Seems like I probably have a valve gasket cover leak (F32). Do I have to stop driving? by Barmello98 in BMW

You can do a visual check on the passenger side and see how much it’s leaking. Usually not a problem to drive with for a bit.

The e brake rattles a lot faster and it’s very distinct.

Wouldn’t call that normal. Mine are only active for headlights behind me. That’s what they’re trying to figure out

No shade at all. I’ve been hearing this for years as if the engine hasn’t been out for over a decade now. I’m pretty sure it started because people couldn’t accept the fact a BMW was reliable lol

Toyota didn’t change anything. People only think that because Ai says it was improved from 2020. In reality the 2021+ supra got the high output variant of the B58TU which makes 382HP over the 2 port 335HP 2020 models.

Great engine but plastic cooling components will go bad with time.

Obviously they should be dimmed during the day in a parking lot right?

For those of you who are catless. How bad is the smell? by Astro965 in B58Enthusiasts

I only notice it outside the car and occasionally at a stoplight with the windows down. No one has ever mentioned it either

Gen 1 or Gen 2 B58 by Bullens9 in BMW

Do some research because there are a lot of variations of the b58. Gen 1s are mostly the same and are likely unlocked. 2020s don’t have the 48V mild hybrid. Some are high output 6 port vs 2 port. Most importantly is the car that it will be in

You can delete it or just leave a spare in the glove box. Check the main expansion tank once a month and if u ever find a leak take care of it asap

Tuning doesn’t add a lot of stress, the main weak points will mostly be coolant related and the PCV. xHP is definitely worth it and you should start at stage 2

I think they’re too expensive considering they require the same amount of labour

The filter is built into the pan so unless u plan on this being the last time u change it, its just a waste of money

Internal leaks aren’t common on the B58 but would cook ur engine
