There is a mod called MILV's which stands for modified intake lift valves, and it goes underneath the springs in the valvetronic to increase valve lift from 9.9mm to 11mm I believe. This means about 10 to 15 wheel hp gains. This is a pretty popular mod that goes a long way in increasing n52 power. Great video, super helpful with straightforward content 👍👍

How do you do that? How do you tell someone to do that lmao

[@L-Noble.YT_Hi.Res-Soundminds]

Yeah the milvs give more intake valve lift. Simply car things don't worry will tell you all the secrets because we are family now. Lol. Oh did you know the icing on the cake is not the engine tune but to supercharged it to 300+ whp with the ess kit.😁 also the n54 manifold swap has more torque than the 330i and flows more on the top end too. So it's a popular option. The thing about the 3 stage is the disa valves are not that reliable.

[@driftfits]

I remember the MILVS being a thing on bimmerpost awhile ago, was always debating it but figured it wasn’t worth it to try and pull power from the N52. If someone is going to install the MILVS and hasn’t messed with their car before, take it somewhere lol I hate getting cars in that someone tried to do something themselves only to where I have to work on a mess they made that would have been done right if they took it to someone who knew what they were doing. It’s a simple install but when some people can hardly do their brakes, I don’t have much faith in the majority of people do do MILVS

[@alexandert4252]

A lot of people can start by making sure their 2 or 3-stage manifold actually works. Most of the time after 100000 the Disa valve get's stuck (actually oil getting into it's motor and it becomes "weak") and no longer closes which reduces power at lower RPS (because DISAs are designed to be CLOSED by default and only opening at certain RPM) and no error ever tell the owner about it. As for mods - most of european versions already have it including 3-stage and different air intake/filter so one can find used EU car/parts to retrofit it.

[@rileyjoslyn5458]

Just replaced the DISA valves on my E90 330i and it made a world of difference in low rpms.

Buying an 06 N52 330i was probably one of the best car purchasing decisions i have ever made. This car just glides so well around windy roads. Always feels planted to the ground and although it seems quiet inside i have heard it from the outside driving past and it sounds great!

[@TheWallBeyond]

I have a 125i (EU Spec) in Argentina that I use as a track car. I started out with the 218hp, mapped to 130i spec, to the alleged 265/272hp Bimmerlabs maps. I have the "euro intake" and DISA valves from factory, I added a Turner Silicone Hose and BMC filter to make the intake a bit more free flowing, and then bought the MILVS kit and had Jim at Kassel Performance do a remote tune. We probably did 40/50 dyno runs, he was very helpful to get the straightest possible torque curve as there was a dip at about 3.5k. We managed 233whp without headers. That's why I said allegedly 265hp... I now have custom race headers and full exhaust as its now a dedicated track car. I'll dyno the car soon, and then play with the compression ratio by modifying the head gasket. We'll see what is pulls, but gaining 70whp reallistically isn't that easy in N52's. An ESS supercharger adds another 70whp but I don't think its worth the 5/6k plus labor costs.

I run an N52 in my e86 endurance car and these upgrades with the correct tune is about 258 whp. I have tested EPIC motorsports, Activewerks and Kassel Performances tune and Kassel's was the most aggressive to get to the max number with an average delivering 255 whp, Epic's is a more conservative and better for daily driving and Activewerks was the latter delivering more power in the lower and less at the top end. If you really want to put the power down, I would suggest upgrading the differential gearing ratio to 3.73 and a light weight flywheel for maximum performance.

[@L-Noble.YT_Hi.Res-Soundminds]

I know what your talking about. That engine did not handle 25 psi for long, the connecting rod failed and the engine blew. At 19 psi is where the owner advised that you need head studs because the head was starting to lif up from the block. So please dont exaggerate the facts and tell people the n52 will run 25 psi like it's a beast. There's a limit to everything. Anyways I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it , just telling the facts. To run that pressure you need upgraded head studs head gasket and stronger rods and pinstons.

what can be done with the N51b30? Greetings from Russia

[@eliemoussa1]

Does this work on the 523i 2011 F10?

[@mac3490]

Someone pls help! Which engine do I have? It's a 2008 E90 325i SE, 3.0 petrol in line, in the UK, with 218bhp. Do I have the N52 engine? Thank you

[@dlo__3929]

Are these reliable bro? I been thinking about getita n52 as a another project.

[@tonka10r99]

Watch BMW Doctor's videos on the N52, should be a pretty solid engine

[@Tracked350Z]

These are great. I have an N52 with 200k miles. No oil leaks, no issues, etc.

First of ALL I would like to say thanks about this video. Could write down the five steps and do you have some dyno Graph ? I come from Brazil and I going to do It as well. Thanks one more time

[@SimplyCarThings]

You're welcome thanks for watching! I am working on writing a blog article to this video which will be written on my website. simplycarthings.co

[@felipebarcellos1610]

But did check on dyno How much whp ?

I'd like to do the intake mod, as I originally wanted a 330xi, but all the deals fell through and I ended up with a lovely 328xi. Sure, I'd love a 335, but am maybe a bit too concerned about reliability and affordability with the maintenance. A bit more power would be nice though. Do you happen to know what the other 330 difference are? I'm pretty sure 330 and 335 actually get better fuel economy, so maybe there is some gearing difference too. If that's in the final drive ratio, maybe that could be swapped with relative ease? Anyway, one thing I like about my 328 over the 330 and 335, is NO CHROME (well, except for the grill while I'll replace at some point). I HATE chrome.

My 328xi at 430.000km - lovely machine

do all 328i e90 or e92 have port injection (no direct injection? )no matter of year?

[@SimplyCarThings]

Yep all of them have PI

[@maxwellbrown2584]

If you're bored and need another video I've got a DCT 335is with vrsf downpipes, intake, and an e30 mhd stage 2 tune. Mineral white on red. She's a looker. You can take it for a spin. I'm down in San Diego.

[@JarrettNorman]

I could use some clarification, I have the N51(52) does this I already have the 3 stage intake and mean all i have to do is tune the car? Cause i got a little confused???

[@Frostye92]

from my understanding yea. it would be good if you bought some after market parts though such as a cold air intake filter

[@SamBao]

I've also heard people putting European 320si differentials on their cars, it'll be a trade off between acceleration and top speed. not exactly horse power gains

[@johannjohann6523]

Good video. But there are "HP" gains, and there are "speed" gains, simply going faster on the road. And if you wish to go faster, and not just in a straight line, suspension upgrades are a nice way to go. You will be able to better utilize the HP your engine creates. However, I do know that this is not necessarily a cheap and budget friendly modification for your car, but will not only provide for a faster vehicle (especially in the turns), but one that stops quicker, and is safer all around as well. Stopping ability isn't just pads and calipers, but also tires and suspension add to the vehicles braking capability. And if you can afford it, adding M3 suspension parts are a good way to go for your M52 vehicle.
