2. Complete teardown with bore measurement (max 0.04mm wear tolerance per BMW TIS 11 31 130 for G30 540i) and crankshaft runout check (<0.03mm).
3. Replacement of B58-specific components: updated timing chain tensioner (11348612345), guide rails (11318612346), and Bosch HPFP (0445020123) per TIS 11 03 22.
4. For N55 engines (F10), wastegate actuator replaced with revised unit (11657612345) and VANOS solenoids updated to prevent cold-start rattle.
5. Post-rebuild dyno test verifying 340hp/500Nm output and smooth idle at 620rpm-specific to G30 540i ECU calibration.
6. 50-mile road validation checking for oil consumption (<0.3L/1000km), HPFP pressure stability (>2,000 bar), and VANOS response time (<120ms).
