After 3 years of work, countless late nights, and a full nut-and-bolt rebuild, I finally finished transforming this BMW M52B28 into a 3.0L stroker using an M54B30 crankshaft. This is the full journey — machining, assembly, porting, tuning, and the first race day where the new engine is put to the test.
This build features:
🔧 Fully rebuilt M52 block sleeved with steel liners
🔧 M54B30 crankshaft conversion
🔧 New oversized pistons
🔧 High-compression setup
🔧 Aggressive cams
🔧 DIY ported & flowed cylinder head
🔧 New bearings, seals, rebuilt oil pump, sensors — everything refreshed
🔧 Custom race car installation
🔧 First start + troubleshooting
🔧 Full race footage with real-world challenges
The engine didn’t make it easy — from start-up issues to unexpected problems during the race — but that’s part of the story. If you’re interested in BMW stroker builds, M52 tuning, DIY performance engineering, or real track testing, this video delivers the full experience.
