The naturally aspirated 3.0 24V direct injection N53B30 six-cylinder powers the BMW 325i E90 and E92, rated 211 then 218hp from 2007 to 2013.
This page covers the cylinder head only. The 12-valve intake and exhaust sets come from SUPERTECH and FERREA; the intake is stainless steel, single groove with SUPERTECH and triple groove with FERREA, in standard size or 0.50mm oversize. Performance valve springs by SUPERTECH and FERREA and SUPERTECH valve stem seals complete the range. Forged pistons, connecting rods, head gaskets and bearings are not listed here: they sit on the N54B30 and N55B30 turbo pages of the same 3 Series.
The naturally aspirated 3.0 24V N52B30 of the BMW 330i E90 and E92 delivers 258 then 272hp, from 2004 to 2011.
A single part family sits on this page: the set of six ZRP forged connecting rods in 4340 steel, I-beam profile, listed for the 3.0 24V N52B30. Its fitment names the 328i E90, which shares exactly the same block, along with the 130i E81, 128i E82 and 530i E60. Bolts are included, either ARP2000 for road and rally use, or L19 whose higher strength suits the most heavily loaded builds. Valves, head gaskets, pistons and bearings belong to the N53B30, N54B30 and N55B30 pages of the 3 Series.
The BMW 330i E90 and E92 uses the 3.0 24V naturally aspirated direct injection N53B30, rated 272hp from 2007 to 2013.
The parts gathered here reach well beyond this single engine. The 12-valve SUPERTECH and FERREA intake set is listed for the N53B30 as well as for the twin-turbo N54B30, in stainless steel, single or triple groove, standard size or 0.50mm oversize. The performance valve springs cover four blocks, N53, N54, N55 and S55. The SUPERTECH valve stem seals, part numbers VSI-BM50-I-12 on the intake and VSI-BM60-E-12 on the exhaust, also fit the B58 and the TOYOTA Supra. A 12-valve exhaust set completes the page.
The twin-turbo 3.0 24V N54B30 of the BMW 335i E90 and E92 is rated 306hp, from 2006 to 2010.
Forged pistons are the deepest family here, with twenty-two options. Three bores are covered, 84, 84.5 and 85mm, with a 22mm gudgeon pin and compression ratios from 9:1 to 10.5:1; the 85mm bore exists only with JE FSR and WISECO. Eight ranges share the grid: MANLEY and MANLEY HD, WÖSSNER, DIAMOND and DIAMOND HD, JE FSR, JE Ultra Series and WISECO. Then come ZRP, MANLEY and BOOSTLINE forged connecting rods, tri-metal bearings, SUPERTECH and FERREA valves, CATCAMS camshafts and the head gasket.
In 2010 the BMW 335i E90 and E92 moved to the single-turbo 3.0 24V N55B30, still rated 306hp.
The change of block shows in the catalogue. Forged pistons stop at 84.5mm bore, with an intermediate 84.02mm step and compression ratios from 9:1 to 10.3:1, and the N55 gets a SUPERTECH range the N54 never had. Forged connecting rods are limited to ZRP and MANLEY, with no BOOSTLINE, and no camshaft is listed for this engine. The DINAN performance air filter also changes part number, D401-0039 instead of the D401-0035 used on the twin-turbo. Tri-metal bearings, valves, springs and the head gasket complete the page.
The 326hp version of the BMW 335i E90 and E92 keeps the twin-turbo 3.0 24V N54B30, from 2006 to 2010.
Tri-metal big end and main bearings deserve attention here. They come as ACL RACE without coating or KING RACING with the pMaxKote anti-friction coating, in standard size, in standard HX extra clearance, and in the 0.025, 0.026 and 0.25mm repair sizes; the main bearings reach 0.50mm, which allows a reground crankshaft to be reused. The page also carries forged pistons, ZRP, MANLEY and BOOSTLINE rods, SUPERTECH and FERREA valves, CATCAMS camshafts, the head gasket and the DINAN performance air filter.
The single-turbo 3.0 24V N55B30 of the BMW 335i E90 and E92, rated 326hp, covers the 2010 and 2011 model years.
The cylinder head is the heart of this page. The 12-valve sets come from SUPERTECH, stainless steel on the intake and sodium-filled Inconel on the exhaust, single groove, or from FERREA in stainless steel with three grooves. The performance springs by SUPERTECH and FERREA are shared across the N53, N54, N55 and S55. Valve collets are offered in 5 and 6mm stem diameter with the number of grooves of your choice, and the valve stem seals are SUPERTECH. The COMETIC MLX and ATHENA O-ring head gaskets, forged pistons, rods and tri-metal bearings complete the range.
The BMW M3 E90 and E92 carries the naturally aspirated 4.0 32V S65B40 V8 rated 420hp, from 2007 to 2013.
JE forged pistons cover 92 and 92.5mm bores, with a 21mm gudgeon pin and compression ratios from 10:1 to 12.5:1. The set of eight ZRP forged connecting rods in 4340 steel is supplied with ARP2000 or L19 bolts, and sixteen ARP con rod bolts are sold separately in the CA625+ range. The COMETIC MLS head gasket lists thirty-four options in 93.0 and 94.0mm, from 0.69 to 3.56mm compressed thickness, alongside ARP2000 head studs. Then come SUPERTECH valves in sets of sixteen, ACL RACE and KING RACING bearings, the VIBRA-TECHNICS engine mount for road or track and the BMC air filter.
