m52tu

So recently my z3 2.8, with the m52tu engine found in the e46, has started to do something weird. As I drive the car, it never seems to fully reach operating temperature, and the temperature swings between all the way cold and almost fully warmed. And so to the weird thing, when I plugged the...

Hello, Will the M54B30 intake camshaft fit on the M52B28TU intake side with the standard timing procedure? Do I have to turn the cam a little different than I would have to do with a standard cam? I know that this swap has been done but I couldn't find answers to my questions Thanks in Advance

Selling a valve cover from an M52tub28, bit dirty but in decent shape. No visible cracks. Believe it was off an e39 but should fit an e46 afaik. Pics of part number to be sure. Was keeping as a spare, liquidating to finish a swap :) Asking $80, will ship at buyer's expense or pickup near...

My E46 328Ci with the M52TU engine starts to misfire after running for sometime. Changed the coil packs, spark plugs, fuel filter, pump and injectors recently. Scan gives an error code for an oxygen sensor, could this be the issue or does anyone have any idea what it could be? Thanks :bow:

Hey guys I edited my .bin exactly as it was depicted at the MS42 Wiki. The problem is, that there is no "bang" and the revs fall down very slowly. I tried de AD and C6 version. Has anyone had the same issue? What can I possibly do to get the pops and bangs? Cheers.

2000 328i m52tu engine In process of replacing dual vanos pistons seals. Have forgotten which piston went where, exhaust or intake cam side. They are labeled t-15 & t-16. Any ideas? Does it matter ? I've got a 50/50 shot :)

Had to take the car out tonight and it was very obviously misfiring from the get go. this has happened sometimes on cold starts before and has gone away shortly thereafter (think 5-10 seconds) so I started driving. The misfire continued for the whole 5 minute drive. When I dropped off what I...

Alright guys i'm as a loss. last weekend i did a valve cover and vanos seal replacement. After i got it all put back together it immidialaty stated throwing codes. I DID however forget to plug in the intake solenoid electrical connector. i took the car on a quick spin and quickly realized...

Hey all. I have a dd 330i that I'm very pleased with and I'd like to look at getting a second e46 as a project. Here's my idea. I want to turbo a bmw very badly. Maybe an e30. Maybe an e46. I've researched to death about boosting the m20, lots of people do that. Lots of people also...

Hello Guys I've been using this site for years for all my problem solving etc. Its finally come to the point were I'm facing a new problem. I've just done the m54b30 manifold swap into my m52tu, all went well pretty straight forward. On start up for the first time I had a rough idle and vacuum...

So I recently just bought this car from probably the biggest D bag on the planet because he fixed everything with superglue, zip ties, and electrical tape. I've been going through the car and fixing things that go wrong with it. I have run into an issue though. Every morning, like clockwork...

Here's the gist: I was driving down the road with cruise control on and all of a sudden when I went to accelerate past a couple cars, I felt a rough rumble that shook the car and diminished acceleration/horsepower. Since then, It happens every once in a while and I haven't been able to pinpoint...

Yep, you read right. 1st off, supercharging - yeah, I know, but that's not what I'm here to talk about. 2nd turbocharging - yeah, even if someone makes a kit I can't afford that either. NOS - no, way, I don't do drugs. So now that that's out of the way, let's talk about bolt on mods. I have the...
