BMW B58 Problems to Expect - Engine Reliability

  • BMW B58 has been making BMW great for almost a decade now and no doubt, it has been a great engine. However, as any piece of high end automotive technology, there are problems and reliability concerns. In this video, I go over the problems you could expect when buying a BMW car with the BMW B58 engine as well as symptoms and possible fixes. I've also have personal experience with this engine in my BMW X7 which I talk about towards the end of the video. Some of the common issues on the B58 engine include issues with valve cover gasket, excessive coolant loss, oil pump, oil filter failure and VANOS solenoids. A lot of these issues have carried over from the N54 and N55 engines, but luckily not nearly as common.

    I think a lot of these issues today are being engineered in by design cost, like plastic covers, water pumps etc, we know they have a much shorter shelf life and can’t hold up to a decade of extreme heat cycles and subsequent gasket leaks. The best engineered cars are behind us today, it’s a great shame.

      Not crapping on it at all! As I said in the video, it’s a great engine. However, it does have issues and if we stay informed, we may be able to prevent some of those issues or at least be on a look out so a small issues doesn’t cause a lot of damage

    The fix for the coolant consumption are insane and not true. Most of these issues are correct but my car has 0 oil and coolant consumption and 0 blow by. A lot of BMW problems can be avoided by learning about your engine and being proactive with maintenance. Also didn’t mention PCV which is also a problem for most untouched b58s

      Darn, I don’t have towing, that was hard to find in 2019. I DO have a whining noise when the vehicle is warmed up and low speeds whining. They replaced the front differential and no improvement. Also, I noticed I cannot do the oil measurement as it has an error just before 20%.
      The whining is from the front, I’m hoping not oil pump 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

    I was raving about this engine as well but if they wanted to take heat insulation seriously then they wouldn't use an aluminum block. An iron block (as seen with 2JZ) would probably be the solution to every problem.

      Tell us you're stupid enough to pay someone else over $100/hour to work on your car without telling us, bro.
      These engines are made for automotive enthusiasts. Unfortunately, they are also sold to elitist schmucks like yourself who use them as a status symbol then complain about reliability any time basic maintenance has to be performed.
