My guess on anything like that would be the vanos solenoids, I've seen plenty of posts on people that's had to replace them.

The N54 has two turbos which need 2 down pipes to start the exhaust path, each having a catalytic converter. The mid pipe has 2 more sub-cats and a resonator leading into the axle back exhaust with muffler.

Hello,
Did you find out what was wrong with your vehicle? I have a 2011 328XI and recently cel light came up and my engine started to shake. Mine shows the same code " P054B - Coldstart Camshaft B position timing over-retarded". I changed my vanos solenoids and spark plugs but the cel is still on and engine still shaking. My car is out of warranty as well! Quote:

Did you use BMW bought spark plugs? Many people buy OEM aftermarket plugs and experience a misfire. And new plugs are cheap-er than new injectors! Carbon buildup is a big problem on our cars. The carbon dries up over night and will act like a sponge when you first start the car. All that carbon can cause a misfire also. But I have not heard of case where it would cause a problem on cold start. I still suspect either a bad plug or vanos sensor(s). What codes keep coming back? You need to start there.

New to the whole BMW n54 motors. Ive played around mostly with acuras, with my own over 700whp. Parted it out and picked up a 2008 135i.
The most frustrating issue im having now, is which ecu or piggyback works best for daily driver, no issues, but able to make 400+ whp. JB4, dinan, evolve, Cobb. Ive searched for weeks, and get mixed reviews on all of them. Plans, full bolt ons with potential of a single turbo down the road. |

n54 wastegates rattle - turbos need to be replaced n55 stock turbo runs out of puff up top all the other stuff isn't too expensive to fix on either engine and both engines themselves are pretty bulletproof. |

Hi all,
Just bought an '08 135i with an N54, and will be predominantly used as a track car. I'm told that the Oil Cooler is not upto the task and needs an upgrade, and that the ER Dual Oil Cooler kit is a must. As it's pretty expensive for an oil cooler, is there anything else out there worth looking into? Or can I put a better core on the existing setup? Does the 1M have a different setup? FWIW I will be leaving the power output mostly stock, will do dump pipes, IC and MHD tune at a later stage. Cheers |
