A really nice engine...Have it in my BMW 128ti 265BHP and 400nm, more than quick, great auto box which was a surprise..and such a nice interior,,,having a lot of fun with this car.
Agree 💯, I've got the B48 in my 2017 1-series. With a little tickle its around 260hp and 410nm of torque. It's very light because it misses the 2 cylinders up front. Absolute blast to drive. 20 seconds to 200kph / 120 mph. And breezed to 240+ kph / 150+ mph on the Autobahn.
@12Music72 Not really if u compare numbers. I drive it's as a daily with 100k km on now and I have to say it's pretty cheap still as a performance car. It depends on where u live I guess. In Germany insurance is fine, not really more then for an regular 1series. If u drive daily calm on the pedal, u get like 8-10l per 100 km. That's around the same as the 48. Service isn't really more expensive either. Just bring ur own oil to the deal and u be cheaper on. Also the value on the 140 gonna hold up much better, as its the last 6 cylinder 1 series.
@hettmannsperger42 it is if you compare numbers lmao. That's why I decided to go for the 4-pot for now. Next car will be a 3 or 5 series with the B58. The numbers in my case are as follows: road tax and insurance are 30% more expensive. And my mileage is more like 6,0-8,0 L /100km. Which is €1000 in fuel more per year..
I was loaned by BMW dealership a 230i when my M235i was getting M exhaust installed. I could have sworn that I liked 230i better than M235i. Cz it felt so light sure it was missing the 320hp and 350 trq But there was something about 230i
@BIGLOVE4TRUTH some 230i xdrive has M package. Did you test drive M240i or previous gen M235i?? I wanted to know your opinion on the difference??? I think for everyday use age 230i more fun, but inline 6 turbo power of M235i/240i is addicting
@@CorlosMazdareplace it with an aluminum one and the b58 will have the same plastic issues. Honestly I think the g20 330i is the best bang for buck cause it gets better mpg and you can make 400+ hp with a turbo, downpipe and tune. I have a b58 and im honestly thinking ab trading it in for a 330 💀 weighs the same has better handling characteristics and gets better mpg. B58 is cool but the timing chain redesign on the b48tu has sold me tbh.
I mean it's okay. But it's not as good as the ea888.3/4. This b48 engine is not as reliable as the VW engine and costs more to maintain and repair. The king of 4 cylinder engines is the MB cla amg45 engine
My 320i LCI has 238k miles ,not even a single drop of oil has dropped,and even my exhaust is clean,..also I've never had any problems with it,.. only a sparkplug change at 197k
Holy sh*t. Haven't seen this guy since he was in his 335. Nice to see you're still around and making vids. Cheers.
Welcome back and thank you for the support!

its nothing compared to the m140 b58. But yea for a 4 pot its fine.
@hettmannsperger42 I know, I looked at the 140i as well. It's just a lot more expensive as a daily..

Have to agree, have a BMW 128ti in the UK, 265BHP and 400nm more than enough and great performance. Addictive as hell and a great chassis to boot.
Audi's longitudinal EA888 has been around even longer and is fantastic 2.0T engine.
may be considered as an underrated powertrain in US but not in Europe. Highly tuned cars with this 4 banger can reach 175-180 mph on german autobahns
K20C6 is an underrated engine.
I got a M135i F40 Stage 3 (IPOS IM450 turbo) - love my little hatch!
What Happend to ur old RUclips channel?

I have a 2020 230i convertible with the rare M package. I’ve never seen another one with the M.

Love my 2020 230i track pack
What do u think about the bmw 330i g20 b48 engine
more reliable yes, but harder to crack and get anything tuned out of
What about all the plastic??
BMW with a b48 and b58 have Forged materials from stock
@@twola9027think he’s talking about all the plastic cooling lines/fittings/“thermostat”/ oil filter housing/etc etc
The expensive valve cover that needs to be replaced every 40k because of the pcv
The plastic oil filter housing that when fails grenades your motor

there's another german... the m139... not sure about its reliability...
The best 4cyl. out there.
LOL A45S? Or even the Golf R's EA888 gen3 is better, a mear stage 1 gets it to 360 hp...
@@mbardos Did you even watch this video Bozo?
They can be reliable… But what a disaster to maintain and work on!! I don’t think they will reach 200k+ like the old n/a bmw engines.
