I’m trying to sum up what I just spent 10 minutes listening to and what I got out of it is the B58 is too new (fact check was out on 2016 models so well before 2019). Because it’s so new I’ve never put my hands on one but BMW has a history of this that and the other thing so you could be in for a rough ride but we just don’t know yet. Awesome... BMW has a history of problems going back for decades (timing belts popping on the M20, profile gaskets on M42, weak cooling parts on M52 and M54, emissions parts failures on the M57, leaky everything on the N62.). I’m limiting the list to cars with engines that I’ve owned and got my hands dirty on. Most of these issues started popping up fairly early on and were well documented on the forums or the Mike Miller’s of the world while you could still buy a new one. The B58 is now on its fifth year of production and from what I’m seeing online there is nothing that identifies a common trend for a major issue on this engine to date. Nothing. On the G30 forum the biggest recent complaint was that the 2021 configurator wasn’t live in July and the male Karen’s of the world couldn’t build a car they were eager to lease. Compare that to early years of the N54 and US M57. I was hoping this ten minute video would have a objective repair data, but it’s really click bait.

Look this is overblown. The radiator cap o-rings is a problem overtime but so is improper flush-fill of coolant at the assembly plant and service centers causing air gaps in the line which overtime makes it look like its drinking coolant. Sometimes the coolant tank under pressure developes leaks as well. The VANOS valves are redesigned and largely run by two magnetic actuators near the rear of the engine and is reachable. Oil filter disintegration usually happens because the mechanic is in a rush and yanks the filter out since its on an awkward angle.. its user-error and the fact people run too high on oil change intervals (BMW fault on interval recommendations). The only thing that is a potential problem is the gaskets and the expensive valve cover. THAT I am afraid of but that is a problem for any BMW not just the B58. Surprise: the B58 is a commendable reliable engine from BMW. It really is a gem.

@simonh870 Жыл бұрын
One emerging issue that is seen in the UK are rare cases of pistons losing pieces just below the ring lands. It is said to be caused by borewash due to injector failures. The pistons however don't usually looked to have picked up like you would expect from not having enough oil. Running the engine with damaged piston wrecks to coatings on the bores.

None of the problems he mentioned are really an issue. The valve cover thing you can easily just replace the PCV diaphragm for about 100 bucks, easy fix. The oil filter thing is not common at all. The B58 engine was thoroughly tested by Toyota engineers, and if you watch Savagegeese’s channel, they interviewed Toyota, and they said this engine passed Toyota’s rigorous testing reliably. All of these “major problems” are plain bloated out of proportion, cuz it’s a BMW.

I was unfortunate enough to have my oil filter disintegrate. Bmw accepted no responsibility and I'm left with pieces of the filter everywhere. £45.000 car

That‘s because of the oil filter. Don‘t buy oil filter from the brand „UFI“ they will destroy your engine. The Original Oil filter from BMW are the „UFI“ ones, a lot of engines were destroyed because of that poor quality oil filter .Buy the brand „MANN“ and you will never have that problem again.

The b58 engine can hold up to 700hp..so 60+ is nothing..keep your oil change up and check coolant every week…I went alittle thicker on oil because Ow20 is to thin..I went 0w40

Hi Nathan, just wanna ask do you read and respond to more of your comments than Dean does? I asked him a few things about maintaining amperage during coding and even asked if I could pay him to do me some coding on my car. But he doesnt really seem to read his comments lol or atleast he hasnt yet after afew days. Can I ask you the questions I had? (i live in uk so thought it would be better to ask him first lol but got no response) Love the videos, I think I've been subbed for a while but I always come to either you or Dean for problems with my BM which is like every other damn day lol. I really wanted a b58 but ended up with a n54 vert because I got a amazing deal on one in the UK but its mega unreliable lol and I wanted some coding and crap done to it. Thanks!

ok i got 3 minutes in and realised you dont know what youre on about, ive had 2 of the M240I with the B58 engine in the last 4 years not once did i have a problem with anything you said! I then thought "maybe i havent owned the car long enough" so i went and did some research and again even with the higher milage engined B58 they didnt show any of your problems you mentioned apart from the small amount of coolant loss. You need say time and wear in you vid at about 5mins but how would you know? youve already said in a round about manor that you will have to wait and see..Please do your research and stop talking shit!

My biggest concern with the B58 which was not mentioned in the video is that the timing chain and vanos are at the rear of the engine right against the firewall. BMW and Toyota must have some real faith in the timing chain with this engine. The vanos can still be serviced with special tools without dropping the engine.
@fastboatster4 жыл бұрын
Given that n54 has practically eternal timing chain due to how smooth the inline 6 engines are running i don't think its going to be a concern. But 4 cylinder b48 engine... P.S. bmw did have a few 6 cylinder diesel engines with timing chains in the back, they usually lasted long unlike on 4 cylinders. Usually, transmission is removed to replace the chain on these engines.

Great video Nathan. Why is it so. hard for BMW to prove engine design before selling them to the public? sndh
@GS-pk9rd3 жыл бұрын
Not really. The engine's been out over 5 years already so the design seems sound. Yeah there's potential for things to go wrong and time will tell but so far so good. Mine's been faultless in a 340i anyway.. Video seems rather speculative and poorly researched tbh.

Engine’s actually from model year 2016 not 2019 so its been out for a little while we haven’t really seen any B 58 engines with over 100,000 miles yet so it’s gonna be interesting to see how these cars hold up over time as much of a good rep for the most part the dissension has I have high expectations for other than the problems that you mentioned Nathan but good video

Drove an e90 325 i, sold and bout an b8 Audi a4. Bmw felt a lot better to drive. Looking at a 2016 340i with M performance package, just worried about mileage. It’s currently at 80k miles, is that too much on a b58?
@carboydorifutoparty39763 жыл бұрын
No. Should be fine as long as normal maintenance is done. Some people have even went past 80k already past that and say that haven't had any issues(one guy in one of the comment threads has 136k on their B58 with a tune and says he had no issues)and the issues he addressed in this video are all over the place are just not true at all so I'd rather not listen to the video since most of its false amd read some of the comments from some of the actual owmers or look threw some of the bimmer forums and look threw it yourself case you have any concerns on issues occurring but other than that it should be fine as long as normal maintenance is done.
