I forgot to meantion one thing. I came to a realization that BMW designs such as S54 are not by mistake. The angle the block should be tilted due to piston thrust and windage losses etc... BMW knew for years the design is better tilted. the way this engine must drain in head by the cams, the air pockets, chain plash(bubbles).don't stay inside the head after shut off from heat soak and bubbling in head etc after a hard pull. You might consider a bit of an angle on the block. It was never designed 180 degreed. No one can tell me its for packaging reasons why they did this,. Please dont try to defend this. No it wont hit the hood lol. anyway. i know tig welding a custom oil pan and shit is tricky but i bet the engine design would function better tilted. If you want to argue it, call the BMW team that designed this. not me. just beause it looks NEAT this way ( straight up position) does not flatter me. otherwise pretty cool. nice ride. ( sorry for coming off negative.
Why wouldn't packaging come into play? In the E46 it was smart to put the hot headers away from all the other components in the engine bay near the inner fender. The whole flow of the engine bay is designed such that the intake is as far as possible from the hot block and headers. It also drops the center of gravity by putting the cams and headers much lower, and mades room for the massive CSL carbon airbox in the engine bay later on, (not that the stock airbox is small either). Cars are designed holistically, tilting the engine has a lot of benefits beyond the internal mechanics.
That sounds magnificent. Gives you chills!!
Love how he just plays with it at the end, awesome motor.
Awesome!!!!!!Real monster machine!!!!!!!!!
Can you explain the intake manifold and what else is supporting the S54 to bring these numbers. Intake & headers is obvious but what else? Thanks

wow, how many rpm was that?
WoW Awesome!!!
Blue flames 😄 is that because of the fuel?
Knap stukje werk, JR-Motorsport, we gaan haar laten "brommen" in Dubai!!!!
Where can i get a tune for my m3 s54 from you guys
Pls. i whant to know which car is it, can somebody tell me?? thanks
Bmw e46 M3
Jaguar x type silhouette sounds much better
add a gtx42r and 30 psi.
The lag would be terrible for road racing. A GTX3576 or 82r on 10psi would be much better
it was just a kicker, that engine would scream with that. hahaha. yeah a GTX4094 is so mint for a setup like this.
and it would be useless
