It’s crazy how far the B58 has come in a few short years. Savagegeese did a dyno of a stock 2022 Supra and it did ~400whp 100% stock. 2022 cars are making what stage 1 cars are making a few years ago.

I was torn between a 340i and a M340i, any could do for me, really. Supra's are nice too, but 2 seats and rwd so out of question for me, in all honestly I miss my old F30, can be made to look so gorgeous, the lines are truly great when the car sit just right and right mods. But the G body is growing on me every day, driving wise and from the inside there is no competition imho G body all the way, heavier but also not as loud inside. Here in the country I live they are getting real close in prices cause older 340's just going up and up, can get something like a 440GT cheaper, but just love the 3 series sedan so went for a early M340i. Can only have 1 car for everything, wish I could have a summer car like a turbo converted stripped out and light weight E36 but not where I live now, xdrive B58 is the way for me. Thanks for great content, helping me choose
Great video! What would you recommend for a 2022 X5 B58 (TU2 I believe), for a reliable 60+ HP gain? It sounds like I have the locked DME, so would a piggy back tuner like JB4 provide decent gains?
Hello Kern. You're my go-to for my B58 info. Recently i gave it some gas to get around a guy and smoke started coming from my air vents smelled like burned oil but coincidently i had a low coolant code pop. I have a service booked so just topped up with about 250ml ro water. I havent seen any videos of you covering this issue which appears to be fairly common. Do you have a video about this issue or if you come across this comment can you point me in the right direction. If its valve cover gasket should i go billet aluminum?
Just found this video but wow man you clearly know your stuff! I have a question I am in the process of buying a September 17 m140i with the B58M engine which is the gen 1? My question is is this the one to get looking to around 700bhp max no higher
Correct me if im wrong but it does seem like the 2-port 11:1 high compression is better for boosting …. Everytime i see the first gen mk5 vs newer 6-port supras it gets off the line quicker or torquer . To me it seems like the 10:2:1 6-port is for higher top end HP.
correct. higher compression is like a shorter rear end. it does more with less work. the primary benefit of the lower compression engines is they tend to handle more abuse.
How do eblend tunes compare to M1 injection tunes on a high compression b58TU compare? I have a FBO, DAW ultra flow 6466 with dual jet M1 injection kit on my 2020 Supra. Being that e85 isn’t readily available by me, I was always curious to know if enough methanol injection would supplement the same effects of say an e30 tune with my car.
Stock internal b58 with full csf 6 piece cooling kit is probally good all the way to 700whp reliably that what jakie ding is getting on his global time attack car you can maybe get away with 800whp on a drag setup but anymore and it just a ticking time bomb on stock internal the b58 is really strong provided with good cooling at 500-600whp i would consider this level almost stock level of reliability.
I have a question, my car is a BMW F36 440I Xdirve B58TU HPFP CSF cooling M poformance exhaust mach5 200cell Stock turbo MHD stage 2+ How can I continue to increase horsepower.
Nice video as always Kern!! 😉👌🏻 i’m pretty happy with my Gen1 B58, My car has only 45K miles and i’m running MHD stage 1 with xHp Stage 2 and the car is a fast enough beast. i can see that I’m reaching 440hp in the HP meter and 540nm of torque... is that meter on the car screen accurate? Because honestly i’m very impressed with those numbers, and that’s enough for my daily driving tho. 👍🏻
@@kern417 This is just my personal opinion and not at all confirmed. But I believe that the HP and torque meter on the iDrive screen shows how much power and torque response you are requesting to the throttle pedal (which is now technically a torque demand pedal) Jason Camisa explains this much better than I can. So I like to think that the numbers show how much pull I am asking the car to do. I'm on MHD stage 2 but no trans tune yet. Still drives really nice and the f22 chassis just wants to rip it!
@@TedsApex the numbers are set by the tune. The tuner can calibrate 10psi to read 100hp or 500hp. Most tuners do not spend the time and R&D to calibrate everything to match specific hp levels at various amounts of load. Especially in an ots map.
Would a b58tu pump on a gen1 allow us to tune for MHD stage 2+ along with downpipe etc or just stage 2 ? New to bmw im coming from Audi. Slowly learning
@@kern417 But if i Type In B58 Flex Fuel kit There is not a lot off information On youtube at least , I cant find you make video .. i have g30 540i i want to tune with mhd Dont know which flex fuel kit available ..

if you want to be able to tune it easily, make sure it's pre-2020. x-drive or rwd can work but rwd will be more traction limited. x-drive is sort of a cheat code.

Love your vids!! I have a 2022 x3 m40i with the b58b30b engine. Looking for a turbo upgrade. I was hoping you could give me a recommendation. Thanks, in advance.,
@@kern417 Thanks Kern. Looking for in between 500hp to 550hp from the stock 382hp. I understand a turbo upgrade is what I’m looking for to achieve this. I’d like to upgrade the exhaust as well. As far as down pipe, high pressure fuel pump, intake, charge pipe, ecu upgrade, etc etc. I’m not too sure. It has to be done right. There’s just too many conflicting opinions for me to know what is actually needed do to limited knowledge. Budget? I’m not sure until I see a list or something of what’s ACTUALLY needed to do it properly. 10k? More? I appreciate any help I can get.
Hey what’s up man I got an x3 m40i 2019 I want something that’s very reliable but still get some noticeable power gains is an MHD stage 2 and Cg precision catted downpipe a good upgrade?
Great content! If i am limitted to 91/94 oct where i live, what do you recommand between gen1 supra (2020) or Tu (2021+)? knowing that i want to start with fbo stage 2 and might get P800 later on. all on 94 oct. keep in mind that i am saving more or less 4-5k for older 2020 supra's.
I have a question… but first just want to say thank you for your knowledge and in explaining how things work. Interested in DAW flow max+ in my 340i with TU pump. Am I able to run OTS from bm3 for the meanwhile until I try to find a tuner for a custom map? I’m trying to plan things out.
Looking for a new daily 340i with a budget of around 32k is a 2016 340i rwd a good drivetrain for a stage 1 or 2 tune on stock turbos. Trying to stay close to 400 and no e, I don’t live close 😔
What do you think I did the following upgrades: CSF heat exchange filter Akrapovic complete system Hjs downpipe High-pressure pump from the Supra I also changed charge pipe and intake various parts I had an MHD 2 Stage and my low fuel pressure pump broke My dream would be to drive safely with about 520-560 hp what do you recommend me ? Greetings from Switzerland
Thanks 😊. I have a gen 1 b58 m240. I want to go for a safe tune. Installing hi flow cat and custom tune ONLY. What power and torque levels should We not exceed?
You don’t need a custom tune for your low level of mods. Just get an OTS map and a catted/catless downpipe and call it a day if you don’t plan to upgrade further.
@@joewashington202 damn, that’s G82 M4 territory….. you’ll definitely need at least custom flex fuel tune and aftermarket downpipe for that much to the wheels.
Great video! Just got a 2020 540i with a B58B30M1. Looking to install a high flow downpipe, intake, and Stage 1 tune to not stress the car too much (for now). Would you recommend MHD or BM3 of I decide to stay Stage 1?

Hello sir, you seem very knowledgeable in an area I need to become knowedgeable in. I am looking for a BMW x5 with an inline 6, huge horsepower is not so important, as long as I have enough. I look at your video here, please correct me if I am wrong, when I want to drive normally and not hard for the most I am wondering if it is the B58TU (second generation) ? The model I loved reviewed on RUclips was a 2019 which still might be slightly too expensive for my wage, if I cannot get a 2019 with a B58TU, which is the best year and engine I can get for reliability and trouble free issues wise?
@@kern417 Hi thank you, I imagine B58 for something newish around 2019 or 2020? When you say "older" are you talking around 2005 to 2009? Before turbo chargers. Will these older ones be less expensive to maintain? I've never had a BMW before, currently have a GMC Jimmy, cheaper for parts but hate the interior cheap quality.

Hello from Norway.🙂
I wonder - got a BMW Roadster Z4 with a B58C engine, made in august 2024
Anyone know what the ''C'' stand for?
doesn't stand for anything. it is a 2 port gen 2 B58.
Hey im new and have a question gen 1 or gen 2 which one is better to make about 600bhp with the stock motor . And which has more problems
Subbed
Correct me if im wrong but it does seem like the 2-port 11:1 high compression is better for boosting …. Everytime i see the first gen mk5 vs newer 6-port supras it gets off the line quicker or torquer . To me it seems like the 10:2:1 6-port is for higher top end HP.
correct. higher compression is like a shorter rear end. it does more with less work. the primary benefit of the lower compression engines is they tend to handle more abuse.
Kern, how to know if I have the higher or lower compression version of the TU?
What about for an x3 m40i for power and reliability what do you think
Yes sir I'm getting a 2020 X3 M40i. It has the TU. 58TU is gonna be more reliable with the single timing chain ⛓️
So which b58 engine should I get in a g30 to leave it stock? Maybe, a minimum tune later and a downpipe, but I doubt that. Thank you!
both work the same. just depends on what you can afford.
Me 1stockf30 vs Mr no hesi m340 race kinda express the difference, I'll just get gen 1 because hesi be multiple issues

Love your vids!! I have a 2022 x3 m40i with the b58b30b engine. Looking for a turbo upgrade. I was hoping you could give me a recommendation. Thanks, in advance.,
Just depends on your goals and budget
@@kern417 Thanks Kern. Looking for in between 500hp to 550hp from the stock 382hp. I understand a turbo upgrade is what I’m looking for to achieve this. I’d like to upgrade the exhaust as well. As far as down pipe, high pressure fuel pump, intake, charge pipe, ecu upgrade, etc etc. I’m not too sure. It has to be done right. There’s just too many conflicting opinions for me to know what is actually needed do to limited knowledge. Budget? I’m not sure until I see a list or something of what’s ACTUALLY needed to do it properly. 10k? More? I appreciate any help I can get.
@@jeffmays7192 you can get there with a turbo and downpipe. No hpfp upgrades are available for TU but you won't be limited by fuel in that range.
@@kern417 Thanks Kern.
Hey what’s up man I got an x3 m40i 2019 I want something that’s very reliable but still get some noticeable power gains is an MHD stage 2 and Cg precision catted downpipe a good upgrade?
Yes
What cars have the 6 port b58 tu? Is it all the g series ms
Yes gseries only
Great content!
If i am limitted to 91/94 oct where i live, what do you recommand between gen1 supra (2020) or Tu (2021+)? knowing that i want to start with fbo stage 2 and might get P800 later on. all on 94 oct. keep in mind that i am saving more or less 4-5k for older 2020 supra's.
All supras are TU. If you mean 2 port vs 6 port the 6 port will make power on pump gas easier
I’ve seen B58A, B58C and B58D which one is TU version?
Both B58C and B58D are TU engines. C is 2 port head, D is 6 port head.
Thoughts on a stage 2 MHD tune for 2018 x3 m40i? Seems like these can be picked up for a great deal.
Worth upgrading fueling or no?
Stage 2 works well. You just need a downpipe
I hope you respond to this do you think it’s possible to swap a gen 2 b58 into a f30 ??
Probably
I have a question… but first just want to say thank you for your knowledge and in explaining how things work.
Interested in DAW flow max+ in my 340i with TU pump. Am I able to run OTS from bm3 for the meanwhile until I try to find a tuner for a custom map? I’m trying to plan things out.
a lot of people do. the best thing is to run logs to confirm.
Just ordered a Flow max and currently have TU pump, did you end up going OTS and if u did how'd it run?
What spark plugs do you recommend for stock turbo stage 2 e40
Stock
@@kern417 thanks just got my 540i got stage 1 stock dp for now your vids very helpful
Looking for a new daily 340i with a budget of around 32k is a 2016 340i rwd a good drivetrain for a stage 1 or 2 tune on stock turbos. Trying to stay close to 400 and no e, I don’t live close 😔
Yep
So for my 2020 m340i she would be a b58tu ?
Correct
great video bud! which engine does the 2018 G30 540xi have?
Gen 1
What do you think I did the following upgrades:
CSF heat exchange filter
Akrapovic complete system
Hjs downpipe
High-pressure pump from the Supra
I also changed charge pipe
and intake various parts
I had an MHD 2 Stage and my low fuel pressure pump broke
My dream would be to drive safely with about 520-560 hp
what do you recommend me ?
Greetings
from Switzerland
A turbo upgrade will get you there
How do you know if you have a TU version

Does a 2020 440i have a gen2 b58?
no
What about a 2020 g01?
Any idea if anyone is working on a gen2 HPFP upgrade?
not really something being worked on. ruclips.net/video/SIjkjn_kdXg/видео.html
Thanks 😊. I have a gen 1 b58 m240. I want to go for a safe tune. Installing hi flow cat and custom tune ONLY. What power and torque levels should We not exceed?
You don’t need a custom tune for your low level of mods. Just get an OTS map and a catted/catless downpipe and call it a day if you don’t plan to upgrade further.
what f series b58 is best for track use?
M140 or M240 would be the lightest
@@kern417 are they lighter than the z4 m40i? I didn’t know that
Z4 is G Series (G29)
@@kern417 ahhh true
i have a 21 tu looking to make close to 500 what do you recomend
Downpipe and e50 tune
500 bhp or 500 whp?
@@videogazer801 like to put down 500 to the wheels or close like 485
@@joewashington202 damn, that’s G82 M4 territory….. you’ll definitely need at least custom flex fuel tune and aftermarket downpipe for that much to the wheels.
How does the S58 compare?
More fuel, more capacity for power on stock turbos, but uogrades are more expensive
Great video! Just got a 2020 540i with a B58B30M1. Looking to install a high flow downpipe, intake, and Stage 1 tune to not stress the car too much (for now). Would you recommend MHD or BM3 of I decide to stay Stage 1?
Bm3
Great content. Are the TU cars mainly the xdrive models? And does this only also apply to the US market, and not euro or australian?
Engine version is based on the platform/model year.
ruclips.net/video/u-eE8v6ZxF0/видео.html
Would you recommend an upgraded fuel pump with a 1st b58 if I wanted to run e50?
Also do you have an opinion on 200 cell catted vs catless?
Thx
How much power do you want to make
@@kern417 450 whp
@@moescolla get at least a TU pump. Catted is fine.

Are first gen b58's good with mileage at 500whp assuming proper maintenance ?
2020 BMW M340I is a low compression 6.ports right?
Correct, all M340 got the low comp engine.

Hello sir, you seem very knowledgeable in an area I need to become knowedgeable in. I am looking for a BMW x5 with an inline 6, huge horsepower is not so important, as long as I have enough. I look at your video here, please correct me if I am wrong, when I want to drive normally and not hard for the most I am wondering if it is the B58TU (second generation) ? The model I loved reviewed on RUclips was a 2019 which still might be slightly too expensive for my wage, if I cannot get a 2019 with a B58TU, which is the best year and engine I can get for reliability and trouble free issues wise?
B58 or N55 if you want an older one
@@kern417 Hi thank you, I imagine B58 for something newish around 2019 or 2020? When you say "older" are you talking around 2005 to 2009? Before turbo chargers. Will these older ones be less expensive to maintain? I've never had a BMW before, currently have a GMC Jimmy, cheaper for parts but hate the interior cheap quality.
gen2 duh. why even ask this question.
