[QUOTE="B33mEr, post: 574964, member: 13609"] Yup M54 block is made of aluminium as opposed to the S54 which is made from iron. S54 is basically a racing engine made for the streets hence the construction need to sturdier for longevity. The N52's block is made of magnesium hence it's the lightest inline six BMW ever made. Interestingly the the twin turbo N54 shares the same basic block of the M54's but that's about it really. [/QUOTE]
