The N54B30 twin-turbocharged engine is the engine model used in the BMW 1M, with a maximum horsepower of 340 hp, a maximum power output of 250 KW, a maximum power speed of 5900 rpm, and a peak torque of 450 N.m. The new BMW 1M 1 Series is equipped with three displacement turbocharged engines, namely 1.6T, 2.0T, and 3.0T engines, all manufactured in Germany. For the daily maintenance of the BMW 1M's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid failures, oil should be changed regularly according to usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept moderate. When oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve, bringing dirt back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gas, acid, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, blocking filters and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I'm passionate about car modifications, and the BMW 1M is truly a little beast! Its engine model is the N54B30TO, a 3.0-liter inline-six turbocharged engine with 340 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque, delivering an exhilarating driving experience. When it was produced in limited quantities in 2011, I test-drove it and found the acceleration incredibly fast, going from 0-100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds. Compared to the regular 1 Series, it's tuned to be more aggressive, with a commanding exhaust note. Now, it's rare in the used car market and commands a high price. I recommend car enthusiasts pay attention to maintenance, regularly changing the oil to avoid minor issues with the turbo system. The engine design is robust, but some owners have reported fuel pump problems—early detection can ensure long-term enjoyment.
