Mechanical Changes
In addition to the increased displacement of the M54B30 engine, several mechanical
changes were incorporated into the engine for reduced emissions and increased fuel econ-
omy. These changes include:
• NEW PISTONS - The piston has a shorter skirt compared to the M52 TU and continues
with the graphite coating for friction and emission reducing measures. The piston rings have
been modified to reduce friction.
• CRANKSHAFT - The crankshaft for the 3 liter M54 is adopted from the S52B32 - M3
engine.
• CAMSHAFT - The camshaft for the 3 liter M54 is modified with more lift (9.7 mm) and
new valve springs to accommodate the increased lift.
• INTAKE MANIFOLD - The intake manifold is modified with shorter ram tubes (20mm
shorter on 3 liter. The diameter of the tubes is increased slightly.
• INJECTION VALVES - The diameter of the injection pintle has increased slightly for the
increased displacement of the 3 liter engine.
