Autopilot disengages when pilot pushes on the sidestick harder than a certain threshold, furthermore in normal law with all protections available the AP will disconnect if bank angle is greater than 45.
Both flight directors are removed when the aircraft bank angle exceeds 45.
(Almost quote from FCOM). So bank angle of 54 may only be achieved without both AP and FD.
