Welcome to the channel!
I show you the most common failures I see at the dealership on BMW models as a whole. Anything that has a 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder made above 2017 will have one of these issues eventually!. Most mechanics/people miss it when inspecting. If you don't catch it early then it could lead to a break down. Every time you get service, have these items inspected!
water pump
turbo coolant lines
oil filter housing
heat management module
pass side engine mounts( 2 series, x1 and x2)
check these videos out if you want to know more info on these components
• BMW B58 & B48 Coolant ...
• BMW Engine vibration//...

I just replaced the Oil Filter housing on my Dad’s 118i M sport shadow edition ‘18, 1.5 or the B38 3 Cylinder. Was tempted to change the Plastic coolant pipe that bolts to the block, but they didn’t have one in stock. The Turbo Waste gate linkage is about to start rattling 😊. The dreaded Vanos ticking sound. They’re good engines just need addressing with up-rated parts if possible. P.S a mysterious intermittent EML and reduced power/drivetrain malfunction occurred, but went away after resetting the oil level AGAIN,

Re. F series BMW's, I can never understand why these "quality" cars are not fitted with a water temp guage....

Great video. I have and have worked on a few e90s and know all the failure points, but first time I have seen what I will soon be replacing on my 2017 430i with 48K miles. Should have some time left, but gives me a preview. I recently replaced the cylinder coolant return line under recall and while there BMW said I needed to replace my torsion struts, oil leaking from little plastic caps on the front of the engine, and also my fuel tank breather valve (I replaced all for $200 myself instead of $3000 quote by BMW). So far so good with only 48K miles, but this is what I get to look forward to. Thank you BMW.

That’s good you can do it yourself! Definitely saves you money! I should have DIY videos soon to help everyone out. Thanks for the comment!

I just dealt with the turbo coolant return line leak and upper radiator hose leak on a 2019 B48 X3 recently at 50k miles. Good to know that I will have to keep my eye on the oil filter housing and heat management module now.

Yeah, will fail most likely. Usual first sign of cracked oil filter housing in these cars is the oil cooler causing significant coolant loss while car is not running. But like.. 750ml overnight let’s say

Is there a solution to replace the oil filter housing with something more durable?

Aren’t the B58 pretty bullet proof? I’m thinking of getting on this weekend now I’m having second thoughts

@philbrutsche8928 4 күн бұрын

They are bullet proof. All of these problematic components are bolted on to the engine block. Oil leaks have been a BMW problem for decades (they have used crappy gaskets since the 1970s - or even earlier), but there is no excuse at all for water pump failures or critical plastic parts failing before 100k miles. There is also no valid reason for an aluminum coolant line to leak at a weld point at ANY mileage - whether that be 40k miles or 400k miles. Long gone are the days of a BMW lasting 200k miles with only basic maintenance

Is it save to assume these points also apply to the B38?

@TheTownTechnician8993 23 күн бұрын

Yes similar issues. Haven't seen too many of the b38s so not too much experience with them but that 3 cylinder is almost the same as the b48. Thanks for watching!

Ive been looking at a 2020 Mini Countryman JCW with the B48 engine. Are there aftermarket answers for any of these issues? Does BMW care about their reliability ratings at all? The only reason im considering a BMW product is the Mini showed up on a couple of most reliable lists. Im now thinking BMW must have paid them off.

You hit the nail on the head. Paid off
