IS THE BMW 440i RELIABLE? || B58 100k MILE REVIEW
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2024
- Welcome back to the channel everyone! Thanks for joining me. Today marks the 1 year anniversary since I bought my 2017 bmw 440i. And it’s also about to hit 100k miles. So I wanted to do a reliability update. And in a future video I’ll do a full 1 year review.
Thankfully, the car has held up amazingly well! It’s been a joy to own for the year that I’ve had it. I’ll break down the good and the bad during this video.
Also, congrats to the winner of my 1k subscriber giveaway! @AustinMufasa
And thank you to anyone who participated. Better luck next time!

These cars are such units! We bought ours around the same time and im rolling over 60k miles still a blast to drive and no issues at all.
Nice! I’m sure you’re glad to know you have many more care free miles to come 💪🏻
@@beaterbeemer437 on xdrive how is it? any issues? And what set up/tires sizes you have?
Just came across your channel the other day while I’ve been shopping around for a 340-440i over the past few weeks. love your content that I’ve seen so far and you have me just about sold on the 440 now keep it up bro 🤙🏻
Thanks for the support! Love to hear people actually enjoy my content.. lol. Sorry I haven’t posted much lately. You know how life goes. I hope to start posting a lot more soon. Stay tuned!
Clean 440i bro! I also went from an N55 to B58. It is for sure an upgrade. I never had any major issues with my N55. I think it depends on the previous owners imo
Thank you! I was worried that the B58 wouldn’t be enough of an upgrade but I was pleasantly surprised. And I think you’re right about that man
N55 is a nightmare lol
@@bmwbbNkiller like I said, it depends on the previous owners. Wasn't a nightmare for me
N55's EWG are not bad, but the b58 is for sure a bit more reliable.
@@beaterbeemeru sure it was n55 because n55 only came out in 2013 BMWs
LOL this guy. I watched his previous 440i reviews. Typed in 440i today and found this video.
Glad you kept the car and are still enjoying it :)
Every day with it has been a joy! Glad you’re enjoying the videos 😂
Just love this review, Just bought a 2018 440i coupe and as a BMW addict
feel is the best i have owned. {seven previose all new} I live in the UK and have read every review on this car. Yours is the best !!!!
Thanks for the feedback! It means a lot. I totally agree the 440 is something special. I haven’t owned as many as you but I think it will be hard to overcome how much I love this car. I would like to get into an F82 M4 next and see how they truly compare. Enjoy your ride, Cheers!
Great video and I love the exterior mods you've done! I'm the original owner of a mineral white metallic (nice color btw:)) 2018 M240i X-drive which now has about 36,000 miles and it's encouraging to see your higher mileage B58 holding up so well. Last year once the warranty expired, I installed a CTS Turbo catted downpipe, MHD stage 2 tune, and an Xhp stage 2 transmission tune and I love the performance boost all of that has made! It is my daily driver and the only issue was the check engine light kept coming on intermittently. It turned out to be a slight leak where the turbo flange and downpipe connect and despite thinking I had installed everything correctly, (including a new gasket), I was wrong! It hasn't given me any issues since so you might want to double-check that first before taking your car to a shop where a "mechanic" misdiagnoses the issue as a faulty rear (after cat) 02 sensor. Had I agreed to the "repair", I would have wasted a few hundred bucks "fixing" the issue to no avail, but that's a whole different story for another day.
This video really helps me out brother! I’ve been eager to buy a 2019 440i and I plan to getting it in a few months. I’m also from the DC Maryland area and there isn’t really 440’s around nor on the internet, I think it’s a very underrated car with a decently good power potential
Glad you liked it thanks for the support! Just keep holding out bro and if one pops up suddenly don’t impulse buy it ya know. Make sure it’s the one for you or keep waiting if you can. I personally searched a couple months before I found mine and drove 3 hours to get it. 2019 will be nice though! Let me get those headlights 😬
Appreciate the giveaway and can’t believe I won!🔥 Great video, super informative about the FCP Euro! I’ll definitely check them out and keep that in mind!
Can’t win unless you play, right? Haha. Congrats again man. Hope you enjoy them and thanks for the support!
Congrats
Loving my 2017 F36 XDrive. Just turned 150,000km the other day. Outside of normal wear and tear items, the only issue I've had with the car is a dash light for a passenger airbag fault (which to be honest...I haven't been able to track down yet) and the original battery is finally calling uncle. Otherwise....rock sold. Tons of power, great on fuel, great driving. Best vehicle I've ever owned.
Sorry I just saw this. Thanks for the comment! Glad to hear another case of a solid B58. I too have an airbag fault lol. But my e90 335i had the same fault! Must be a bmw thing..
Thoroughly pleased with my M40i
Great review
Just grabbed a 2023 m440i xdrive last month. Love it, absolute beast of a car.
Sorry I just saw this! I bet that m440 is a beast. With the B58Tu you can run e85 no problem. Enjoy the free extra 70+ horsepower!
i mean it better be for that price lol
Great video - I had a 2015 435 GC and now a 2019 440i GC which I bought new off the showroom floor. My 440i GC only has 35k miles but it’s been great, I bought it in October 2018 and have driven it daily ever since. I’ve never had any mechanical problems with the car or my B58. I love the car, I wish I had known about PPF back in 2018, I absolutely would’ve done PPF as the rock chips drive me crazy, it’s the only downside to my vehicle, everything else is mint😊🙏🏽
Why choose the 440i GC over the 340i?
Sorry I just saw this. Thanks for the comment! The 4 series is the sweet spot am I right? These cars are just perfect. I too have a ton of rock chips and wish I had PPF’d but I’ve decided I won’t worry so much if it’s my daily driver
@@plamendobrev5416 for one thing. The GC is actually a hatchback. That may be the deciding factor? 4 series also may be a tad bit more spacey
@@plamendobrev5416 the GC looks a lot nicer than the 3 (lower and wider), has way more legroom in the front (seats are mounted in the same spot as the 4 coupe), easier to load larger items though the hatch, and there are no height obstructions from the tunnel when the seats are folded down. I have never used the back seat for people, so I was happy to trade rear legroom for front leg room. If it weren't for the hatch, I would have gotten the coupe. A coupe with the hatch is the dream.
Impressive information regarding purchases through fcpa ? Thank you for your valuable bmw information ! It’s sounds like you’re pretty fortunate with the 2017 model 🤩
I went from a F32 440 M sport to a G42 M240xi this past August. Not gonna lie I do sometimes miss the 440 due to the fact that it was gray and way easier to keep clean. The thundernight metallic on the M240 is nice but a pain to maintain. My 440 was a 2018 and had 43k miles on it when I sold it. Only mods I had was a a inlet and intake pipe, BM3 Stage 1 93 tune, carbon fiber spoiler, calipers painted black, and black M style kidney grills(like you have). Car was bullet proof and gave me zero issues, not even coolant loss.
And it's funny cause initially I also went from a 11 E92 335xi (N55) to a F32 440xi.
That’s awesome to hear. Sounds like we’ve had similar bmw journeys! How are you liking the M240 other than that? Better than the 440? I can’t deny it’s lighter but with the mods I have, the 440 is so fast. And has tons of room to get faster and I really don’t feel like “man, I wish I was in a lighter car”. But for some folks it’s 240 or bust 🤷🏻♂️
@@beaterbeemer It's a great little car. It's quicker than my old stage 1 BM3 tuned 440. In sports plus that thing takes off like a rocked and that's without launch control. Coming back from my night shift this morning I took off at a light and even with my winter tires and 18s on, that thing flew . Oh and anyone with a G42 M240 wondering, the 18in Style 796M winter setup will fit over the large red calipers.
Thank you so much for great content!! I just bought my 2018 BMW 440i Xdrive and i love it, i cant wait to tune it and add downpipe for sound, plus more things to come, i hope you keep this car for a while. Subscribed to your cannel and can't wait for more content. Thank you!!! edit: What size are your tires?? front and back
Thanks for the support! Glad you enjoy it. I’m hoping to start posting more frequently again soon. Congrats on the pickup! The B58 will never get old you’ll just love it more as you mod it. My wheels are 255/35/19 all around. Pretty sure xdrive likes a square setup 👍🏻
160k on my M57 pushing 50% over stock power levels. Runs stong and sounds like a cummins truck. B58 will be my next car in a 3-4 year old 540i. They seem to depreciate super fast.
There’s not much reason to get a 5 series unless you have a family and want a more practical option. 540s are great but if you want to build a b58 and get that sporty feeling 3 series is the only way imo
Cummins truck? Giggity.
I am around 93,000 miles and it has been rock solid. I am lowkey kinda waiting for something to happen but she is strong.
Same here man, I’m about to hit 101k and I plan to take it to a shop for a full inspection at least
@@chrome-chan9914crazy reliable
How is it going?
@@ooreplayss1588 about 100,000 mile now. All good
For anyone looking at a B58, my 2¢. Similar boat here. My 2018 340i is at 95k now. About 55k of those miles are stage 2+ with flex fuel. Starting to think about letting her retire back to stock daily for a G82. The only issues I ever had were
1. Coolant cap (B58 issue)
2. Parking brake clip (F series BMW issue in general, not just B58)
3. PCV replacement (B58 issue)
Not saying this platform is bulletproof like a toyota corolla that you can beat on for 50k before changing the oil, there are still common issues, but they are so isolated, minor and easy to diagnose/fix compared to other platforms.
It still ISN’T a headache free car for your average joe, but if you do just a little bit of research before buying this or any car, then it is 100% worth it. Of course it’s no corolla or mazda3, but it’s damn near as reliable with incomparablely more power and fun per gallon.
Is there any year to avoid? I’m looking at a 2017 440i GC for 16k w 80k miles.
@@jaysrt21 Not really they’re all the same. The only thing that I heard on the forums, take this with a huge grain of salt, is that the late 2017 and all 2018 models have revised fuel injectors that are supposedly better and have less failures. I’d still replace them every 60k miles just for regular maintenance though
70k on my m240i so far, me personally havnt had any issues but the previous owner told me there was alot of smoke from exhaust turned out to be pcv and bmw replaced the valve cover at around 56k miles, also he said it had an exhaust rattle bmw replaced the valve at around 60k miles, those were the only problems with this car atleast, still strong doe as of now no major issues
Nice! Love to hear it. I’ve got the exhaust rattle too, but just unplugged the valve to get rid of it and never actually fixed haha. My pcv has been good as far as I know but we now have an extended warranty on that which is nice
I just turned 76,000 miles on my 2019 440i Gran Coupe. It's tuned with about 10k worth of all the right goodies to get it to 425hp. Zero issues. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the tires. I run Michelin Pilot Sport 4s, while simply amazing tires, they only last about 7 months. I'm on my third set and it's not cheap.
FWIW, I've driven Toyotas since day one, when I was 16 back in 1993. I never loved any of my cars...they were just okay and a means of transportation. But b/c the Supra shares the B58, I felt comfortable pulling the trigger on the BMW. Nearly 5 years in and I still love driving my 440i. It's just a badass car that gets great mileage in eco mode on the freeway and can light up just about any car short of a Porsche or supercar. It's nice to have serious power on tap when needed. Just a joy to drive.
Thanks for commenting, very well put. 5 years of ownership! You should be doing this review, haha. I bet you know a lot about this platform. I switched to Continental DWS all seasons which market as “ultra high performance all season” and it’s been good. Summer compounds are great though. Glad a BMW is what gave you that love for cars in the end 😂
@@beaterbeemerhaha. Yeah, after 5 years, I suppose I could give my two cents on at least the 440i. I think it's the best looking hatchback that doesn't look like a hatchback, on the road...big enough to haul all my guitar and bass amps with the seats folded down.
I got 115k miles still drives like when it had 200 miles only thing I’ve done was oil change obviously and struts other than that car runs beautiful 2017 440i F36
I had a 435 with 80k miles, only thing messed up was the charge pipe. I got a 440i with 107k miles the only thing so far has been the oil filter housing and radiator. Total of $3062, not too bad.
i had the same problem with my 340i! i Did it myself so i only paid 500 for my oil filter housing. Had to remove the dme and intake manifold, chargepipe and intake it was scary! Thankfully everything went well, i even changed a lot of gaskets to future proof!
Sorry for the late reply.. thanks for commenting! Good to know to look out for those things. Knock on wood I haven’t had any of those issues
I run kw v2s on a rwd 240i and I still get the chassis code. Thanks for the info, we have almost the exact same car (I'm 240 with b58 with kws and gts tails), I also have emissions this Dec and can't decide on a tune until then lol. Take Care
Haha nice we’ve had a similar journey. Thanks for showing me the chassis code isn’t just an xdrive thing. Thought for sure it was xdrive related. You’re saying it might be a coilover thing 🤔
bro ive got a b58 with 170k on it and it still runs decents ive had to replace hoses but internally the engine is sound after routine oil changes and no extreme mods
I had a 2017 440i loved the car it was great had no issues except when I sold it and I had mines at 29k and I sold it at 41k I will say there are some issues starting to pop up with them nothing really major but I will say if left not fixed it can lead to major issues one I’ve seen a lot with these first gen and the pvc caps they tend to fail quite a bit and they start causing major like issues but not really they cause the car to have uneven idle and horrible noise from the engine bay like a broken turbo and horrible smoke from the exhaust but it’s a very easy fix it’s just needs a replacement pcv cap cause the factory ones fail over time due to heat or wear and it’s just a rubber piece that breaks which I’m still confused on why such a cap can cause such major like problems but can be fixed easily. So watch out on that and second the turbo on these first gen b58 turbos it’s like a 50/50 some can last forever some can start leaking early on and I’ve seen it personally on some of my buddy’s b58 that they start leaking at 40k miles and break super easily and it may be due to the tunes they’ve done or boost these gen 1 turbos don’t hold up well over time they can hold boost pretty well but over time I’ve seen them start leaking or blow but I don’t know if that’s for everyone so watch out on these cars I’m not saying they will break but I’m just saying it’s a 50/50. AND DONT DO PIGGY BACK TUNES they start causing some problems with cars more related to fuel some piggyback tunes are great but some can cause major issues over time from what I’ve heard. And one other thing the crankcase they tend to break a lot or start cracking and they can lead to very major problems but if you can catch it very early one you should be good and it’s just a hose that’s on the front and it’s like 100$ to change but mines was starting to go out and I had my check engine light on and just go out and sometimes go in limp but once I had it changed all of it went away but I’m not saying that those problems will happen to you it’s just how some of these first gen’s are some are good and some are bad but with this engine most of them are good and I would just say just keep on top of your maintenance and don’t push your cars too much and make sure that your within your limits on this engine. And yes the tread thing is very real I had a rwd version and mines threw a code when I only changed the rear you have to let the car know you change the tires so just reset the tpm sensors unless you replaced them with the same size or tires it won’t throw the chassis code but if you go a little bit bigger they will throw a code I don’t know why but they act super weird with the tires. But this is what I’ve seen personally with these cars big overall these engines are super great amazing probably the best BMW engine I’ve seen for cheap tuning and great maintenance and I was pushing around 450 hp and 500 torque and it’s a fun car if you guys want to see my old one I have a insta it’s blank.440i. This is what I’ve seen personally on some of these cars but I will say this is if not the best platform for beginners or first time BMW drivers to go for this is one if not the best platforms to start off on and if you haven’t driven one I would highly recommend taking a test drive in one these engines can make crazy torque and very easy horsepower with the right tuning. But just be careful with some of these cars but just best advice just be on top of your maintenance that’s all.
Get the MHD super license, it's great. Easy to use and all the options are fun (rolling antilag, multimap, burble override, valet map with reduced power, etc.)
I’m torn between this and BM3. Does MHD mask check engine light?
@@beaterbeemer I have an air intake & stage 1 tune with MHD and never had any check engine lights. I think the same goes for Stage 2 with a downpipe but haven't tried it yet
Im at 156k and im solid💪🏽
That’s what we love to hear bro 🙌🏻
TOp video, pretty honest THANK YOU
Beater Beemer is the only reason I use YT👍🏻
Nice car mate. Likening the front splitter
Thanks! Sorry for the late reply
2018 340i xdrive approaching 135K. Great so far.
Nice! Love to hear it
XDrive is so finicky that when my dad rotated his tires the system didn’t function correctly until he swapped them back lol. No issues replacing two at once using the same tires, but apparently rotation for even tread wear is an issue
That’s so silly they would have such tight tolerances. My problem went away on its own with no explanation lol. Gotta love it
Wow, BMW has sure gone a long way since the n54😅.
Looking to get a B58 myself
Hey I cant find the dummy switch on ecs 17:02
Do you have a link?
Hey bro love the 440 is your front bumper the m4 style or is it the m sport? Thanks
Hey! It’s just the standard m sport bumper, nothing fancy
I was supposed to buy one saidly, someone else got to it first, so far i have to wait 😢 but ill get one soon
Ahh, bummer! But this only means it wasn’t meant to be and that the perfect 440 is waiting for you. Good luck!
Definitely go with bootmode I got mhd and I have to switch
Can you tell us what was the maintenance interval when you bought that car? Like how often the oil was changed from previously owner/s?
I’m not really sure without the Carfax in front of me. The dealership didn’t offer service records outside of what you find on Carfax. I personally change the oil every 3-5k miles ✌🏻
So I just moved to the USA 3 weeks ago, first thing I bought was a 440i xdrive 2019. Can you tell me more about this lifetime oil & brake change. I know fcp euro and I used to order my parts online from them from my home country. But I don’t know how I can get “lifetime” parts.
Sure man, and welcome to the states! I’m going to try my best here, but let’s say you want to buy the oil change kit for your b58. So you buy it once and pay full price obviously. The next time you change your oil, you buy the kit again (technically you’ve bought it twice now) but this time you can put the old, used oil and filter back into the containers they came in. Just reuse the jugs and box from the 2nd kit you bought. Fcpeuro has a lifetime warranty return sheet that you have to print out, fill out, and include in your return package. They’ll give you a full rebate and now you’re golden! Use the rebate and never pay for oil changes again after the initial 2 purchases (technically purchase 2 is being refunded). Hope this helps! I’m bad at explaining things haha. You do have to pay for shipping which should be about $20
Hahaha, im also very bad at explaining things but that was easy to understand, thanks a lot man.
Hey quick question - at 15:10ish I noticed your brake rotors have a brown mark about 1 inch in diameter going around the inner rotor. Mine also has this after changing the discs/pads on both fronts. Is this normal then?
Hey sorry but I’m not sure. I never really noticed it, but in either case I’m sure it’s not part of the rotor surface that contacts the pads. Kinda looks like part of the hub to me? I don’t have my car right now or else I’d look
Ah no worries, thanks for the reply anyway! Think you’re right though, just brown where there’s no contact from the pads. Good to see your car’s holding up well past 100k, looks cleeeean too!
Great Video! I have the same car with same mileage. My experience is the same as yours.
Glad you liked the video! And to hear I’m not full of crap haha.
You have to match outer diameter on Xdrive cars so your tires may be same diameter but in reality it could be slightly different (I think the tolerance is 1% at least on g series so I would check that). It seems easiest to just run square wheels.
Yes well put, for this very reason the previous owner sourced two sets of front 437m wheels to achieve square because they only came staggered. It’s currently because I have summer compounds in the back and all seasons in the front like a dummy
OMG, amazing !! what the specs on your rims? are you running spacers ? lover the new spoiler, link please
Thanks!! My wheel specs are 255/35/19 in front and 275/35/19 in rear, no spacers. The 437m style wheel is perfect fitment for this car! The site I bought my spoiler from no longer carry’s them but you can find the same style here!

I want to get into a 2017 440i grandcoupe but it haves 66k mile right now do you think it would be smart for me to do it?
I personally would feel great buying one with 66k miles. That’s a fresh b58 to me
Must be the natural evolution of a bmw owner my next car will be b58 coming from an n55
For sure! I will say I still have my 335i. I want an N55 and a B58 haha
Hi i got a question where can i buy a car like this but a newer model do you got a website so i can look
Yea man I like to use AutoTempest.com or u can download the app. They combine like 10 different sites so u can see everything out there
LOOOOOOOVE the B58!
There's nothing like the look of a 2-door 4 Series BMW ...
Couldn’t agree more! Specifically the F gen for me. The pinnacle of bmw styling
Which cars have b58 with manual .
Hey bro I was thinking about getting a bmw 2022 2 series 228i x drive with 40,000 miles on it
I really really want it but Scotty Kilmer basically scared the life outta me saying it’s an endless money pit
Ik you don’t have all the answers but do you think it could be reliable
Hey thanks for reaching out. I don’t know much about the new generation but I know a 228i should be naturally aspirated, and therefore it’s instantly more reliable than a turbo charge bmw lol. Plus 40k miles in my opinion is still new as hell. If I were you I wouldn’t be worried.
But of course there’s so many factors that go into this bro. Your current life situation, your income, your knowledge working on cars, your age and insurance costs etc etc. you gotta make the call on if you can really afford it or if it’s gonna run your margins too tight. Cuz nothing is guaranteed and you don’t wanna bet everything on the car never breaking ya know?
But I say go for it and don’t look back. And save yourself tons of money by doing small jobs yourself and buy from fcpeuro for the lifetime warranty. Good luck!
Hello, How much gasoline does this car consume approximately, when driving normally for 100 km.., or how many kilometers do you travel with 1 tank.🙂
Hey so this car actually gets good gas mileage! If my math is correct, this car gets about 30 miles to the gallon (50km) so 100km would consume about 2 gallons. And around 600 kilometers in a tank. Normal driving of course. Aggressive driving is around 38 km per gallon
Bootmod3 is great for the DP error that gets thrown up
I think that’s gonna be the move. Do you have personal experience with it masking your CEL?
You always change all 4 tyres and have to put the right sizes on xDrive otherwise over time the transfer case will not like it at all. That’s one of the downsides to awd bmw’s
You’re right and I didn’t know that, had to learn the hard way. Luckily it seems the opposite happened for me and my transfer case calmed down over time because I haven’t had the chassis code pop up in months 🤷🏻♂️
I only have 23k miles on mine. Still tons of life left.
Oh wow she’s still fresh! I bet the piece of mind you have is really nice, haha. I’m happy that at 100k I still have no anxiety
What year is this ? Looking forward to buying one and I wanna know which are the best
It’s a 2017 pre LCI model gen 1 B58. I think any gen 2 versions are better for power because of the upgraded high pressure fuel pump but I don’t know if there are any core changes to the motor. I think the pre lci gen 1 models are the best value currently. Gets you into a B58 for as cheap as possible
Surprised you didn't mention coolant loss on the gen 1 b58 main expansion tank which seems common in many cars
I regret not mentioning it but I honestly haven’t had that issue myself. I topped off coolant when I bought the car a year ago and haven’t touched it since. Also haven’t checked it in a while but if it was a problem I would think I’d get a low coolant warning by now
I haven't had this issue either but since these cars produce quite a bit of heat and the expansion tank feeds the intercooler I believe it could just be evaporating gradually over years of ownership. I had mine a tad low and just topped it off but been at the same level since.
@@russsle same here for me. Topped it off when I bought it and haven’t touched it since. But I agree with the theory
@@beaterbeemer You should still check. The warning doesn't come up until it very low. I didn't check mine for 6 months and it was lower then where it should be.
@@NS416 ahh, okay. I’ll check
what wheel size and rims are running rn? i have a 440i gc and trying to get the fitment in line kinda like yours
I’ve got the genuine 437m’s in size 19 wrapped in 255/35/19 tires all around. Funny enough though, I just learned that all genuine M wheels come staggered.. there are no square set M wheels. Meaning my back tires must be stretched pretty aggressively over a 275 wheel or something. I bought it that way 🤷🏻♂️
@@beaterbeemer yeah more than likely. when i bought my car, it came with 20x9.5 w/ 245/35/20.
The car is the M-Package so it has the Active M-Suspension so I’m forced to get the coil overs you got instead of throwing on straight springs. Do you rub at all with 19? With the setup I have, at stock height, i rub way more since i went up to a 255/35/20.
@@tamcra5357 sorry for late reply. But no I don’t have any rubbing thankfully. The previous owner made the wheel fitment perfect. And the coilovers are almost bottomed out in the back. I can raise it much higher if need be. Not sure if it will be different for you with 20’s but my fitment has no rubbing. And like I said I have a square set of tires (255/35/19) all around. But most likely a wider wheel in back, and the tire is stretched. I still need to check that
@@beaterbeemer all good big dawg! appreciate you. you just helped me for my next set of wheels haha
@@tamcra5357 that’s what I’m here for 💪🏻 cheers!
My friend‘s g30 540i is 87kmiles and he just had a transmission oil leak. Replaced some kind of seal, parts around 500$ and labor is 1100$😂which makes me nervous I just turned 41k miles.
Dang! I think you have plenty of time though. And if you learn to do the job yourself it could be exponentially cheaper
your friend got robbed. The transpan gaskets are cheap and it’s really easy to replace. 😞
your friend was robbed
F30 owners : oh my god, myy car is so old it’s 100k mikes
E92 owners : *posting for sale* ITS ONLY 124k miles! Low mikes! For sale!
Lol I’m putting a new motor in my E90 - 100k miles on it. She’s fresh!
I hear my idle fluctuate on start ups and everyone I see does too must be a b58 thing
I try not to worry myself about things like that, my N55 335i did the same thing. Might just be a bmw thing haha or vanos solenoids need cleaning
you should paint match the reflectors would look so clean. This car is like my realistic dream car and working towards getting one love the vids keep it up.
Thanks! Paint match is 100% on the list. It’s mine too and I feel blessed to be driving it. You’ll get it soon! Maybe I should do a price break down on how much mine costs to afford 🤔
Bro do you think this car will be a good car for someone who only drove suvs and hatchbacks? Will it be a good first sports car?
Hey sorry for the late response. 1000% I think it’s a great first sports car. You can pick them up pretty cheap and with little mods they can be faster than most cars on the road. Just be prepared to spend money on it haha. The routine maintenance on a bmw is more strict than other cars and you don’t wanna let it go to shit. Treat it right it will treat you right
@@beaterbeemer thank you so much! You’re content is awesome man keep it up
Get an X3 M40i. It has the same drivetrain as this 440 with the added practicality of an SUV.
wassup bro. Do you have the GTS cold start turned on or is that just oem with the downpipe and res delete
Just oem with the downpipe and res delete as you say. I have no way to adjust cold starts with just the JB4 I gotta have mhd or bm3 pretty sure
@@beaterbeemer ahh ok . Yea i have bm3 on my 540 . And catless with remus axle back. I have the GTS start up so its just always starting loud 🤣 think ima go OEM start up tho so the cold starts are still loud but it calms down when warm or whatever
@@MallyG30 this is interesting to me! Because I intend on getting bm3 very soon. Honestly will probably turn off cold start roar for a little while. It’s really loud man 😂 I bet yours is even louder. So how much longer does the GTS start seem to last over my OEM start?
@@beaterbeemer i feel like its just the same as yours . Maybe a tad bit more aggressive . It calms down a lot after like 60 seconds or so but u know the sound is never the same on these vids as it is in person so might just be the same.
But yeah naw i love the cold start . Fuck my neighbors their g37 is louder 🤣 gts is just loud on every single start up so might do away with that .
@@MallyG30 that’s how I feel bro like I love the way it sounds but I could do without the cold start roar every time. Even with the oem settings and the car warm it still starts up loud as hell lol. Makes the car so much more fun tho
Beautiful car
@@BraydenPerumal thank you!
I found a black 440i coupe that i really want but with the high interest rates the payment would be $700/ month. My current car is 2017 accord coupe v6 and only pay $300/month its so cheap
Awh man yea 700 is pretty high especially for a car like this as great as it is. Not sure that leaving your accord for a 440i is worth $500 extra but that’s just me! Good luck 👍🏻
Don’t do it. I just got a 2023 m440 with 3k miles. Car note is 800 a month. I also have a 2012 accord v6 that I’m looking to pass to my nephew.
@@drepark2294you think it’s worth it though? Plus the cost of insurance I’m in Cali so roughly maybe $250-300 monthly for insurance is the best I’ve seen so far. I’m looking at the infinity Q60 they’re pretty nice but the interior just won’t hold up for me. At least BMW interiors are a bit nicer. The only thing I dislike about BMWs is the reliability issue and the same overused odometer on almost every single model besides the ones with digital dash.
I heard h&r lowering springs have terrible ride quality and i think in one of your videos you said you had them, is that true?
Actually I have KW v3 coilovers and I love them! I have no experience with H&R unfortunately
I’m running a set of h&r sport lowering springs on my 440i and ride quality is not good lol can feel every bump in the road and lower back starts hurting especially on a 6 hour road trip. Save and get coils
@@projektbushido3915 okay thanks for telling me
@@beaterbeemer okay thanks, j an opinion but u should paint match the orange reflectors on the car
@@vexbtw9771 oh absolutely, it’s on the list!
Explain how you do that of fcp euro???😂 i’m really interested
I’ve been meaning to make a video for everyone, but what you do is you buy the product once, keep the box. And then the second time you order that same product, you can send them back the old product in original packaging along with a return form you fill out and include in the box. They give you a full rebate! You just had to pay return shipping. This can be fluids too. So I do it for my oil change kits
what tail lights are those
They are the VLAND M4 GTS style.

I have same year 440 white as well mine has 70k on it!!
She’s fresh!
100k miles with no issues for a BMW is very rare and impressive for a BMW. 150k is borderline biblical.
As long as previous owners took care of the car bmw’s inline 6’s are bulletproof going 200k plus miles fairly easy, i currently own 2 one at 170k miles no major issues just regular maintenance
I just turned in my 2016 340i x-Drive with 147K miles and no major repairs. Regular maintenance and consumables, but no major issues.
lol are you lumping in every bmw made motor in your 150k lifespan assessment? thats just silly talk honestly
Dude R U About the cats and the tires.
MHD is the way to goooo
I appreciate the input! That’s +1 for MHD 💪🏻
Hey do you think a m340i with 68k miles good?
depends on the year and how the owner treats it
@@subreme9351 2020 its certified preowned
I’ve got a 2018 440i that I got 6 months. It has 55k miles in the clock. Just done an oil change and found an alarming amount of aluminium/ metal in the oil.
Anyone else had this?
Great car but I think my engine is on borrowed time.
@@garrymillstones517 I’m sorry to hear of this development for you! Obviously I haven’t seen this in my car but good luck hopefully someone can offer some insight
I’m literally driving an n55 almost at 300k lol
You my friend are part of an elite master race of BMW owners that make it to 300k, nice! I thought 200k was good
You should not do your own oil changes. You should take it to the dealer and they always give you a free inspection and suggested maintenance. You can then do whats needed at home yourself.
yea they definitely be taking your money with ease my guy..
5w40?!! Are we talking about the same b58?
Yes, check your owners manual. Our cars accept tons of different viscosity from 0w30 up to 5w40. And for a tuned, higher mileage b58 application thicker is better. Don’t put that thin crap in your car
I run 5w40 as well, going any 5/0w20 in florida just feels sketch, my oil will be as hot as anywhere all the time. thicker oils are better for not thinning out and giving you a yeeted bearing
@@russsle exactly! I blew the motor on my high mileage 335i because I switch from 5w30 all its life to 0w30 on the recommendation of a bmw tech.
Bro don’t forget to turn your transmission stage 3 XHP
Absolutely 💪🏻💪🏻

What wheels are those?
Toyota made the B58 a champion.
Think is a 340i 100k miles for 15k good ?
I bet you didn't go with a HJS cat ....
I actually bought the car with a downpipe already and haven’t investigated the brand to be honest
@@beaterbeemer during the years I have used a fair amount of HJS cats and they are of good quality but of course quite expensive. Many oem's like Porsche etc. use HJS cats in their cars.
Spoiler - yes
110k is about when the probability of failures increases.
Doesn't cost much for a mic.
They are designed to start breaking at 120.000 miles
If by that you mean that some parts can start breaking at that point without the correct maintenance you're right
Wait really I heard they start breaking at 75,000
Got a buddy with 144k miles and he's just done routine maintenance. on a single turbo setup 😂
440i takes 0w 20 oil
In the owners manual it specifies that a 440i will take multiple viscosities from 0w20 up to 5w40
$1 everytime you say "Guys" :D
I hate that about myself when I film 😂 I’m so self conscious about it and you’re the first to say something LOL love it
@@beaterbeemer haha dont overthink it guys 😉
I heard corvettes are faster
But not yours 😬
NGL returning used oil sounds pretty scummy
Haha I assure you it’s a normal thing that people do all the time with fcp euro. If you have multiple cars and change your own oil it’s a game changer
U need to go catless
I like my current setup 😅
I went catless and 1. it smells bad and 2. it wasn't that much louder tbh. I'm going with a custom exhaust next
@russsle jus do res delete, really no need to to the whole exhaust, also the point of doing a catless dp is so u can tune it higher
thinking of grabbing a gran coupe for my next car. love the b58.
Hell yea you really can’t go wrong. The B58 is leading the industry in that class
You don’t need a colder plug at 400 hp , colder plugs are needed over 600 hp.
I appreciate the input, I’ll try out the ones I have that are gapped 1 step colder, make a video. And report back if it helps or hurts 👍🏻

Hey do you think a m340i with 68k miles good?
Yes absolutely. The B58 motor has a great reputation for reliability well past the 100k range. You should get many happy years out of it
@@beaterbeemer price of 38,500$
@@user-xr8xz9ig1z it’s difficult for me to say since it’s an m340i I’m assuming it’s the newer generation, and then I’m not so knowledgeable on good prices. It sounds a little high to me but really I don’t know. I personally would not get into a B58 for that much only because I could get an F82 M4 for that price and that’s my dream car 😬
