Generally it is related to engines till 2003, newer motors havenвЂ™t such problems. After 100,000 miles of mileage (150,000 km) you need to change connecting rod bearings, timing chain and timing chain tensioner on your M3. But as these cars bought for active driving, for today practically all of them are in awful state. The lifespan of S54 is quite high, it can go without problems more than 100,000-150,000 miles of mileage (200,000+ km). Main reasons: air in the cooling system, a dirty radiator, a water pump, the thermostat and radiator cap. Periodically there is an overheat on S54. If the consumption is too large, then you need to buy new piston rings. But if at your M3 is high oil consumption, then a problem in valve stem seals.

Nevertheless, S54 continued to install on Z4M till 2008.Д¬ompare with BMW M54, on S54 there are no big problems with engine oil consumption. The S54 installed on M3 E46 till 2006 then there was new M3, with absolutely another V8 motor вЂ“ S65. It increase the power of 3.2-liter motor to 360 horsepower at 7,900 rpm. CSL differs from usual S54 by improved intake system, aggressive camshafts (duration 288/280, lift 11.6/11.6 mm), exhaust valves and the lightweight exhaust system. This car produced in 2003 in limited edition. The most powerful modification of S54 installed on the lightweight version E46 M3 CSL. Two additional catalytic converters cased difference in 10 horsepower between US and Euro versions. Its power decreased to 325 HP (Euro version) and to 315 horsepower (US version).Дifferences between S54 M3 and S54 Z3M consist in the changed intake manifold and air filter housing.

Differences between US E46 M3 and Euro version consist in two additional catalytic converters. All these changes helped to increase the power of the engine to 343 horsepower at 7,900 rpm and a torque 365 at 4,900 rpm.Д®46 M3 engine with power of 333 HP produced for North American. The electronic control unit of S54B32 вЂ“ Siemens MSS 54. The stock size of fuel injectors of S54 вЂ“ 247 cc/min. Individual throttle bodies still used on intake. Valve clearances are following (cold engine): inlet 0.18 вЂ“ 0.23 mm, exhaust 0.28 вЂ“ 0.33 mm. S54 still havenвЂ™t hydraulic lifters so every 30,000 miles of mileage (50,000 km) you have to adjust valves. There were following changes in cylinder head: improved continuously variable valve timing system Double-VANOS, used new cast iron hollow camshafts (duration 260/260, lift 12/12 mm) and decreased weight of the cylinder head. The pistons are cooled by oil spray nozzles. Also applied reinforced forged connecting rods (length 139 mm), new high compression pistons (CR=11.5), their compression height 32.3 mm. Cast-iron cylinder block of this engine has been improved: increased bore to 87 mm, forged crankshaft with a stroke of 91 mm and with 12 counterweights. New S54 inline-6 based on the European version BMW S50B32.

NEDC values listed have been calculated back to the NEDC measurement procedure where applicable. For ranges, the NEDC figures take into account differences in the selected wheel and tyre size, while the WLTP figures take into account the effects of any optional equipment.ДЄll figures are already calculated on the basis of the new WLTP test cycle.
