Thanks, I’ll take a look at the settings and see why the resolution is low.

I know that if you are looking for top fuel efficiency then the 530i B46/48 is your best bet but if you’re looking for similar fuel economy with more power then the 540i is your best bet. I’m happy with my 530. Unless you plan on tuning your 530i of course which can be easily done (can make it quicker than a stock 540i) with some down pipe, tuning, exhaust, etc..

Yes I am struggeling bro. Deff gonna mod the g30 but idk, if the 540i has little less fuel economy​ its no brainer for me. But if the 540i is much more thirsty I get the 530i @@lifeonautosofficial

I believe the 2008 328i came with a 3.0 inline 6 cylinder. I don’t know much about the older ones to be honest.

​@@lifeonautosofficial okay thanks for getting back to me

2020 on up

@@anjdog2003 why is that? curious

2017 was the 1st year. Do not buy, 2018 and up.

@@PeakUnlimitedwhy not 2017?

I haven’t heard anyone complain about a B48 before or having problems, besides maybe some carbon buildup. I have personally never experienced that tho! I have a friend with the X2 which is a different variant B48 than the 530i and it’s been trouble free.

@@lifeonautosofficial Great!

Sweet!

Uh.... ZF automatic and Getrag manual transmission are PROVEN to be reliable. Period. Have you ever heard about major recalls or failures? Drivetrain on BMWs right now is as best as it gets tbh. Especially considering that it is a turbo engine. Electronic is also fine. It doesn't have a trash soybean wires like GM or ford. Bmw has always been above average in terms of reliability even when 4 cyl (N26) engines had problems. And V8 and V10 engines never was their main product. And wasn't supposed to be reliable

@@dust_gale3108 suspension issues at 70-100k ( full rebuild age ) will be about 2-3k oil pumps issues very common 1k fuel pump( high and low pressure guaranteed to fail in lifetime ) failures 1.5k same old oil filter housing issues ( happens in all models without fail ) 3k same motor mount issues ( 100% chance due to the design ) 1.5k same head gasket issues… again near 100% chance to happen due to the soft gasket and heat cycling 3k It’s all public information and very well documented. Great engine but the rest of the car is still German engineering unfortunately :( but great car for the most part just have around 10k to do some of the maintenance items listed above in the vehicles lifetime.

Go document all of that on a G20/B46 (using correct engine code here) platform please. I'm interested to see it and avoid buying one. Sounds horrible.

@@MyDailyPerspective All of this is public information you can find it all in the BMW forums it’s not rocket science.

Hey that’s cool. Hope you’re enjoying the new G60!! I have not had any issues with it but I also drive my car like I stole it in hopes that it doesn’t have time to get carbon build up. Lol!

@lifeonautos8206 it really is a great engine. It's suppose to be very reliable . Have you thought about a catch can ? That should really help. I just can find one for my car 2024 g60 530i... if you decide to put a can. Would be nice to do a video on that.

@ericsivilla4091 great idea! Yes I’ve thought about it but I’m trying to stick to simple power gain mods right now, lol and then will chip away at the other stuff!

@ericsivilla4091 125k km of excellent reliability and zero check engine lights!

@lifeonautos8206 do you know what they have done to this engine to prevent the gdi carbon build up, or do you still have to do walnut blasting every 50k

Nice!!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. I love my car. Definitely plans for cold air intake, charge pipe, and tune with some nice burbles.

How did you blow the N55?

@@andresmc210 my mechanic said, i drove to much short distances, so the engine and also the oil could never really reach the temperature they need. the next thing is, you never know what the preowner did to their car, i bought my E92 used, when it was 7 years old and my mechanic also mentioned that it always felt like the engine was running odd. a thing that is also odd is, that i drove the same route to work for over 10 years with a 1996 BMW E36 328i and never had such issues. i am very curious what excactly happened... and now finally the engine get´s swapped, it took much time to find a decent used engine, since i did not want to buy a new one from BMW. edit: my E92 made trouble from the very beginning, after buying it and on the way home the enige light came on and it ran only in limp mode... back home and after a visit at my mechanic´s place he figured out the injectors where severly damaged and that i got scammed... i sued (and i won, btw.) the car dealer and kept the E92 afterwards. but still after 4 years the trouble started to get even worse...

@@lifeonautosofficial sonds nice, sorry for the late response... i think i´m going to sell my E92, after the engine is swapped and get my hands on a F30 or G30 with a B48 inside.

@@Smiley575 Thanks for the explanation, sorry about that. What was the mileage when it blew?

That’s not good!! I hear that the VANOS on these cars may go bad in rare cases.

Go to a dealer

Go to the reputable bimmer shop .

@@lifeonautosofficial the solenoid valve that screws into the vanos had a broken screen

@@Eminetics the solenoid valve that screws into the vanos had a broken screen

N20 is not crap. First iterations had problems with timing chain but older models 2015 and up it got solved. N20 is good but B48 is more reliable and has better internals and less prone to problems. Especially if you want to tune it, stage 2 or higher you can run it no Problem.

The N20 is great! I’ve heard of a few that had issues with timing chain but it was resolved and the N20 has since been bulletproof.

N20 is a bit jiggly and vibrates more but doesn't really matter.

N20 after 2015 is very reliable

That’s awesome! That’s a win win!

Yup exactly. Lol

Thanks, only thing with the 5 cylinder now is the RS3! 2.5T

Sorry to hear you’re having issues with it. Cars are a pain sometimes. Wishing you good luck going forward with it. Hopefully once this issue is cleared up you’ll be good for a while!!

Exactly! If Toyota is using them, then you know it’s a good powertrain!

Agreed

What do you mean by shorter intervals

@@GrandMasterPurp currently BMW allows engines to run 20000km between oil changes which I think is too long. I think oil changes every 8000 to 10000 km should be done.

100% got an oil change for my G20 330i and the reset interval was 1 year or 14,000km. Couldn’t believe how dumb that interval was

@@justindaniel5959thank you got any recommendations for oil

That's not bad really. Ever 5-6 years approximately. But you can get an aluminium one that doesn't crack at all ... Idk

I got a 2018 G30 530i also with the b46 engine, it's about to hit 100k miles. Keep an eye on your coolant level when you hit 80k miles, I replaced the radiator and most of the coolant hoses due to coolant leaks.

@@charleschen8146 thanks, will do ! Have you tuned your car?

@vytautaskryzius2556 not yet!! It’s getting tuned soon!

@@vytautaskryzius2556 I have not, the car is completely stock. I do have to say tho, I wish G30 have more aftermarket parts like the F platform, like I noticed a lot of these plastic hoses could be handled in a different way but BMW decided to go with plastic instead of metal. It’s like they’re designed to fail. But overall the car has been pretty reliable besides coolant leakages.

@charleschen8146 yes I can agree as well. There are definitely things I like more about the G30 platform but miss from the previous F10!

Hey, I average 6km on a full charge and that’s through forest terrain. Lots of rocks, branches, etc… this one has approximately 350km on it.

Hey Jaipal! Greatly appreciate the comment and support! Our XC90 has 130k km’s on it right now with a 3000km road trip planned for this summer. I’ve just kept up with oil changes every 10,000km now that I do it myself and that it’s out of warranty. I wouldn’t be concerned with the mileage, especially with the fact that you have service records! I would say go for it! The only thing I’ve needed done recently is the accessory battery up front under the hood which powers the auto start stop system. very minor thing. Besides that I did spark plugs last year myself as it was a very easy job and wanted peace of mind. If it helps, I’ve actually seen a 2016 XC90 t6 with 365k km on autotrader a few years back. It goes to show that if you take care of it, it will take care of you in return. I’d take the XC90 any day over a BMW/audi SUV. There seems to be less Volvos on the road and in my opinion it’s one of the best looking SUV’s on the market today. The body-style doesn’t seem to age!

Congrats! That’s so awesome. The GTS 4.0 is amazing

Im #4, expected to get it next march 2025.

@@lifeonautosofficial as luck would have it, I came across a 2021 Spyder with 2000 miles at my local dealer. I bought that instead and simply love it!

LMAO N63 owners.

I have 550i it’s one of the best cars I ever owned and trust me when I say one of the best cars I owned because I am car guy I have owned a lot of cool cars. I did valve seal job coolant hoses vacuum hoses. Now car is performing better than 95% of cars that you can go and buy new. 👍🏻

This is the factory “sports performance exhaust”. The valves are open and the car is in sport mode!

@@lifeonautosofficial sounds awesome!

@thefrozenwalker thanks!! I think so too

Lol...ok. It just be a great engine because Toyota puts it in their Supra.

As well as 2JZ disagrees about S58. But time goes on

It’s not normally aspirated it’s a twin scroll turbo

B48 and B58 seems to be quite robust, I don't know about the B38. I've had G30 530e -17 for over three years now and it only needed regular maintence, but I changed the 8HP oil and filter just in case and cleaned&filled the connector on high voltage battery housing (common problem, stupid engineering). Next year I'll sell the car before high voltage battery dies. In my contry the EV's and Hybrids doesn't have much extra tax on the price, but NA cars has a lot --> E.g. G20 330e xDrive 60k€ G20 M340i xDrive 96k€ G60 550e Xdrive 90k€.

😂 still bmw junk

Sure, can make that happen!!
