Took a peek under the skirt

Terry335 · 05-19-2007, 02:31 PM

I was out playing around with the 335 and decided to pull the engine cover for a quick peek. It's damn ugly under there! Needless to say it was quickly reinstalled.

Those silver rods going across the top are the high pressure fuel lines......sweet. I luv that engine

I don't recall the N52 engine having so many wires under it. Maybe it's because of DI?

E90Fleet · 05-19-2007, 03:59 PM

N52 for comparason

Thanks to the member that posted these many moons ago

Must be

De90man · 05-19-2007, 06:44 PM

Frankenstein was ugly too but he sure was strong.

Jeff@Eurobahn.us · 05-19-2007, 08:14 PM

Guys they are different engines. Note the intake runners on the one with the metal cover. Also the little cylender which is the Valvetronic control unit on the non turbo.

Yes, as said in the threads, the one is a N54, the other is a N52 for comparason

I'd vote for, that all the current e9# 3 series engine bays and engines as amongst the most ugliest looking and untidy in layout of most manufacturers out there !!

But one forgets about appearance under a closed hood almost immediately once you squeeze the "GO" pedal.

Johnny Lin · 05-20-2007, 07:26 AM

I want a 335 engine on my E90 330I too.
