Great video, thanks! This coming Monday I am trading in my 2012 BMW 335i and picking up a BMW 340i with a B58 engine. I have heard so many great things about this engine, including what you just said about it. I am so excited to get this marvelous car with the amazing B58 engine.
I bought mine in May and its done 8000kms without any issues besides a software update which i had to take back to the dealer to sort. The idrive screen changed paramters.
Not that I understand what I'm asking, but what is the engine number designation of the 2022 BMW X3 M40i? I don't need a detailed explanation, because I wouldn't know what to do with it. Is the engine designation B58TU close enough to accurate?
Was think of getting a porshe but that mid engine scares me because I like to work on my cars and on the porshes they are underneath the car what’s your thought on that?
Hi Claudio, by Porsche sounds like you are referring to a Cayman or Boxster? I would stay away from early versions of both as an IMS failure can write off the car. Later cars are OK but yes they are a both more involved for maintenance. If you want Porsche, I would recommend a 911 as a rear engined car and most models will hold better value. Some had IMS issues too but the value of the car may mean it is worth fixing. If budget allows I would go 2013 911 and newer with the 991 generation or go 996 Turbo as it has a better intermediate shaft design and is very durable and serviceable by a home DIYer.
Wow thank you so much, I love the sound of a PDK, how are you going to work on a middle engine car as everything is almost underneath the car, it’s much harder to work then with a bmw engine, how come you don’t talk about Porsches much?
True they do like the wind and are amazing daily drivers'. Almost best of both worlds. M car may be a bit much for a daily especially if you live somewhere there is 4 true seasons.
In America doesn' t exist BMW diesel?Every time "relaible,relaible,most relaible bmw 325i,330i,etc" but not diesel.I hate it!It is annoying!If you don't make a video about diesel ,too i will ignore you!

They are fun to drive and have lots of great tech

I wanna know if this car engine is reliable and if it's a good buy. Cuz I wanna purchase mine soon 2018 BMW x3 m40i?? What's your take on this
So far these engines are quite reliable, have you seen my video on the recalls and reliability of this car ? If you have time, check it out.

That engine is gorgeous!! 😊
Nice video! 😇 Love that it's a new engine and not like other makers who use decade old engines. 🙄😊

Thanks Kiwi. Have a great one.

Great video Mark keep it up
Thanks Jason. Cheers.
Just wondering this B58 engine is twin turbo or its only single turbo?
It’s a single turbo, twin scroll

I’d love that in my 328i. Talk about a sleeper.
For sure, awesome power in this unit.
Is 530e PHEV a reliable car?
Heads and tails above the rest?
Shiulders?
Haha
this b58 also the new x5 engine right?
Yes it is when you see the 40 designation that is the engine such as 340i, 440i, X3 M40i, etc. and now X5 as well
@@ECPP This engine put in sport mode is so difference,my wife has the 540xi
It's not an ///M engine but it does make power to 7000rpm and in my 340 with a jb4 it makes 400whp, plenty for a daily
True they do like the wind and are amazing daily drivers'. Almost best of both worlds. M car may be a bit much for a daily especially if you live somewhere there is 4 true seasons.
Yes, feet of snow in my state... I will probably get a new awd m5 next time tho
Is this the b58tu or b58
How is the engine cover removed?
Lift
I need help guys I intend purchasing a base model BMW X6 I want to know if it does have an airmatic suspension I’m really avoiding airmatic suspension
Should have taken the engine cover off.
I hear ya. Thanks for watching
I hear the chain. You have to change the car timing.
Brand new. Runs like a crazed wildebeast.
@@ECPP How long? This is not the same bmw as 20 years ago.
@@ECPP Now the cars are being made, which have a fast drive to the scrap yard.
That sounds you hear is the direct injection. At least have some idea of what you're talking about.
