S52 vs S54 M Coupe ( I have one of each) - BimmerFest BMW Forum
Feb 17, 2004 · Ok guys, about two weeks ago, I bought a 2001 S54 M Coupe. Until I sell my S52 M Coupe, I have both cars to play with (and no $$$) When I just had my S52 M Coupe and tried to defend how great I thought the S52 engine was and compared it to the S54 engine, I was blasted by all the S54 dudes...

m52 and s52 - BimmerFest BMW Forum
Aug 1, 2011 · Don't get me wrong, it's a great motor, but so are all the BMW straight 6s. If you were talking about the Euro M3 motor, that would be considerably more special. In short, M52 and S52 overheatings are pretty common, but only in BMWs that are driven by people who don't adhere to the preventive maintenance guidelines.
S52 vs S54 - BimmerFest BMW Forum
Dec 4, 2003 · I am considering upgrading from a S52 to a S54 M Coupe. I have heard many pros and cons about the two engines. I like my S52. It is strong, smooth, requires less maint. But it is only a single 2-phase VANOS. The engine is quite and the exhaust sounds nice. It has less top-end HP and a little less torque, at a lower 3800 RPMs.

S52 Boost Preparation - BimmerFest BMW Forum
Jan 16, 2018 · Comparing a 180k S52 to a 215k M52 is like comparing a 75 year old to a 78 year old. They're both old. You can buy an M52 long block for $500 or less, and since you were already planning on doing rods and and pistons anyway, mileage is not a factor since you will have to replace the crank and rod bearings.
