BMW M54

Automotive Engines

The BMW M54 was a naturally aspirated straight-six petrol engine with double overhead camshafts, produced from 2000 to 2006 as the replacement for the M52. It was released in the E53 X5. Compared with the M52TU its block and head are almost identical, with an aluminium block and head, iron cylinder liners, variable valve timing on both camshafts, called double-VANOS, and a dual-length intake manifold. It added a fully electronic throttle with no mechanical backup and Siemens MS43 engine management, and its largest version rose from 2.8 to 3.0 litres through a longer 89.6 millimetre stroke. The M54 made the Wards 10 Best Engines list from 2001 to 2003 and was phased out as the N52 arrived from 2004. The S54 was its high-performance equivalent.
