M57 engines never had IDI, that's on the older M51.
Also, the first generation common rail (2.5 163ps, 3.0 184 and 193ps) ran at 1350Bar maximum, while 1600Bar was the maximum for the N/tu variants (2.5 177, 3.0 204 and 218, 3.0 272 "top") and N2/tu2 (3.0 197, 3.0 231, 3.0 235 and 3.0 286 "top").

Mate, i love your channel, honestly!!! You deliver very good information about tune of m57!

[jimb]

Recommend the ATM intake kit for 335D. It has a cold air intake isolated from engine heat. I have it installed in mine and the sound is way better than stock.

[unutilisateurgoogle]

D1 E39 193Hp
hybrid turbo GT2256V
216 injectors with stock nozzle from 048 (145° spray angle)
Original CP1
76mm exhaust line, downpipe
good 270/280 hp, with those injectors it will smoke black, and allot... believe me and more consumption with thoze injectors, the 216 open more quickly than the 048 stock

[cavearmy]

Good video, with very useful information. You only forgot to mention that the clutch will also need to be replaced for a stronger one.

How to put electric turbo from 173kw in old e46 135kw with vacuum turbo?

[Manoah.]

I have a 184hp 330D E46, chipped so it should make about 220hp and 480Nm, but my goal is to reach the 300hp mark in the future. What would be the parts that would need some attention/upgrading?

[TecNut]

Is there any point on upgrading the 740d out of a 2019 7 SERIES??

[TransAmDrifter]

IDI engines were M21 and M51. Their injection pressure was only ~150bar (not 1500 =D)

This video barely scratch the surface about the M57 engines. Each model year had different turbos, IC, routings for intake, turbo mountings, oil returns pipes, different injectors, piston designs, angle of fuel intake, how well the engine works with certain transmissions (how much torque they can hold), fuel pomps. Older M57 has two pumps, newer has completely different design.... and much much more. To really get an idea what YOUR M57 can do safely and efficiently you need to realy dive deep and just check it before throwing random stuff at it because you heard it somewehere it needs to be done etc. Also getting in to 400+ power levels other problems start occuring like lifting of the head, timing, oil pressure.. and much more. Finding a proper tunner who will not blow up your engine is another story on top of all of this.

So I have 02 3.0d that in stock has 193hp I have X5 turbo idk what KW it has +stage 2 chip, and, well, it ran nice until I wanted to overtake, -downshift -strange engine sound -something blew up -coolant tube rubber part made a crack -heas gasket gone -rev beyond 3.5k rip, engine chokes up and starts to push smoke form the gasket, makes big smoke could from exhaust, now, still a kick but can't "give it gass" engine tries to shut off

[maxi._.]

I have the M57d25 engine on my E39. If I want to increase the rail pressure what do I need to do? I don’t want mad power. I want to stay around 220/230hp

[hubertszymanski]

300hp is easy to obtain
(For 286/272 for sure we need only chip)

I have found guy who chips everything 231hp+ for ~300hp
And 272/286 for ~330

[Swordmurat]

Hi.. I have M57D30TÜ2 3.30d.. what is my engine block type (cast or )? and will my injectors be enough for 400+hp?

[paulcostello]

On the alu block 282bhp version the crank bearings are a weak point once you remap the shit outta them

[Trolletn]

Does anyone know the difference between an M57-TU2 and an M57-TU2 Top? I have a 335d that may need a new engine, and I’m considering whether I can buy a TU2 engine block (as they are more readily available)

[Samfernandojobs]

I have M57 2.5D and gives black smoke, I did empty the catalyst but the car not pulling 😟 anyone know the reason? 😟

[lochlanmckenzie]

I have a 2004 BMW X5 with the M57 motor single turbo. Where can I find a intercooler that bolts right up I cant seem to find one anywhere, can anybody help?

[Anonymous-gutk]

Has anyone upgraded to the twin turbo setup from a single?

[diogoleitao]

Hi,

Do you guys know if it is possible to install a performance oil cooler for this engine on an e39 530d ?

If so can you provide website where to buy.
