Maybe it’s a M54?
M54 engine then.
I’d say it’s worthwhile. Even if yours does work perfectly, they’re a known weakness. A small cost outlay for a bit of preventative maintenance. Won’t ever need to touch it again after, as they don’t fail, so you’ve not got to worry about it ever again

This. I put a new updated Disa valve kit on my 3.0 SE which wasn’t showing any signs of issues. When I took the original off the pin was all but about to fall out into the intake chamber. Dodged a bullet for sure. £60 for a kit that’s a doodle to fit.....why wouldn’t you...?

I used i6 automotive. I'm sure a few years ago X8R didn't exist. But essentially they're the same thing, get whatever is cheaper

On mine, I removed the orange seal so the black one had a groove to sit. The orange one will probably be flush now with the rest of the housing, so you really want to remove the old orange stuff first.
