Introducing MaxSil™ Pistons for BMWs with Tefcote™ engineered for all BMW engine applications. MaxSil™ Pistons are designed for optimized longevity, higher performance, and improved fuel economy. MaxSil™ Pistons are lighter and stronger than original pistons with 13 percent silicone content - allowing for tighter cylinder clearance (0.0015") than original pistons. The tighter clearance, reduced heat expansion, and reduced friction offer better performance and longevity than original pistons while protecting horsepower output for the life of the engine.

In addition, MaxSil™ Piston skirts are coated with an anti-friction Teflon composite coating, for additional friction and heat reduction. All MaxSil™ Pistons are pre-fitted with Sealed Power chrome-moly piston rings. MaxSil™ Pistons are a quality BMW piston replacement backed by a five year unlimited mileage warranty. Complete Engine Rebuild Kits for BMWs also available.
