BMW B58B30O0 Engine

This motor is primarily distinguished by its housing, which is made of carbon fiber and aluminum. This helps to reduce the weight of the engine by up to 100 kilograms. Lightweight powertrains are suitable for many cars, and the body architecture is not even important here. This helps to balance and distribute the weight properly. The unit has 6 cylinders and is quite powerful. In addition, it is highly productive, this is facilitated by its manufacturability and precision parts. The features of the design are indirect class cooling and air inflation system, improved fuel exhaust and intake system, paired Vanos, stabilized purpose crankshaft.

A series of such engines in general have long been equipped with a huge amount of electrical equipment. There was an automated system for control, which helped to adjust the oil pump, gasoline supply system and cooling system. This made it possible to reduce fuel consumption and improve engine performance without compromising other parameters. The functions did not overload the powertrain and did not overheat it.

The volume of this apparatus is equal to 3 liters. It emits gas in the amount of 159 to 204 grams per kilometer. The maximum power here ranges from 326 to 360 horsepower. Maximum torque is 500 N*m at 4800 rpm. Cylinder diameter here is from 82 to 89.6 millimeters. Also in the engine there are 4 valves on each cylinder. Piston stroke, depending on the circumstances, can vary from 84 to 94.6 millimeters. And here the compression ratio is set at 10.2.

In general, all the above-described series constantly works on fuel with a high octane number. Gasoline is used at least 95 brand, if the worst fuel is used – there will be cylinder detonation, which will reduce the life of the engine. On average, gasoline consumption will be 8.9 liters per 100 kilometers in urban conditions and around 6.5 liters per 100 kilometers on the highway. The technical fluid should also be filled with an exceptionally high quality. 5W-40 or 5W-30 excellent will help cars with this motor. Every 7 thousand kilometers of distance it is necessary to change the liquid and flush the system for long use. On average, it is consumed in the amount of 700 grams per 1000 kilometers. The VIN number will be stamped on the front of the crankcase. If the serial code is located in another part of the engine, it is not original and is most likely forged.

Engine specifications B58B30O0

Advantages

The manufacturer has made the engine very reliable, and the series stands out with this advantage among other competitors. The assembly used is of quite high quality, and the flexibility of tuning with the help of programs makes it possible to calibrate the engine for all styles and ways of driving in the world. Complete with the motor from the factory, with proper and timed maintenance with care, there are almost no downsides. Some drivers are very flattering about this invention and recommend it to their mates.

Disadvantages

There are only minor downsides that sometimes occur with single cases. Chipping on the cylinders is due to the aluminum case and carbon fiber inserts. All these parts can crack during overheating of the powertrain or in an amateur tuning atmosphere.

Compression is lost when the sealing gaskets are ruptured. This is caused by rapid engine heating and regular use of the machine at high speeds. Increased gasoline consumption is caused by poor-quality electrical equipment and failures in its operation. To correct this problem, you need to reset all the gasoline supply settings in a similar system, and also change the turbine control to the factory setting. You still need to properly tune the ignition, this will help extend the life of the car and the engine.

The whole series of course has a good warranty and in cases of complex problems, the driver should contact the official masters in the service station. This will help to avoid aggravation of problems and quickly bring the vehicle back to life.

Modifications

This series of motors is new on the market, but drivers have already managed to highly appreciate and favor its models. This engine with 6 cylinders quickly became one of the leaders in the market, because it has a huge power potential and a huge service life.  The series was launched in 2015 and replaced its successful predecessors in the market. B58B30O0 has representation in fresh models from the famous auto manufacturer. It is used in the 3 series liftback with F31 or F30 bodies, the 7 series sedan with 340i, the 4 series sedan with CF32 F, the 3 series station wagon with 335i, and the 7 series extended sedan with 740I G.

The B58B30 had only the B58B30M0 engine at the start of production development, with other modifications appearing in the near future. They were released because of the need to improve the machine to the level of some cars. Technical characteristics of the above-mentioned power unit are similar to the parameters of other models of the series. But there is a difference in size and external mounting system.

B58B30O0 already in 2017 became the leader in the rating of the most reliable apparatus of the year. He presented himself to motorists as a hardy and stable auto that can be used daily. It is true that the weight of the electrical equipment and high assembly quality helps to increase the service life of some consumables at the level of 400 thousand kilometers. But the correct and accurate replacement of components and constant professional diagnostics will allow you to get much more.

Always drivers pay attention to the quality of gasoline and engine modifications consumables at the time of passing the warranty. In the case of excellent performance up to 50 thousand kilometers, the motor will serve the driver for a long time. Base B58 is suitable for family transportation, business, and sports driving enthusiasts.

Chip tuning

The engine works on the basis of direct gasoline injection and turbine operation. This allows you to expand the possibilities of tuning. To harmlessly improve the power of the device, you need to put a turbine with increased power, change the exhaust system to a model from a sports car, make the ignition stable at high power or flash the system for gasoline injection.

Boring on cylinders and changing pistons to non-native ones is prohibited. Aluminum body and carbon fiber can deform after machining. It is not allowed to increase power more than 400 hp, because the service life may be reduced and expensive repairs may be required.

This engine is installed on the following models:

BMW 1-Series (F20)

BMW 2-Series (F22)
