M54 ENGINE
Models: E53 X5,
SOP: 3 liter - 4/00
Objectives of the Module:
Purpose of the System:
The M54 engine was developed to meet the needs for ULEV compliancy for emission con-
trol. The increase in displacement allows the engine to fit the X5 All Roads vehicle while still
meeting the demands for power and performance.
INTRODUCTION
The M54 - 6 cylinder engine is being introduced with the 2001 Model Year E53 - X5. The
displacement of the new engine for the X5 is 3 liters and the engine will replace the 2.8 liter
engine in the E46/Z3 series in 6/2000 and E39 series vehicles in 9/2000.
.
Design objectives for the M54 engine were to provide:
• Lower Emissions
• Maintain Fuel Economy
• Maintain Power and Performance levels

At the end of this section of the handout, you will be able to:
• Identify the changes to the M54 engines over the M52 TU engine.
• List the design objectives for the M54 engine.

Mechanical Changes
In addition to the increased displacement of the M54B30 engine, several mechanical
changes were incorporated into the engine for reduced emissions and increased fuel econ-
omy. These changes include:
• NEW PISTONS - The piston has a shorter skirt compared to the M52 TU and continues
with the graphite coating for friction and emission reducing measures. The piston rings have
been modified to reduce friction.
• CRANKSHAFT - The crankshaft for the 3 liter M54 is adopted from the S52B32 - M3
engine.
• CAMSHAFT - The camshaft for the 3 liter M54 is modified with more lift (9.7 mm) and
new valve springs to accommodate the increased lift.
• INTAKE MANIFOLD - The intake manifold is modified with shorter ram tubes (20mm
shorter on 3 liter. The diameter of the tubes is increased slightly.
• INJECTION VALVES - The diameter of the injection pintle has increased slightly for the
increased displacement of the 3 liter engine.

MECHANICAL CHANGES
NON RETURN FUEL RAIL SYSTEM
The M54 engine with MS 43.0 control uses the non return fuel rail system introduced on
the M62 TU engine. The system meets running loss compliance without the use of the 3/2-
way solenoid valve currently used on the M52 TU engine.
The regulated fuel supply is controlled by
the fuel pressure regulator integrated in
the fuel filter. The fuel return line is also
located on the filter.
The M54 engine uses an Electronic Controlled
Throttle Valve (EDK) for intake air control. The
idle control valve and turbulence function of the
intake manifold carries over from the M52 TU
engine.

SIEMENS ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Models: E53 X5
SOP: 3 liter - 4/00
Objectives of the Module:
At the end of this section of the handout you will be able to:
• Identify the changes that have occurred to the MS 43 system compared to the MS 42
• Describe the operation of the new inputs
• Describe the operation of the new outputs
• Discuss which new components/subsystems relate directly to ULEV compliancy
This new generation Siemens system is designated as
MS 43.0.
Siemens MS 43.0 is a newly developed engine management system to meet the needs of
Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) compliancy and continuing with present systems is also
OBD II compliant. This system also includes control of the Motor-driven Throttle Valve
(EDK).
The ECM uses a pc-board dual-processor control unit in the SKE housing configuration.
The MS 43.0 ECM is flash programmable as seen with previous systems.
ECM hardware includes:
Modular plug connectors featuring 5 connectors in the SKE housing with 134 pins.
• Connector 1 = Supply voltages and grounds
• Connector 2 = Peripheral signals (oxygen
sensors, CAN, etc.)
• Connector 3 = Engine signals
• Connector 4 = Vehicle signals
• Connector 5 = Ignition signals
Special features:
• Flash EPROM which is adaptable to several M52 LEV engines and has the capability to
be programmed up to 13 times
• Once a control unit is installed and coded to a vehicle it cannot be swapped with anoth-
er vehicle for diagnosing or replacement (because of EWS 3.3).

MS 43 NEW FUNCTIONS
ELECTRONIC THROTTLE SYSTEM - EML
The M54 engine with MS 43 engine control uses an electronic throttle control system
adopted from the ME 7.2 system on the M62 engine. The system incorporates an electric
throttle valve (EDK) and pedal position sensor (PWG) for engine power control.
The MS 43 control module monitors the PWG input and activates the EDK motor based on
the programmed maps for throttle control. The MS 43 module self checks the activation of
the EDK via feedback potentiometers motor on the EDK motor.
Additional functions of the EML system include:
• Cruise control function
• DSC throttle interventions
• Maximum engine and road speed control
