I have the M52B28 in my E36 'Vert. Had it for more than 4 years now. Bought it at 280k kilometres in the clock, now it's a little over 340k. I also know the previous owner who had the car since '02. Our experience is what goes bad on these is anything but the engine. This car had several electrical issues (mostly due to it being very well-optioned), the M-packet suspension needs a lot of maintenance if you live in a country with bad roads like I do, and the interior trim is horrible, I had a completely new interior with all carpets made last year. Rust is also a huge enemy, it can appear anywhere, anytime, even if you don't use it much in the wet. But the engine is completely bulletproof. Most of them drink a bit of oil, it's usually the valve oil seal needing replacement which is a big job to do, but once it's done it's usually all good. It takes abuse like it was made to take it, if you only do it once it's warm (the oil, not the water!), it lasts forever. I never had any major issue with it other than replacing the valve oil seals and cleaning the injectors, even though it's a weekend car for me, I even have some mods to get a bit more power and body rigidity so I did take it on some track days and I do often take it on local winding roads to have fun - so yeah, it is abused, and it was abused by the previous owner just as much. Great engines, the cars around them are more problematic but preventive maintenance can make them overall reliable. Fun fact: I know an E39 in my area with over a million kilometres in it, and it still goes, even though it never had any really major repairs done other than the usual suspects.
I have my 330ci e46 for 20 years done nearly 500 thousand miles ,never missed a beat even tho i ragged the arse of it, these are one off the best engines ever made please dont tell people to buy ebay parts , water pump 27 quid ffs you destroy a good engine with crap that will have to be replaced within 18 months if you lucky , im still on orignal air mass , disa valve,head gasket,vanos , keep up good work 😉
Super information crucial to keep the money in our pockets and away from the dealers. These "look out for" tips will prevent shocks and keep us mobile, thank you doc.
My m54 in my z3 is still deadly never a problem at 80k, always let them warm properly and mostly stay on top of service,, I’ve already flushed all fluids just because of age not mileage power-steering, brakes, coolant
I currently own a 2002 bmw 525i A sport wagon premium package with 156,538 miles. Car runs strong, I’ve replaced o2 sensors,pcv, radiator expansion tank, control arms, cv axle, and All camshaft sensors. And many more things to go goal is to keep her running as long as possible.
very reliable if you do the vanos, ccv, rings (with m52 oil control rings), disa fix , sensors, all the vacum hoses , intake boots, coils, all cooling components
Being an English speaker since childhood I have real trouble catching up with how fast you speak sometimes. Content is excellent and much appreciated, but I'm sure your international audience would be grateful if you relaxed just a little bit and slowed down your voice pace some. I'm sure an increased like count would ensue. Just a kind suggestion. Other than that, I'm finding the info you provide on the M54 precious to say the least. I'm interested in this motor for an engine swap and I'm gathering as much info as I'm able to, just to make sure everything's sound and ready when the engine goes in. Keep up the good work 👏
My favorite BMW engines are the M30B34 and the M54 engines. The only two I’ve owned so far, but they’re both awesome and last forever. Oil leaks aren’t fun though. Recently switched to Mobil 1 5W40 after years of 5W30. Seems to have corrected/slowed my leaks substantially, it also reduced the ticking on the M54. I’m going to repair my DISA Valve, and send my ECU in for repair. Cold start stalls are getting annoying.
My 03 E39 530i has 178k miles on it. I've done the valve cover gasket twice and oil filter gasket (wasn't even leaking) but other than that it's been relatively maintenance free other than oil changes. Has oil pan gasket leak unfortunately.
If you buy a 30 £ termostat, you will be buying one every year. I swaped 2 non original ones because of the leaks in 2 years. Spend money on original for a peace of mind. No problems with 30£ water pump (4years now) though
My M54B22 guzzled oil like there was no tommorow. I tried to accept it, I'd never had a 6 cylinder before and it's a pretty highly tuned engine. When it got to guzzling over a litre of high quality synthetic in less than 500 miles I knew it was time to get rid. I've had cheap little cars that have never consumed a single drop of oil between services. Gearbox limp mode was also occuring frequently and it started rusting around the doors and sill. I've got a 19 year old Honda that has no visible rust at all. I love the E39 but it's just too heavy for its own good, it puts so much stress on expensive running gear and suspension components.
Timing chain ???? I never heard of any problems with them here in the Uk and neither the gearboxes you may suffer them problems where you are but please as I state to everyone on here these videos are made with the UK IN MIND ONLY!!!!
Yes Uk only we don’t suffer these same problems like a lot of other countries BMW’s here are very reliable and use high quality parts from day one please check all my videos and are every part removed on 155k was original bmw parts still on that mileages with no issues in the us and other countries they get given all reject parts from the manafacturer to fit hence your problems
Ive got the M54 engine in my 2003 z4 3.0i. Curious if youve ever encountered some gas in the oil? My car has only 83k miles. Is it leaky injectors? Checking fuel trims i noticed it not running rich
I have M54 & M52TU and love them both. Very easy to maintain, and easy to keep the check engine light off. My experience is that people tend to drive these cars in the ground, so if you buy one go ahead and do what the Doctor points out in the video. It's worth the piece of mind. Very good video!
Thanks for the video! Really helped, I’m viewing a e46 320 with the 2.2 m54 engine tomorrow fingers crossed it’s all okay! I will look for these problems :)

If I’m honest with you mate I know Essex we’ll and all garages are rip offs and don’t do the jobs right the same as in London none of them are bmw trained most have come from Vauxhall’s and ford dealers and willing to take on any job as you know they don’t refuse money and all garages are the same mate this is why it’s key when owning these cars to make sure you do it yourself to get your return back if you sell it remember all these labour costs you never get back so it’s wasted money mate your better off to set fire to your money
Haha definitely got a sense of that money grabbing when phoning for quotes before! Found a good guy who services my current Clio but he probably won’t know all the ins and outs of the m54... I’ll probably just replace all those key parts that you mentioned that go wrong myself since £300 isn’t bad price to have all those new! Hopefully won’t balls it up lol
Mate learning from your mistakes only make you better the next time the more you do it the quicker you get mate trust me the waterpump and thermostats garages charge easy £180 labour alone say it takes 2hrs it actually can be done in half there time For the vanos seals they say a whole day you can do it in 4hrs aswell with valve cover Do not ever listen to there mental times and prices it’s all crap to get more money off you remember they charge for there breaks on top of the price so they don’t lose only you do that’s why they can go sally off on another car

I recently purchase my 2nd bmw so far I love it has some issues tht are getting addressed but some time it feels like it losses power I’d like the bmw doctor to point me in the right direction here send I don’t know much about theses has 236 thousand miles on it and she still runs smooth when cruising
No never forgot it don’t leak in the Uk never in my time of owning 10 m54 engines I don’t do these videos for US people as I state about 50,000 times a day this is all for Uk and to help my own ONLY
BMW Doctor yeah I bought a 04 m54 guy sold it because of the insane looking oil leak. Just the oil filter housing gasket needed replaced! Thing just keeps running no check engine lights. I also did put new radiator, hoses, vanos line, lower ccv hose, control arms, coolant reservoir.
My input. As I have owned an M54 before , 04 530i. E60, previous owner didn’t care for it well so this I understand , I sold my nightmare m54 and now have an n26 120,000+ miles running strong, anyway, if you get a well maintained m54 this engine is good, a weak point is the piston rings in this engine are garbage, they will allow oil to leak through the rings. Also, the cooling system on this car is so weak especially that crappy expansion tank. This engine is also notorious for leaking oil from every possible gasket, especially oil pan gasket and rear main seal. Now this of course is both common and because the car I had was neglected. But having it for almost 4 years, this engine burns oil like crazy. Always keep a quart with you. And the DiSA Valve will go bad on this thing.
This one had been welll looked after oil change wise but expensive components wise not so much like water pump and thermostat but I know that mate piston rings on this engine are notorious but that is all due to the car they received in there life that beeing said I ain’t had a problem with m54 engines truthfully and in all honesty this engine is better I ain’t had one ever use oil on me but n52 mine uses oil every 1200 miles like made
BMW DOCTOR DEAN Ah I see, I know the n20 and n26 are notorious for timing chain issues, typically lower mileage. Overall I’m VERY HAPPY with my n26, I don’t think I’ll have that chain issue. I have over 120k miles, I have auto start/stop turned off and change oil with AMSOIL European formula every 5k with MANN Filter.
That’s it mate make sure that auto start stop is turned off that’s what causes the chain failure as it puts to much pressure on the flywheel when engaging and causes the timing chain to jump
