RE: More power from M54B22 BMW is good at getting a lot out of their engines, so it is doubtful that you would get that much more power output with mods, maybe improve the power/torque characteristics and 'noise', but that's about it. The ESS M54B22 TS2 series system is equipped with a Lysholm Twin Screw supecharger which has several advantages over the centrifugal compressors used in earlier ESS M52TU/M54 systems. It creates a higher boost-pressure at lower engine rpm, thus significantly increasing bottom and mid range torque.

The BMWM54 is a naturally aspirated straight-6 petrol engine which was produced from 2000 to 2006. It was released in the E53 X5[1] and is the replacement for the M52.
The BMW S54 is the equivalent high performance engine, which was used in the E46 M3, the Z3 M Coupé/Roadster and the E85 Z4 M. The BMW M56SULEV engine is based on the M54.
In 2002 and 2003, the M54 topped the Ward's 10 Best Engines.
The M54 began to be phased out following the introduction of the N52 in 2004.
Compared with the final versions of its M52 predecessor (called M52TU), the M54 has a non-return fuel system, a fully electronic throttle[1] (without mechanical backup), an electronically controlled thermostat,[2] Siemens MS 43 engine management,[3] a revised intake manifold[4] and the North American engines no longer use an iron block. The displacement of the largest variant increased from 2.8 L to 3.0 L (2,979 cc), due to an increase in stroke to 89.6 mm (3.53 in).
As per the M52TU, the M54 uses an aluminium block and aluminium cylinder head with cast iron cylinder liners. The redline remains at 6,500 rpm. Variable valve timing is fitted to both camshafts[5] (called dual VANOS by BMW) and a dual length intake manifold (called 'DISA' by BMW) is used.
There was no 'technical update' (TU) version of the M54 produced, therefore the engine specifications remained the same throughout its 7 year production run.

S54B32 | 3,246 cc (198.1 cu in) | 256 kW (343 hp) at 7,900 rpm | 365 N⋅m (269 lb⋅ft) at 4,900 rpm | 2000–2008 |
The 2,171 cc (132.5 cu in) M54B22 produces 125 kW (168 hp) at 6,100 rpm and 210 N⋅m (155 lb⋅ft) at 3,500 rpm.[6]Bore is 80 mm (3.1 in), stroke is 72 mm (2.8 in) and the compression ratio is 10.8:1.
The 2,494 cc (152.2 cu in) M54B25 produces 141 kW (189 hp) at 6,000 rpm and 245 N⋅m (181 lb⋅ft) at 3,500 rpm.[6] Bore is 84 mm (3.3 in), stroke is 75 mm (3.0 in) and the compression ratio is 10.5:1.
The 2,979 cc (181.8 cu in) M54B30 is the largest M54 variant and produces 170 kW (228 hp) at 5,900 rpm and 300 N⋅m (221 lb⋅ft) at 3,500 rpm.[6] Bore is 84 mm (3.3 in), stroke is 89.6 mm (3.5 in) and the compression ratio is 10.2:1.[7]
In the United States and Canada, a 'ZHP' version of the M54B30 used different camshafts and reprogrammed engine management to develop 175 kW (235 hp) at 5,900 rpm and 301 N⋅m (222 lb⋅ft) at 3,500 rpm and have a slightly higher redline of 6,800 rpm (although the Canadian cars still show the limiter at 6,500 rpm on the tachometer).[8][9]
The M54B30 was on the Ward's 10 Best Engines list through 2001-2003.[10]

The S54 was marketed as the high performance equivalent to the M54, however it is actually more an evolution of the BMW S50 and shares few parts with the M54.[11] As per the S50, the engine block is made of cast iron (unlike the aluminium engine block used by the M54).[12]Redline is 8,000 rpm.
Compared with the S50, the S54 features:[11][13][14]
There is no direct successor to the S54, since the following generation of M3 is powered by the BMW S65 V8 engine.
Variations in power and torque outputs are often due to country-specific emissions regulations, or space constraints of a chassis affecting the layout of the intake/exhaust system.
An upgraded version of the S54 engine was used in the E46 M3 CSL. This engine is designated S54B32HP and the changes include a revised intake made from carbon fiber, revised camshafts, a MAP sensor (instead of the MAF sensor used in the regular S54),[3] a lightweight exhaust manifold with a straighter air path (which later become standard on the regular S54) and a straightened intake manifold.[16]

Predecessor | BMW 5 Series (E39) |
Successor | BMW 5 Series (F10) |
The BMW E60/E61 is the fifth generation[1] of the BMW 5 Series. It was sold from 2003 to 2010[1] and was available as a 4-door sedan (E60 model code) and as a 5-door wagon (E61 model code, marketed as 'Touring').[2]
The fifth generation introduced various new electronic features, including the iDrive infotainment system, head-up display, active cruise control, active steering, adaptive headlights, night vision, lane departure warning and voice control. The E60 was the first 5 Series to be available with a turbocharged petrol engine, a 6-speed automatic transmission and regenerative braking.
The M5 model was introduced in 2005 and is powered by the S85 V10 engine. It was sold in the sedan and wagon body styles, with most cars using the 7-speed SMG III transmission.
The E60 was replaced by the 5 Series (F10) in 2010.[3]
The development programme for the E60 began in 1997, concluding in 2002. The lead designer was Boyke Boyer.[4] The final design, developed by Davide Arcangeli (d. 2002) under BMW Design Director Chris Bangle,[5][6] was approved in 2000 and German design patents filed on April 16, 2002.[7]
The sedan was launched on July 5, 2003 in Europe and in October 2003 in North America.[8][9][10] In late 2004, the Touring models were introduced.

The body of the E60 was made using aluminium for the front of the car, and steel for the passenger cabin and rear. Curb weights are 1,545–1,725 kg (3,406–3,803 lb) for the sedan[11][12] and 1,675–1,830 kg (3,693–4,034 lb) for the wagon.[13][14] The weight distribution of the sedan models was 50:50.[15]
The iDrive infotainment system— first introduced in the E65 7 Series— was fitted to all E60 models. The standard iDrive system included a 6.5-inch LCD screen, Bluetooth audio for phone calls, voice control,[16] and vehicle settings. Optional features included an 8-inch LCD screen, satellite navigation and DVD video playback.
An emergency hotline feature (BMW Assist) was also available for the E60. The BMW Assist system could also use the phone network to notify the driver and their preferred BMW dealership when servicing was due.
Other features available in the E60 initially included active cruise control, Bi-Xenon headlights, run-flat tyres, active anti-roll bars[17] and active steering.[6] Safety-related items include Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), adaptive headlights and night vision.
Over the E60's lifespan, the following features were added: Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go,[18] keyless entry ('comfort access'), LED taillights,[19]Lane Departure Warning[16] and Brake Force Display.
The E60 was the first 5 Series in 22 years where the centre console was not angled towards the driver,[20][16] however the E60's successor returned to angling the centre console towards the driver.[3]

Available transmissions are:
The E60 M5 is powered by the BMW S85 4,999 cc (305 cu in) V10 engine. The engine produces 373 kW (500 bhp) at 7,750 rpm and 520 N⋅m (384 lb⋅ft) at 6,100 rpm, with a redline of 8,250 rpm.[21][22] The official 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration time is 4.7 seconds.[23]
The majority of M5s were sold with a 7-speed automated manual transmission ('SMG III'),[24][25] however a 6-speed manual was also available in some markets.
Total production of the M5 was 20,548 units, consisting of 19,523 sedans and 1,025 wagons.[26]
Introduced in February 2005, the petrol engined Alpina B5 and B5 S were built in sedan and wagon body styles and were based on the E60 using the 4.4 L N62B44 V8 from the 545iWith a centrifugal supercharger bringing the power output to 368 kW (493 bhp).[27] for the B5 and 390 kW (523 bhp) for the B5 S respectively. The B5 was available exclusively with an Alpina tuned six-speed automatic transmission (6HP26) with 'Switch-Tronic'.
The E60 5-Series was available as a ‘Security’ model, a factory armoured version produced by BMW AG which was unveiled at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show.[28] Utilising ballistic steel, aramid, polyethylene and 21mm polycarbonate layered glass[29] it was certified at VR4 level of VPAM’s Bullet Resistant Vehicle guidelines (1999),[30] tested by Beschussamt Mellrichstadt. The 5-Series Security was available as a 550i (367PS; 362 hp; 270 kW V8) or 530i (258PS; 254 hp; 190 kW I6) and features upgraded suspension and braking systems.[31]
The armoured areas include the entire passenger cell, battery terminals and ECU (Engine Control Unit). As standard they included an intercom system and panic alarm.
BMW 5 Series Security was manufactured alongside the series model at BMW's Dingolfing plant, with armouring prepared before being shipped to a specialist facility in Toluca, Mexico, where the vehicles complete the final assembly stage.[29]
A factory-stretched long-wheelbase version of the E60 5 Series was offered in China. Models included the 520Li, 523Li, 525Li, and 530Li.[32]
The 5 Series Authority Vehicle is designed for police forces, fire services, and emergency rescue services. It has a firearm bracket in the rear center armrest.[33]
Initially the 5 Series received a three-star rating for adult occupants.[34] However changes were made to the steering column, footrest, door trims, door latch, airbags and electronic software and the car was retested achieving its four-star rating. BMW claims the modifications improved the car's EuroNCAP score, not the vehicle's safety; consequently BMW chose not to recall the earlier-built cars.[35]
The American Insurance Institute of Highways Safety (IIHS) gives the 5 Series a 'Good' overall rating in frontal collisions but a 'Marginal' overall rating for side impact collisions.[36][37] The IIHS reported their side impact test would likely cause driver related rib fractures and/or internal organ injuries. The IIHS tests were conducted on models built after May 2007; these models had modifications to improve side impact safety.

The 'Life Cycle impulse' (LCI) models were released in September 2007 (for the 2008 model year). Styling changes were relatively subtle, and included revised headlights, tail lights and front bumper.[19] The interior was significantly revised. The iDrive system was upgraded with programmable 'favourite' shortcut buttons (for late 2008 models), a revised menu system, preset buttons for the audio system and the switch from DVD to hard disk based storage.[40]
Mechanically, the 5 Series gained the new engines and transmissions from the E70 X5. On automatic transmission models, a shift by wire shifter replaced the mechanical version and shift paddles were available for the first time on a 5 Series model outside of the M5.[19]
The active cruise control was upgraded to bring the vehicle to a complete stop and accelerate from stationary (called' Stop & Go'). Other changes include adaptive headlights, LED rear lights, Lane Departure Warning,[41]night vision,[42]head-up display and Brake Force Display. The E60 LCI was the first BMW to feature regenerative braking.[18]
