About Victor Reinz

The Reinz story is an impressive one starting ninety years ago and still going strong even today and there are not many companies who can compete with that. It all started with gaskets for the airplane motor industry that were flat gaskets designed for fixed applications and were manufactured from oil-impregnated paper, asbestos board, rubber-asbestos sheets and asbestos-fiber sheets. From there Hugo Reinz, the company’s founder, began designing and producing gaskets for the automobile industry. But then came the abandonment of the solid-block motor design in automobiles so Hugo Reinz realized a more stable seal was needed and; of course, the rest is history because the company has been redesigning gaskets ever since to meet the ever changing needs of the automobile industry.

Another landmark year, 993, the Reinz company became a part of one of the world’s biggest independent manufacturers of components for vehicles, the DANA Corporation. As a result DANA became the biggest manufacturer of flat gaskets in the world with its two gasket segments, VICTOR in the United States and REINZ in Germany. Revolutionizing the industry is second nature to VICTOR REINZ and it is no surprise that in that same year they developed a multi-layer steel material (MLS) to replace soft gaskets. Fast forward to 1999 and MLS gaskets with partial coating were introduced. And the story goes forward today with VICTOR REINZ ever changing and designing gaskets to keep up with the ever changing automotive world.

The array of gaskets from VICTOR REINZ is impressive and includes gaskets for your exhaust, fuel pump engine, air cleaner or any other part requiring a gasket or seal and you can rest assured they are all made with that incomparable Victor Reinz quality.

BMW

These are some of the items you can find at LMPerformance for your BMW

If you own a BMW, the luxury German car, then we know you appreciate the finer things in life and want top quality performance out of your car and we want to help you do that with the prestigious array of performance parts available on our web site. Parts like those from the inimitable SPEC Clutch line with Clutch Kits from street kit Stage 1,2,2+, 3, and 3+ to Race Kits Stage 4 and 5 and the Mini Twin and in the SPEC Super Twin for the M6, M5 and M3. We know you don’t want a cookie cutter clutch but one that satisfies your driving needs and the stage selection of the SPEC clutch is determined primarily by use, rather it be for street use or more high performance use such as racing or autocross. and by materials used to manufacture the various clutches such as molded carbon KEVLAR, full faced Kevlar with steel backing, carbon semi-metallic on one side, carbon semi-metallic 6 puck sprung or not sprung, carbon semi-metallic with a double sprung hub, solid hub with 8 rivets or full-metallic disc- all decided by you, the driver. The pressure plate in your BMW is the driving force between your engine's power and the drive line and if you are doing intense driving you need a performance pressure plate like the one from SPEC for increased holding power. Another great product from SPEC, the billet flywheel exceeds the industry standard of .010 tolerances by a considerable amount with the .001 tolerance guaranteeing ideal balance and flat bedding and can be rebuilt and have a replaceable steel friction plate and they are a lightweight alternative to your factory flywheel.

Several estimable exhaust kit options are available for your BMW and one such brand is CORSA Performance, a renowned manufacturer of aftermarket performance exhausts. CORSA Performance features straight unrestricted flow mufflers and are available depending on application in 3 different sound levels to suit your taste. For example, CORSA'S BMW M3 exhaust system features a patented non-restrictive straight-through design resulting in the reduction of back pressure and freeing up much needed power all resulting in improved horsepower and torque. Since there is no drone because of CORSA’S own RSC Reflective Sound Cancellation technology, you never need to worry about the that annoyance just expect great sound.

Another very popular choice by BMW enthusiasts are the B&B (Billy Boat) exhausts which are made right here in the U.S. in Arizona. They feature 304 mandrel bent Stainless steel and come in several muffler styles such as the Bullets, PRT, and Fusion. B&B tunes each muffler to match its application for the best possible performance gain and sound quality combination. Billy Boat recently started to incorporate the PRT technology into all of their muffler systems. PRT Technology allows true straight through exhaust passage under aggressive driving, though a mellow sound is emitted at cruising speed thanks to the unique Purge Chamber. The use of two distinct packing materials and several S.C.C.’S inside the BILLY BOAT muffler enable them to create a harmonious sound that will have heads turning when you drive by.
