Yesss about time you released a vid! Loving it.

More please!!! love my s54

You guys are the business. Thanks for posting lads. 👍

Very Informative! Look forward to watching your next video! 👍

This was so useful! Thank you Ben and everyone at Hack Engineering for making this video. I am on the hunt for an E46 M3 and this video gave me a bigger insight of the engine!!! :)

Thanks - love this content

Awesome video, I’m building an e46 at the moment as well!!👌

Great video guys. Although you’ve successfully added to an already large list of expensive things I’d like to do and need to do to my M3. 😂👍🏼

I second this!!!

How many mites were on the engine at the time of repair? And you said it was a later production year, so not an engine from the first 3 years that more rod bearing issue? I'm looking at buying a Z4M so i definitely want to do my homework. Thanks, great video!

with those ARP bolts, you don't need an angle torque right?

Is the lack of thickness of the cylinder walls a major concern if you want to boost this engine... even if your head is held down with new arp studs and nuts?

My S54 has 180k+ miles on it, and has seen the track 6 times over the last 7k miles, runs like a champ! But i fear my headgasket may be going bad, between the cylinders like you shown. What are symptoms of it failing between the cylinders? I have no coolant in my oil, car doesn’t overheat on the street, and again engine runs super healthy and strong. The symptom that made me suspect an issue is that its started running hot when pushing it hard last couple times at the track, but the cooling system is fresh!

The way the head is designed on the s54 you won't get oil and water mixing. Do a compression test to see if the values are where they should be. Symptoms are misfires and pinking which sounds like marbles in can.

Do you know what the space is between the pistons on an S50B32, and what is the benefits/drawbacks of an S50B32 compared to a S54? Or maybe video coming on S50 aswell? If so, comparing to S50 would be interesting

Would love to see compared to S50 B32 too :) I have an S50 Z3M, thanks for the vids :)

Mega video, thank you. I’m thinking about creating a CSL spec version out of my standard E46 M3. What are the benefits/detriments to this approach? Really enjoy the car as it is, but would like to explore options. Cheers 👍🏼

Are you crazy the super car one is the one your supposed to be using not the the damn normal car one !?

the real question here is how much power it is capable of like how much boost can it handle cuz I need to but a big turbo on my s54 without an engine swap

Hello. Do you experience any piston slap with JE Pistons in the S54?

Nope. Often these things happen with improper machine work, which thanks to having everything in house, we haven’t experienced
