The R35 Motor The R35 Motor for the M52TU and M54 motors is the 6th iteration of one of our most successful motors to date. In this version, the aluminium block posed new challenges that were brilliantly resolved by our engineering
Tech Talk
staff. The result is a block that is machined to its absolute limit, then sleeved with a unique design sleeve that maintains the original rigidity and does not allow the bores to ”pump”.
R35 Motor (Step 6)
The long stroke billet crankshaft is connected to six Formula 1 style forged pistons with ultra-lightweight wrist pins through six H-section connecting rods. The R35 packs more technical gadgetry than most racing engines
The R35 Motor is the largest displacement motor built on the BMW M52/M54 platform available to date. As all R Motors, it is sold as an exchange unit for your motor, or as a complete motor ready to go. The R35 packs a punch that is equivalent to that of a small V8, and gives your BMW the kind of acceleration that leaves you gasping for air. Its third gear progression is fantastic, and always leaves you wandering why didn’t you know about it sooner. The massive torque of the Step 6 make this motor unsuitable with current automatic transmissions fitted on the 3 Series, therefore we are only offering it for manual transmission models. All R35 Motors come with a 2 year 50.000 Km. limited warranty.

As any sport driver knows, having massive amounts of torque is great for acceleration, but it creates all sorts of strains on the original clutch.
to ensure it will set your BMW in front of the pack.

Power System The Power Systems for the various 3 Series motors are perfect entry-level performance options that give the driving enthusiast a fully-tested and proven performance platform. The Racing Dynamics Power Systems include new camshafts with higher lift and duration, which are then matched to a performance Sport Exhaust, which is designed to reduce exhaust back pressure at the higher engine speed that the upgraded motor is designed to reach. The final and most important component of the Power System is the Engine Management Software (EMS) which optimizes the operation of the variable cam timing (VANOS), increases the fuel rate by increasing the injector pulse, and advances the ignition timing for crisper engine response. It also removes the speed limiters and resets the engine speed limiter to 7400 RPM, allowing motor to make full use of the new camshaft profiles. It is within this extended range that the Power System generates its maximum horsepower gains.
Sport Sound Intake System The Racing Dynamics Sport Sound Intake System is a complete replacement of the original BMW filter unit and increases intake flow by utilizing a Dacron® air filter. The Carbonfiber cone creates a RAM effect that creates positive air pressure around the filtration element, thus improving engine performance. Sport Sound Intake System for 320i-330i
