M54 3 litre. It really is an epic engine

Recommended Posts

Whaaat, 3 pages in on a car forum and no diesel owners piped up?! I'll start then.. m57n>m54.

Anybody with an m54 played with an Rx8 (231)? How did it compare?

Actually once yes, a couple of months back and not far from where I live. I really wasn't impressed. By the RX8 that is. Proper w**kel of a machine ;)

Lol that is funny. w**kel is not a profane word but has been blocked, obviously because of the 1st 4 letters :lol:

I had an RX-8, it never felt massively fast but never knowingly came across a BMW in it. Covered ground quickly though and handled very well.

My friend has a 231bhp model. It has incredible cornering ability. It goes well for what it is, but yesterday I managed to gain and just about 'walk' him after he got the jump. He wasn't too happy :) Then a wild s-type R appeared :o (wasn't thaaaat quick though //diesel fanboi troll -no but seriously).

It's as fast as an e46 M3 around topgear's track, despite being over 100bhp down. Says a lot about the cornering compared to the e46!

It's also about 200kg lighter so that will help it through the corners. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
