Flow Intake Cone type K&N filter which replaces your stock air filter assembly. Fits all years. P/N 1371K30M3
Front Spoiler Cover Panels After installing our Evolution Air Box Kit, the black air intake grill is no longer functional. This grill and the similar tow hook cover produce turbulence and drag. We offer a pair of snap in flush panels to replace the grills for a smoother look and improved aerodynamics. Paint to match. Kit includes left and right panels, clips and retaining straps. P/N 51111961KIT
P/N 1372332005
Korman Heavy-Duty Air Accumulator Support The M3 air accumulator (plenum chamber) is supported by a rubber mount which is prone to failure. When this mount breaks, the weight of the accumulator and throttle bodies hangs on the intake manifold, causing a premature intake gasket leak. This is a stronger steel reinforced rubber mount. P/N 13711E30
Korman Big Bore Throttle Body Kit We bore the original stock throttle bodies and replace the 46mm throttle plates with 48mm plates. The manifold and air horns are then ported to increase air flow through the entire assembly. Some "tuners" offer larger throttle bodies, but they only machine the round throttle bore end without porting out the bore between the throttle plate and cylinder head. Our throttle bodies are enlarged all the way through for maximum flow. Modified intake gaskets included, sold on an exchange basis. P/N 1161048013, CORE P/N 116161CORE
BMW Motorsport Big Bore Throttle Body Kit Larger diameter intake manifold and a 48mm throttle butterfly give a 9% increase in throttle plate area.

P/N 1161048003 Special Intake Gasket for 48mm throttle bodies, above P/N 13541310865 |
Supersprint Performance Exhaust Dyno developed mild steel exhaust features DTM tips, stainless steel internal baffles and tail pipes. Steel components are aluminized for durability and the entire unit is finished in black powder coat. Deep, low tone but not too loud for street use. Two year warranty. P/N 1883783266 Supersprint 100% Stainless Steel Exhaust System P/N 1883043306
Korman Competition Exhaust Systems These systems are the direct results of more than 35 engine dyno tests comparing different pipe sizes, configurations, mufflers, power results, and dB sound level measurements. Each system produces max power for each application. All are custom fabricated on a special jig, tig welded and finished in high temp silver paint. Factory mounting points are utilized. IMSA Specification Competition Exhaust- Dual pipes transition into a single 3" oval pipe for best flow and maximum ground clearance, then into a tuned racing muffler with a single 3" outlet tip. As much power as straight pipes, but meets 108dB requirements. Bolts to stock exhaust manifold. P/N 1850287KM3R Tracksport M3 Exhaust- Similar to above but adds a second muffler in the front section to reduce noise levels below 105dB. P/N 1850287KM3 Note: The above systems are not street legal since the catalytic converter is omitted Clubsport M3 Exhaust- The most performance you can obtain from a street legal system. Similar to our full race system with 3" oval pipe and racing rear muffler. Also includes a high flow EPA certified catalytic converter. P/N 1850287KM3K
Ceramic Thermal Barrier Coating We tested several header designs in our early R & D of the E30 M3, but found none that produced a noticeable advantage over the stock exhaust manifold. For performance, corrosion protection and appearance, we do recommend applying ceramic thermal barrier coating to the stock manifold. The ceramic coating provides superior corrosion protection, stain resistance, increased gas velocity and combustion chamber stabilization. Even if scratched or chipped its unique self-sacrificial properties won't allow oxides to form under the coating. Unlike other coatings, both the inside and outside of the exhaust manifold is coated. Expect underhood temperatures to be reduced by 20 or 30%. P/N 182110014 |

Korman 50% and 75% Limited Slip Differential Conversions If you race, autocross, rally, do BMW driving schools, or otherwise tend to push your car to the limit, let us convert your 25% limited slip differential to 50% or 75% limited slip. Wheel spin is reduced or eliminated, improving track times significantly. Additionally, the reduction in internal slippage lowers lubricant temperatures, helping prolong bearing life. The conversion requires special machining at our facility, making it necessary for you to ship your differential to us for modification. Your salesperson can help you decide which percentage is right for you. 75% Limited Slip Conversion P/N 33126375 50% Limited Slip Conversion P/N 33126350 (price when done with gear change, rebuild or similar)
Korman Standard Differential Rebuild 2 year/24,000 mile warranty Differentials with normal wear don't usually require the replacement of the ring and pinion gears. Our standard rebuild includes complete disassembly, through cleaning, close inspection of all parts, replacement of all bearings, seals gaskets, crush sleeve and lock ring. Includes meticulous attention to correct gear lash, gear contact, precise pre-load of bearings and exact torque specifications. We expect our rebuilds to last well over 100,000 miles. Note: UPS can pick up and deliver your differential at your door!
Optional Gear Ratios
4.45 Gear Conversion M3 stock gearing is 4.10:1. We recommend changing to a 4.45:1 for improved acceleration. This 8.5% change results in 0-60 times around 6.9 seconds (other modifications notwithstanding), more flexibility for spirited driving, and of course faster lap times at autocrosses and drivers' schools. You get quicker acceleration in every gear at all RPM ranges. 3.46 Gear Conversion Korman's recommendation for best performance with our Close Ratio Gearbox.
M3 Finned Differential Cover Kit Bolt-on cover with deep cooling fins lowers differential temperatures and increases the service life of your diff. Compatible with Delrin solid diff mount. Kit is complete with special length bolts, gasket and drain plugs. P/N 33112228335
