The gaskets are the weak point, and labor the same, regardless. What a pain, upgraded gaskets, better rubber/silicon, should come from the factory.

@sms4hou676 4 месяца назад

Also, plastic does stop the heat, it slows it. Thermal Conductivity is lower, but it will reach the same equilibrium... and in fact the aluminum should respond to cooling and heating better, the question is what did the engineers assume when they designed flow.... plastic of course.

Ive had the aluminum version for 7 months. I think i was the first with a b58 to do it. No issues so far, wish i wouldve seen people say to swap the spring before putting it on 😂 I did however swap all gaskets and the oil cooler.

I have the aluminum oil filter with over 500 miles so far no issues so far, it is holding pressure as intended. I posted it on the fb forums. I didn’t have any cracks on my plastic oil housing but had a nice oil buildup at the bottom of the filter as you described on yours. I had 165k miles before it went

@davewallace9048 4 месяца назад

On the n54 motor, BMW factory gaskets are now made in Japan, which are much better quality and hold up much longer than the aftermarket gaskets!! but of course we’re talking about aluminum instead of plastic!!

@ericocampo7028 4 месяца назад

Another great video sir. I guess were now waiting for owners to start hitting higher mileage to determine how widespread of a problem this can be. Given this looks like more of a BMW design issue rather than plastic usage one, do you think that overall, the B58 is still a highly reliable engine? Things like tracking the car would accelerate the failure of the OFHG?

@basicsay2909 4 месяца назад

I think as a whole the b58 is still a very reliable engine, but like most bmw tubo i6 engines, all the plastic around it just starts to get old and brittle. I definitely would say its a plastic usage issue, especially because bmw engines run warmer than other engines

@CamjProductions 3 месяца назад

A shop quoted me $2,311 to replace the oil filter housing for it. Don’t even know if they were going to go with an aluminum one or the plastic OEM one. Getting delivery of my 340 this week so prayers for me lmao it’s coming in with 54k miles complete bone stock 2018. Passed pre purchase inspection with flying colors but praying this shit holds out for a while

@Viperoloff01 4 месяца назад

@The2ndKrezzz3 3 месяца назад

@chriskamen2152 4 месяца назад

would replacing it with the aluminum housing and adding silicone to the gaskets make it MUCH better?

@kern417 4 месяца назад

i'm not sure you could do that properly. i would just recomend using oem gaskets at a minimum

@CosminRotaru 4 месяца назад

Maybe the space there (instead off flat mount) assures they there's no water-oil mixture in case off gaskets failure. Liquids just drip outside...

@kern417 4 месяца назад

no it's to save money while retaining structural integrity. for example look at the design of the intake manifold.

@CosminRotaru 4 месяца назад

Hi kern, I just bought an m140i and I have error codes 120308 120408 (air pressure) and 180001 catalyst performance too low. The car had a powertrain problem warning light on the dashboard. I just bought it and it takes 10 seconds to get up to 60MPH. However, the engine runs well, no audible air leaks, no smoke from the exhaust, no excess consumption. No oil leaks, no unstable rpm idling. The only thing is that by sending a pressure setpoint of 2 bars (load test) the sensor only measured 1 bar. We manage to activate the wastegate on the computer. Do you have a little idea? BMW suggests that we change the plastic hose which is just after the MAF flow meter which goes to the turbo because it is not waterproof. However, we exchanged it for 30 minutes with that of a friend and no difference. Thank you so much

Did you like visually see the leakage? I’m losing coolant can’t seem to find it….

@Samuelsam60 4 месяца назад

There is a common issue with b58's where the coolant cap will be causing an issue with coolant getting through and evaporating over time. Look for some white dust looking stuff inside and where the cap goes, this will be an indicator that you need to replace the cap. Look it up yourself as well. Cheers!

@kern417 4 месяца назад

yeah i didn't see mine but i could smell it while driving. i think a lot of it dripped and either evaporated or got soaked into the under tray

Aluminum, Aluminium, doesn't matter which way you spell it or pronounce it, the guy who coined the word first called it aluminum: English chemist Sir Humphry Davy named the metal, deriving the name from the mineral called alumina. This name was taken from the French, who had based it on alum, a white mineral that had been used since ancient times for dyeing and tanning. The only reason it's different now is because all the dictionaries were made by the Britain's and they couldn't even figure out which way to spell it. So we had like 4 different dictionaries all saying different things for the same word.
