Inline-six cylinders are making a comeback. Now that smaller turbocharged engines offer better power and better fuel economy, smooth I6 engines are making their way back into engine bays. The three best for 2020, according to Ward's Auto, in the 3.0L I6 in the BMW M340i (B58), the 3.0L I6 in the Mercedes GLE450 (M256), and the 3.0L I6 in the GMC Sierra 1500 (Duramax 3.0L).
Each of these engines are quite different, even though they're all the same displacement. The BMW is purely gasoline, the Mercedes is an electric-gasoline hybrid, and the GMC is a diesel. There's a wide variety of innovative technology used, like twin-scroll turbochargers, variable intake manifolds, variable geometry turbochargers, 48V hybrid systems, infinitely variable valve lift, and incredibly high fuel injection pressures. Check out the video to learn all about 2020's best I6 engines!

Very happy to see I6 engines making a come back. I6 is smoother, simpler and more elegant than V6.
V6 fits in smaller cars but tbh the I6 technically takes less volume, so it's coming back on wider full.sedans with short fronts.
The inline 6 twin scroll BMW is the best engine I’ve ever owned. Love my HEMI and my ‘Vette, but the power delivery, precise engine response, and throttle control from the bimmer is second to none.
Eric Eichler I hate the throttle control in my M3. It’s very non-linear and makes it hard to rev-match.
Yep. Great engine. And when something breaks, and it will (given BMW's poor reliability record) you will have to get a second mortgage on your house to pay the repair bills. At least the Corvette (maybe until the latest model) can be repaired with parts off the shelf that don't require you to sell your Hot Wheels collection.
BMW- break my wallet
@@theshield1613 Lol! I'll have to remember that... along with FIAT... "Fix It Again, Tony."
@@thomasdarby6084 and yet another person who hasn't owned a BMW lmao. I own a bmw with one of the most "unreliable" engines made. N54, yet havent had any serious issues of owning the car in 2 years. 30k miles. Funny how people expect a car to run forever and only maintenance they're capable of is changing the oil. Keep driving them Camrys 😂
So Jason can produce 200 lb-ft of torque so, Jason = a three cylinder diesel engine
The difference between Jason and a three-cylinder engine is that he produces all his torque at zero rpm, using a very long crank throw. The three cylinder engine makes torque at a couple of thousand rpm on a three inch throw.
@@johnlloyd2390 thank you for the clarification. I originally thought he was actually made of 1.5 liters worth of diesel cylinders, but after I read your comment I realized I must have been mistaken in my judgement. Thank you.
@@johnlloyd2390 According to EV nuts making torque at 0 RPM makes a car fantastic, so clearly jason is *better* than a 3 cylinder diesel engine
Jason can produce more torque than a Miata
@@vincentbaelde-millar670 I resemble that comment
I lost it when you said "I believe that some people call this a tool" 😂
That wasnt even that funny. You're easily impressed
@@followthegrow108 and what is wrong with that? It seems life would be more joyful that way.
Or, perhaps they just have a different sense of humor from you. Why does it even matter, or warrant a comment?
@@BradChadley calm down. he is the guy who revv the Tesla in the tunnel
The B58 is the best overall inline 6 on the market, IMO. It's one of the 3 or 4 best engines BMW has ever put in a road car. It pulls like a big block from low RPMs, is silky smooth, efficient, and makes great power all the way to redline. It also sounds fantastic.
...And it is reliable, at last. Though the S58 is something else!
The B57 is a damn good turbo diesel and with 315hp and 502 torque would make a good comparison with the GMC. :-)
@@Slaktraxthe s58 isn’t much better then the b58. Hella overrated. And the n54 is much different then the b58. The best bmw engine is by far the n54. It’s the cheapest and has the same power potential. Just fix its issues and you got yourself an excellent engine.
@@2seep I respect your choice. I'd go for the S58 any day. It's the only BMW production engine with forged internals; crank rods AND pistons. That makes it more suitable than any of the others if you want to modify it by increaasing hp. 🙂
I agree
b58 is overrated vs the s58. supra teenage fanboys need to sit down@@2seep
4:32 I'm really glad you did the Power@RPM discussion. That was a great way to communicate.
@Jeronimo Stupenengo Pefaur That's a bit of a myth actually they don't actually rev very high, typically around 8-9000rpm which not only lots of piston engines can do. Not even getting into motorcycles where they make 1.4l engines that can rev to 12000rpm which is far higher than any mass produced rotary ever.
Rotaries are very smooth and balanced and have no parts changing direction suddenly which in theory makes them suited for high RPM operation, but in reality they are limited by the apex seals which if you rev the engine too high are quickly ground down to dust.
ya - the 'hp vs torque' video from a few yrs ago had that info in there if u squinted, but i think didnt make it nearly as clear as this video does, esp to viewers that came into the video thinking torque matters (in and of itself)
Wow Jason. I was looking back at all your videos over the years and just the volume of work you've compiled, not to mention the ever increasing quality, is truly impressive. You have my vote for best RUclips channel. You've truly earned it.
mine too
The b58 is a masterpiece!
Is it? It has integrated exhaust manifold and valvetrain sprockets along with VVT mechanism are on the same side of block where flywheel is located. It would be expensive to replace timing chain and very inconvinient. But forged pistons and crankshaft in closed deck block are good.
Fr0ggy integrated exhaust manifold has many benefits
@@bradenmchenry995 for example?
@@fr0ggy220 The timing chain should last the lifetime of the vehicle for most owners, provided they use fresh full synthetic oil at reasonable intervals.
never heard someone changed the timing chain on a bmw i6 engine. They last
The biggest thing that I’ve noticed with the BMW inline 6 is how smooth it is. The engine isn’t rattling itself apart when you get the rpms up.
As a fun note, my BMW M2 starts rattling when you going too slow :)
@@Krasshirsch checkout your VVT, and EVAP. Both of those significantly affect low end performance/comfort on BMWs. I know from experience lmao. Cleaned my VANOS and it smoothed out completely
Aaaaand reality of zero reliability bmw comes to surface again
As always, great explanation for non engineers. I like your drawings and how you use them to explain what’s happens. Wish I had you as a teacher in physics. And watching your videos improves my understanding of technical english.
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
btw. The best engines I had in my cars are the BMW inline 6 (non turbo) with valvetronic and the coyote V8 in my 2019 Bullitt. The both rev as hell.
Even though it's not a i6 but Jaguar's 300bhp TDV6 is a beast and deserves recognition
Those green stars are so smart. It's a good way to answer people's questions and the whole EE video library gets to be used. You just made the quality of your videos even better.
Jason, that was outstanding. The Wards editors say "thanks" for the plug!
LOVE Inline Sixes. Both my vehicles have that engine layout. So smooth, and long lasting too!
3:45 Thank you for pointing this out. I've been telling people who emphasize torque this for years, but nobody seems to agree with me that power is only the number that really matters. You explain it well and I'll refer to this video whenever I'm in another discussion. :)
Power only matters at the high end. Power needs time to develop. If you look at the formulas HP=Torque x RPM,
when RPM=0 HP=0. So if you are interested in which engine will launch your car quicker from a deaf stop, torque is what matters.
Once it gets moving, HP takes over. So, both numbers matter.
@@itsm3th3b33 you're not going to try and launch your car from zero RPM though, are you? So this analysis doesn't really make any sense.
@@Kavafy Teslas are launched from zero RPM. Electric cars beat the crap out of ICE because they have huge torque in the low end. If all you need is to develop some RPM before launching, why can't ICE cars beat a Tesla?
The point is: torque matters (at the low end).
@@itsm3th3b33 Torque matters for hurried street driving because you're generally starting low in the rev range and it gives the feeling of more power. And it matters for towing because it let's you use a higher gear increasing efficiency. But if you're worried about setting lap times, it's power that matters. If you have more power and less torque, you can use shorter gears to make more wheel torque, which is ultimately what matters, but that is with the assumption that you're already in the high end of your rev range. Higher torque allows a common set of gear ratios to be suitable for a larger variety of uses. It's important to remember that we're talking about peak torque and peak power, an engine that is making more power than another at a given engine speed is also making more torque at that speed and vice versa.
Truck guys and Tesla fanboys generally don't / can't explain it this way, but they're not wrong when they say peak torque matters more than peak power for their purposes.
Right Wing Safety Squad
I don't know who you're responding to because I didn't deny any of what you said. I'm not a Tesla fanboy. I own an ICE.
My only point is to say that both Torque and HP numbers matter, unlike what Jason said.
I believe that BMW does actually vary the throttle valve opening but for the purpose of quick boost control. At least the logs I have seen from valvetronic equipped engines has had throttle valve not completely open at WOT. There is a MAP sensor pre and post the throttle valve which would indicate they are using it to precisely control boost pressure in the intake manifold. A side effect is it allows them to have a few PSI on tap without waiting for the turbo to spool up. There also appear to be some control related advantages to targeting a pressure differential over the throttle valve. Valvetronic is just another bonus on top of all that.
Gosh your productions values went up in the last 6 years!
"torque alone is a very meaningless number" THANK YOU! I wish manufactures would give us something like an "average power" figure, which would tell the story of actual usable power and ignore torque. Ideally just letting us see the entire power curve, but thats not likely to happen.
Patrick Rich average power would break the car world. I'm surprised it's not featured on every dyno chart during the tuning/testing process. Cars that emphasize midrange power would have an advantage there, though.
Each vehicle demands a different torque curve for each application, but I don't like engines that taper off way before redline. I want a relatively flat torque curve with a boost from mid to high rpm! Otherwise, it feels like the engine’s full(street/budgetary/realistic) potential is wasted.
@@sterlingroberts6240 I realize its a concept that would take some time to sink in, but the fact that we use torque and hp separately now suggest that the market is very receptive to assimilating numbers that sound impressive but that aren't face value meaningful.
Average power isn't a cure-all but at least its apples to apples without having to disclose the rpm range or use caveats.
Patrick Rich yeah. Because gearing can vary so wildly, what we really need is at least a rough approximation of the dyno chart with information on average power made during the two main driving styles(as I see it).
Think of the BRZ: it has rather high power at low RPM(for a high-revving NA 2.0L), from about 2,000 until 3,300, and again, rather high power(for a not excessively peaky NA 2.0L) from 4,600-7,000.
If you’re driving with fuel economy in mind, 2,000-3,300 is an important place to know average power, because if average power is high, and you only request low power, the engine just doesn’t inject as much fuel, giving you better fuel economy. Win.
If you’re putting your thing in it, 4,600-7,000 is quite wide of a power band, and average power there is what matters to THAT driver.
Full disclosure: I actually appreciate the so-called dip in the BRZ because I see it for what it is. Pick a driving “mode” and shift around it, or buy an automatic. You’ll get more of everything on both sides for your “trouble.”
Sorry for the tangent, but yeah, average power is a pretty awesome concept, though luxury cars(flat torque curve) will probably always have the win here.
This.
Power/torque graphs from idle to redline are actually quite useful for that. The area under the curve tells you a lot about an engine's true capability, and the graph distribution tells you what the best use case would be for said engine.
Nice job as always; you never disappoint Jason. Thank you for making these videos.
My 1989 Chevy Silverado had a 350 c.i. engine with 210 hp @4,000 rmp, and 300 pf of torque @2,800 rpm.

That same diesel engine in the silverado gets 33 mpg highway. Anyways it's nice to see a diesel truck engine in one of your videos rather than just performance gas engines. Maybe cover that new powerstroke with 1050ftlbs of torque
The GMC has its Peak Torque at highway speeds , which is excellent.
That engine also has a rear timing set and belt driven oil pump(also at the rear of engine) in which the belt is bathe in oil.... brilliant engineering....not
@@8100machinist For that reason alone I would not want this truck. Who wants to pull the tranny to change a belt?
@@darrellhay Ford Fiesta Ecoboost engine has similar setup but the belt isn't scheduled maintenance item... So more difficult to get at but hopefully less/no need to get at it.
Belt is rated for 150,000 miles. Honestly I would rather pull a trans than the whole front engine apart to get the front cover off. It might be great or it might be terrible, maybe we should all wait before we condemn new tech.
Love the torque vs power portion of the vid, simple but informative.
What a great and simple explanation of hp vs torque! It was really helpful for me, I finally fully get it :)
Man , I've owned Merc v6 and Bmw i6 engines. On BMW they start being interesting engines, since they put duble vanos. Because the old ones the had smoothes but no low end torque. And that's reeely a sweet a engine.
The Merc... what will the maintenance cost when the delicate components start to age. I have their M104 (i6, 1997) still running strong at 260,000 Kms. But I won't blame Merc, they're testing interesting tech, and when the smoke clears, perhaps one of those techs will become mainstream. But I'm not in the mood to be a paying beta tester.
This is the worry with any of these engines really. High tech solutions and high tech costs. I know with the duramax people are already starting to worry about what its going to cost to replace the belt on the backside of the engine that runs the oil pump.
Patrick Rich We should never buy used premiums just because they are cheap. Either lease it for 3 years, or do your research and buy ONLY the used models which has been proven over time.
I've got a 1995 C280 with the M104 2.8 i6. Apart from the head gasket, throttle and engine wiring loom, they're easily the strongest engines Merc have ever made. Easy to maintain and with mods or just ECU tuning, they can make ALOT of power. Power delivery has to be the most subtle and smoothest you've ever felt, right??
There won’t be another generation of ICE engines likely.
@@S1lverArr0w Awesome choice! I'm a big fan of the 2012+ M156 motors, they are pretty strong and smooth also. I wouldn't say subtle though :)
I think Jason you are the only person to say cars are complicated👍.
This complication keeps me in a job! I just wish that the people who own these vehicles understand how complex they can be. This is why the repair bills are high.
The car is probably the most complex machine most people own.
That crack about a "tool" is just one of the many reasons you are a great youtuber. Excellent vid.
The outstanding IL6 engine of 2020 is BMW's B57D30C 3L quad-turbo diesel. It produces 400PS (394 hp) and 760 Nm (561 lb-ft) torque - more power and a lot more torque than any of the engines featured here for the same displacement. I'm guessing it's not featured here because it's not available in the US?
BMW makes some amazing i6 diesels as well

The BMW staying upahead in a drag race I find the Holyghost fellowshipping with me about during my first year in college pertaining to a drag race and it's two lanes being prophetic for the left membrane and the right membrane. This in me pursuing a BA in Psychology. Terrill TC!
These motors remind me of the last days of aircraft piston engines. Turbo-compound radials had terrific efficiency but they were huge complex maintenance nightmares. You're going to need graduate engineers to keep these things running. And you can't trust most graduate engineers with a wrench.
That B58 must be a great engine! Their putting them in the Lexus now. You go BMW
They are really good engines.
Well done Jason - clear, concise and valuable.
Excellent presentation, Jason👍
My absolute favorite is the inline-6 cylinder diesel engine by BMW in the 30d, 40d and 50d models
if you go by wikipedia, it also features injection pressures of 2500 bar (as does the current I6 Diesel of Mercedes not just the Silverado engine mentioned in the video)
50d has 4 turbo’s these days, its a mess if one blows (and it will)
@@tubejorrit not really if driven right. Number one rule, change fcking oil at least every 15k km.
@@RustyHeartsTOV BMW gives an oil change interval every 30k km according to the manual. Not everyone is a car enthousiast or mechanic so most of the cars dont get that 15k oil change so my previous statement is correct, most of the turbo's will fail.
Hey Jason, could you do a vídeo about aerodynamics of the air passing throw the engine?. There are quite a few phenomenoms happening so I think it could be interesting!
Damn good breakdown and comparison, well done.
Love these videos, very informative even for someone who knows a bit about the subjects, thank you and keep up the great work :-)
4:47 Jeremy told me that already but thanks. Btw you forgot speed.
speed as in rpm?
My 35 year old BMW m20 still running strong today in 2020 lol
Thanks once again for the videos! I think the only-open-throttle has to do more with response than with efficiency. It seems to me the only thing you do is removing pumping losses from the throttle and adding them to the valves.
Regarding the drag race, if you want all engine to hold a gear to certain vehicle speed, your gear ratios are proportional to the desired shift speeds. So a vehicle with twice the redline speed had twice the torque multiplication due to the transmission and is also operating at twice the engine speed for a given vehicle speed (at least in first gear)
Gracias por la información!! Saludos desde España 🇪🇸

And I bet you paid a premium for that motor.
Wish Jeep would offer more motor options for the Wrangler. The 3.6 pentastar is okay but if someone has the money why not offer it.
Paul Evanson and GM killed that motor not long after they created it. It seemed like it had such promise; I wonder how GM screwed it up
Guess they saw the reliability potential and got scared, it wasn’t going to be good for their parts & labor department lol so they started making crappier planned obsolescence engines after the death of it

“Power is what matters”. Didn’t you make a video about how everybody is too concerned about horsepower?

I don't like how they're called 2020's best engines because _we just started_ 2020.
It's kind of ultimately meaningless like "Car of the Year". More interesting would be best engines of 2014, where after 5 years how have they proved themselves.

Jason, I wish you would get the specific fuel consumption graphs for the engines you are talking about. AS I am sure you know, they are fantastic documents that can really tell you a lot about the real efficiency of one engine design and the next and help us all see the differences as well as the most efficient RPMs to run your engine at. I find that they are usually available for industrial engines but virtually impossible to get for automotive engines. It would be so interesting to look at the FCA Pentastar engine over its lifespan and see how the improvements have helped the efficiency and power improve. Anyhow, perhaps some car company will make them available to you.

In Europe where I live there's inline 6 turbo diesel engines used in a lot of lorries and trucks. They use Adblue, which in USA is called diesel exhaust fluid, to reduce nitrogen oxides. Could you do a video about how it works maybe? Of cause also let me know if you know Euro 6, which is Europe emissions standards.
Adblue is a mixture two thirds deionized water and one third urea which is injected into the exhaust to reduce NOx emissions
Detailed chemistry below
When injected first water evaporates
And urea(NH2)2CO
Turns into ammonia NH3 and isocyanic acid HNCO
Then the isocyanic acid reacts with the water vapour to create more ammonia and CO2
Finally the ammonia reactes with NOx and oxygen to create nitrogen and water.

Most corporations do. It's quite possible to be sued for under-delivering what you claim, but not likely for over-delivering.
dont forget it is just a car lol
wheres the barra?
Hey Jason I was wondering which of the two following scenarios was better for brake longevity. Assume that you have to come to a stop in a known distance, such as a stop sign.
1. Start braking early and lightly to ease to a stop.
2. Engine brake for as long as possible, then hit the brakes to come to a stop while being reasonable.
I know #2 is technically less safe, but the question is essentially comparing time vs intensity of braking for brake pad life.
Fantastic video to satisfy the engineering nerd rumbling within! One note on the graphic you used in a previous episode and again here at minute 6:35 of the video. The graphic displayed in blue to indicate Stroke dimension of a cylinder is placed close enough to the center point of the diameter of the cylinder, that it may for a second be confused as dimensioning the radius of the cylinder. For new learners, it may cause a few seconds of confusion (admittedly things should clear up further into the video). Just a thought to scoot it to one side so that there is no possible confusion, as since this is an explainer video, if it can potentially be explained more clearly, even a little bit, why not? Really trying not to sound like a smug annoyance, just thought it could be helpful. Now I'm off to watch the other linked videos you have in the description :) Great work! Also, congratulations and much success to your marriage :)
I have been so sick of explaining to people on this torque nonsense. Most just don't get it and insist on high torque = best acceleration.
Torque is the actual twisting force. That's where it all starts. POWER is a measure of several formulaic factors, including time and distance. Power is a more inclusive factor, makes more tangible sense to people. Torque is a factor some of us prefer to know, because it usually applies to low RPM situations.
Take a whimpy torque motor and spin it to 20,000 rpm and you can get immense work done, but it doesn't punch you in the backside off the line. It's less satisfying until everything is screaming many seconds later.

Far too kind, thank you! :)
greetings from algeria
Useful torque in a specific rpm range is what it's about. Seriously I can hardly remember the handful of times taking my V6 merc over 4,000rpm. Driving in a big city doesn't give you that opportunity and on the highway I set the cruise control. Next car is diesel. My ducati is the one that puts a smile on my dial
Hey uh Jason, great video btw.
You think you could do a "What's Inside CURRENT F1 Engines" video?
I think it would be interesting to learn about all the new hybrid stuff with MGU-K or MGU-H they got going on in there, or how do they do their turbo setups.
Would be cool af though.
All i can think of is Jeremy Clarkson shouting "POWWWEEEERRRRRR!!!!" when Jason said power is the only thing that matters
258 cid 4.0L used in Jeeps. Those who know, know.
Or the leaning tower of power Super 225 slant six
258 ci is more like 4.2L
Nah. I owned a few of those slow, rattle-box engines. No go for me.
very sophisticate engine design, impressive.
after watching Jason's videos, i became a fan if this layout
There's only 'one' inline 6 petrol engine, the Barra!
Just an aussie engine nothing more lol
The power / torque drag race story means nothing without the gearbox spec.
What stops him from generalizing those? The entire race was determined by the engine numbers because in reality you're pitting a diesel truck against a trackable street car and a rich soccermom's daily driver in a 1/4 mile.
Your torque vs power discussion is accurate, but we don’t drive around at high rpm, the higher torque at lower rpm makes for better drivability as the engine responds now without having to downshift 2 or 3 gears.
I own a BMW I6 N57 Diesel engine and this thing is smooth as butter. 90k miles on it. Knock on wood, not one repair..
You're too early. I would like you to compare the new Hyundai's 3L I6 which was just release with the genesis gv80 today haha
Hyundai: Korean word for cow manure that spontaneously catches fire.
AlanTheBeast100 yep, that used to be true!
In the end it's not an I6, just another V6, like their other engines.
@@sterlingroberts6240
Still is given the number of Hyundai's that have gone up in flames in 2019...
AlanTheBeast100 why not cite the number?
idk how many times i heard "turbocharger" in this short amount of time
Should be a drinking game
It is mostly a "turbocharger" video. Kinda' seems right.
@@brechtthebest the whole channel is a drinking game then 😁😂
Too many, unless its a diesel it shouldn't need a turbo.
Thank you for fixing the typo at 3:15 lol
It’s facts I raced a 2021 GMC Sierra pulling from a light in my 2003 325ci stock automatic, and I over took the GMC while it was switching gears I was shocked about the torque the truck had but ,, but i was thrilled with how strong the engine my 2003 bmw Has to overtake such a modern truck 😅😅amazing
BMW S54B32 doesn't need turbo's to scream.
I felt like mine needed more torque down low :)
Best straight-6 engine ever made!
Bring back the 300 straight six from Ford very good all around motor..
Would be nice to see Ford update the design and use it again but they probably can't considering current politics in that company seem to be leaning toward electric vehicles.
So very interesting.
Awesome video considering I am interested in buying an M40i Z4
