M54B22 rebuild — M54 rings or M52TU oil-control rings?
I'm going to rebuild my M54B22 and I'm trying to decide which piston ring setup to use.
From what I've read, you can use the M54 compression rings together with the M52TU oil-control rings, which supposedly have a better design and can help with the M54's oil consumption.
Has anyone here actually rebuilt an M54 using the M52TU oil-control rings? Would you recommend this setup over just using the updated M54 rings?
I'd especially like to hear from anyone with long-term experience with either setup. What would you choose for a rebuild?

ANOMALÍA ELECTRÓNICA TURBO BMW 530D E60
Hola! Es la primera vez que uso Reddit para preguntar algo pero quisiera ver si alguien puede ayudarme o sabe de algún caso así.
Tengo un BMW 530d E60 del 2005, va todo perfecto pero me ha pasado ya varias veces que sobre todo después de viajes largos en autopista el turbo se desactiva, aceleras hasta 4000rpm y el coche no acelera casi, lo que me lleva a pensar que es algo del turbo, LO CURIOSO, es que apagando el motor y arrancándolo se arregla completamente y ya ese día no vuelve a pasar, no hay tirones ni humo ni nada raro después todo va perfecto lo que me lleva a pensar que puede ser el actuador del turbo. De hecho en alguna ocasión lo he arreglado en marcha poniendo el modo crucero y quintándolo, otras veces esto no ha funcionado ¿podría ayudarme alguien con este tema?
Actualización: una cosa importante que no he comentado, esque solo me ha pasado en exactamente el mismo punto del mismo tramo al volver de mi centro de trabajo, es un tramo de curvas cuesta arriba por una montaña con una subida de unos 250 metros hasta arriba de una meseta, puede tener que ver con la carga del turbo? O incluso con la presión del aire?

Finally got the wiring and optic cables fixed!!!
What a NIGHTMARE!!! I bought this car for next to nothing, $600 (2009 BMW 528ix). When I first got it, I could start it, but it wouldn’t shift out of park.
I researched several E60 forums, and got a few ideas. Started with the wiring behind the driver’s seat. Found some ground wires and a power wire had melted together. Upon further inspection, I found multiple wires had been lying in water under the carpet/padding.
Repaired wires, essentially by removing every wire that was under the carpet, up to the dash and just about 12” into the dash. All of the ground wires were shorted by the wires that the wire insulation had “cracked” and allowed the water ingress. Several wires later, I’m just about back to good.
I still have two warnings- one for the “4x4” all wheel drive, and one for the adaptive headlights. Right now, I have got to get all of the wire harnesses back together and get the dash back together. Once I do that, I will be able to get the computer on it and see where the issues remain with those two issues.
I’m sure I am not the only one that has had to get through this, so it anyone has any ideas has to where to start looking for the “4x4” issues, I would greatly appreciate it.
I have attached pics of where I am, as this is where the fun begins to reassemble the wiring harnesses.

No expansion tank level
I can't figure out how to check the fluid level in my expansion tank—is something missing?
