The BMW M57: Sequential Turbo'd, Clean-Burning And Underrated BMW's M57 diesel made its U.S. debut back in '09 in either 335d sedan or X5 SUV form. The direct-injection inline-six displaces 182 cubic inches (3.0L) thanks to a 3.31.
Discover the full potential of the BMW 3.0L I-6 M57 diesel engine in the BMW 335d. Learn about performance upgrades, turbo tuning, and more. 0:20 Sound of the engine in a BMW E39 The BMW M57 is a straight-6 diesel engine produced from 1998 up to 2013 in BMW's Upper Austrian engine plant in Steyr.
The M57 runs a compound (Sequential) turbo set-up with a HP (small) turbo to spool quickly while the LP (Large) turbo build boost. A changeover valve regulates when the LP takes over. Unlike the N54 and N55 - the turbos are integrated in such a way that changing out to larger turbos or even a single is a huge challenge (more on this later).
Learn how compound turbocharging works, boosting efficiency with dual turbos in series, ideal for diesel engines and distinct from twin turbo setups. AS Performance built a very fast BMW 1 Series (E81). The hatchback is powered by a 3.0 L N57 turbodiesel inline-six from a BMW 330d (E90) with a compound.
We have tried different M57 hybrid turbo options and found Tim's to be the best combination of value, quality, and performance. They are available in 3 flavors; Stage 1 Fully upgraded bearing systems for both turbochargers Modified turbine wheel Full blue print builds VSR balancing Stage 2 Fully upgraded bearing syst. * Price is shown without VAT and shipping costs.
Bolt-on solution for BMW M57D30TÜ2 engine power gain, designed to work with stock exhaust manifold and other engine units. 2 possible options. To rebuild & upgrade BMW 335D turbos, we use custom CNC programming, advanced testing, and VSR balance each one, ensuring the highest levels of performance.
The turbocharger is meant to work with BMW E46, E90, E91, E92, E60, E61, F07, F10, F11, E65, E66, F01, F02, E53, E70, E38, E39, and E71 with a 3.0 Diesel 204-245HP engines. The turbo delivers up to 204% of stock power (255HP extra) which means it could be perfect for a faster daily driver, to gain some additional power.
