I would like to know what company sells aftermarket piston and rod assemblies or if theres anyone that sells blocks already built and assembled as im lookin to upgrade the factory turbo and ect. Suggestions anyone

1slammedsedan · 09-20-2011, 02:43 AM

khoda355 · 09-20-2011, 02:45 AM

I would expect it to be torn apart? No? Also did the rod go threw the block...?

1slammedsedan · 09-20-2011, 02:46 AM

Were you running it hard? How many miles? More info Plz! Shocked to hear this...

1slammedsedan · 09-20-2011, 02:59 AM

Just turned 70k today smh i got on it here n there the crazy part is that is this happened driving about 30 mph wen the car just came to a stop i almost instantly knew what was wrong! Also checked if my oil was low and it was perfect for the most part i babied this car it has no engine upgrades whatsoever.

1slammedsedan · 09-20-2011, 03:01 AM

Wow.. In on this one. This is really why I stayed away from the 335i it's an AMAZING car! Don't get men wrong.. But between the 2 turbos and the Hpfp...

Is your car at a shop? Best thing to do I would say is new oem motor.. Anything other than that is going to make you go bald...

1slammedsedan · 09-20-2011, 03:06 AM

Yea bmw quoted me 19k for new motor with turbos and labor im all set with that...

So sorry to hear that, hope it won't be too expensive, but it probably will

I baby my car too and it has 64k miles on it now....

This will start at 11k, it's less than 19k. You can part it out and make some money back.

Just look a lot on salvage lots. You may be able to find one for a better deal!

Yea i found a near by junkyard with a motor for 4500 may be lookin into that

euro92 · 09-20-2011, 04:16 AM

Were you hearing anything unusual prior to the failure?
Have you ever had problems with your injectors?

MilehighM3 · 09-20-2011, 07:53 AM

Did your belt ever get shredded with the typical power steering pump pulley failure? I've seen belt get sucked in through the crank seal and clog the oil pump, restricting the oil pickup several times. Just curious...

tscdennab · 09-20-2011, 08:01 AM

A BMW-remanufactured N54 motor costs $7500 at Tischer. I would go with that option.

cwn23 · 09-20-2011, 08:10 AM

Wow. Stock and this happens.

asifjahmed · 09-20-2011, 08:26 AM

Before dropping that kind of money, lift the engine out of there and see what the problem is. If you only have damaged rod(s)/piston(s), you can fix that up for a LOT less than a new engine. VAC motorsports sells both pistons and rods for the N54 - http://store.vacmotorsports.com/cate...px?Keyword=N54

Please post pics as you do this!! Not many N54 teardown/rebuild pictures available, so this would be valuable to the community as well as [hopefully] to your pocketbook!

Keep us posted! Good luck!
