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?
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.

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.

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 UA-cam 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.

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
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.
I wonder if there are any aftermarket metal parts upgrade to the stock plastic
So is a gen 1 with a tu pump and e50 tune just as powerful as a gen 2 with a e50 tune ?
Me 1stockf30 vs Mr no hesi m340 race kinda express the difference, I'll just get gen 1 because hesi be multiple issues
Kern, how to know if I have the higher or lower compression version of the TU?
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.

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!

Yes but if you're keeping your stock turbo then you will need methanol or ethanol
If i have B58c ? Is it good?
Is a 10 second quarter mile time possible with the g30? I'm looking at cars between 2017 and 2020 that are xdrive. I would need a TU pump, downpipe & turbo? Thanks for making these videos!
Yes with an ethanol mix
What year would a 540i have the b58tu engine ?
None Tu are reserved for M-light models.
Incorrect. Newer 540 have the TU engine.

@@kern417 they have the B58C / B58M1 still a tu I guess
Yes, B58C and B58D are both TU.
Where can I find out what type of engine I have in my 2022 M440?
It is a B58TU
Thank you Brotha I really appreciate you & your knowledge
I hope you respond to this do you think it’s possible to swap a gen 2 b58 into a f30 ??
Probably
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
May i ask you about b58tu sir how many ethanol that stock tu pump can handle sir right now i run on e60 custom tune is it too much sir ? My tuner is navardi sir
It can support any amount of ethanol with an appropriate tune
@@kern417 hello sir may i ask you sir i got 130716 code on my m340i then the car go to lime mode after that i check with diagnostic and it show “vanos exhaust control fault camshaft jam” did you got this code before sir so which part i need to check first sir🥺 i run with e60 bm3 around 500whp sir today when i go back from work and i pull hard many time but this time doesn’t have any code and any limp mode sir😢
@@turk1998 swap the actuator from intake to exhaust side and see if the code moves
Now my rpm is a bit swing brother it’s around720-820rpm is it normal sir? and if they are broken what it make vanos actuator broke sir now i use engine oil 5w30 is it too thin sir
Did you swap the actuator from intake to exhaust
what's 2024 x3 m40i have?
So my 2018 340i isn’t a 6 port ?
They are both 6 port, one just has lower compression
@@workvasegod8276 ok 👍🏾
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
What cars have the 6 port b58 tu? Is it all the g series ms
Yes gseries only
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
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.
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?
So for my 2020 m340i she would be a b58tu ?
Correct
Any idea if anyone is working on a gen2 HPFP upgrade?
not really something being worked on. ua-cam.com/video/SIjkjn_kdXg/v-deo.html
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
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.
How do you know if you have a TU version
ua-cam.com/video/u-eE8v6ZxF0/v-deo.html
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.
Does a 2020 440i have a gen2 b58?
no
What about a 2020 g01?
How does the S58 compare?
More fuel, more capacity for power on stock turbos, but uogrades are more expensive
I just picked up a 2021 540i LCI even tho its gen 1 i don’t car i love the b58👑🔝☝🏻I just added a exhuast cutout valve and it sounds amazing
Hi . i want to buy a g30 540i LCI too . Your 2021 540i have the OPF right ? does it sound good with cat back and stay with the original Catal?
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.
@@kern417 k
Thx
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.

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
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 UA-cam 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.
