Kudos to you for doing your basic maintenance on the B58. I'm no pro or amateur mechanic but can do lots of basics myself. Have worked on my Volvo, Acura, MB, Audi and now BMW. The main issue I ( & im sure others too) have is space to do some tasks; tools; another person to help with some tasks and most importantly, sometimes stuff breaks and you get stuck on a project. Also, when doing repairs for the 1st time it usually takes 2-3 longer than seen on DIY videos...😢
Thanks for the video. The removal of the cabin filter cover would have been informative for 1st timers like me. Overall, you helped see it's not a daunting task. Great job. Thanks!
I'm thinking about swapping my g21 330d for an x3 m40i. The x3 got twice the milage (90k Km) of my g21( 41k Km) but has more options fitted. B58's are reliable too so there should be no Problem i guess. What do you all think? 🤔
So most plugs come pre-gapped. Typically you’ll have to gap them if your car requires a different gap. For example, when my 435i was stage 2, I needed to gap the spark plugs lower because the car was tuned
What's your thoughts on buying a B58 around 70-80k? I'm trying to decide if the cost is worth it, and frankly, it seems like it is. Drove one the other day with super low miles and it seemed worth the 52 asking lol. Question is - does that carry over to the 30k price range
Mine is at about 42k miles or so I believe and it’s holding on strong! Can’t speak personally for 80k miles but I’ve heard nothing but good things about the B58. Especially if you’re not going to tune it which I’ve noticed is where some people tend to have issues later on
@@sma013 sorry lol I replied to the wrong comment… That video was for someone else. Unfortunately I don’t have a video showing it but message me on instagram, I’ll send you pics where you can find it
Ive been owning bmw since the eighties and theyve actually gotten way more unreliable over the years imho. My wife's F10 is a shitbox on wheels. Im used to doing regular maintenance trust me I have a flawless Mini N18 engine running over 100k no issues, but when I have to remove an entire front end to replace headlights, or hours of labor to replace a simple cv axle, ya Im good. Switching away from BMWs for good, their over engineered junk to me at this point, way too much ecu bs.
You cannot treat an expensive German car like it’s a Toyota or Honda! 😂. German cars and suvs are much higher performance that domestic and imports. So STAY ON TOP OF THE THE MAINTENANCE OF GERMAN SUVS AND CARS ALL!!
The B58 is a beast and so far there hasn’t been any real complaints about this engine from the majority of owners so far… However, if you aren’t changing your oil every 3k you are definitely asking for problems
You are definitely doing unnecessary oil changes at 3k intervals....my indie mechanic who services most high end euro bands, uses Mutol oil and suggests 5-7k intervals. I do 6k personally, so 2x per year.
