I Gave My 4 Cylinder B48 BMW 500HP + Reliability!

[@thlee3]

this is the exact kind of tutorial i look for. no nonsense. monotone. no music. no b-roll. fast paced facts.

[@postalpancho]

You sir are now traveling down a dark road which I cannot follow….. until I’m out of warranty. I really hope you keep this car and daily the car so that we can see how the reliability holds up.

[@VehicularDIY]

I plan on keeping this car for years, I bought it deliberately as I had an M340i and G80 and liked aspects of those cars but wanted good fuel economy and practicality. Most of these are just getting old enough where they are falling out of warranty.

We achieved close to that on a stock motor adding only ethanol petrol mix and a Mosselman front mounted chargecooler + custom mapping. Stock turbo. It spins wheels in 4th and 5th on highway. Once you run on Ethanol mix they are rapid.

[@hectorherbert6585]

on a large & modern turbo set-up I installed on my 5 cyl Volvo 850 R..I was advised by the Precision Turbo guys to install a plate size fan pointed at the turbo set-up (from a Porsche 911 surge fans) to optimize cooling on demand with a heat sensor & gage and a 2 minutes timer to keep on cooling after the car is shut-off ,avoiding 'heat sink' under that hood as much as possible ,especially during summer or when stuck in traffic...a hood extractor louver above the turbo set-up is not too much either..I remember a precious advice from Chip Foose at a tuner's convention in NY..'no matter what your project is the success & reliability of your engine build is cooling & heat control'...keep that heat away from that engine bay'.....!!

[@r.weaver3769]

Why are you the only one I see removing the Turbo from the top, when it appears it's so much easier than removing cats, motor mount and flange, etc...and dropping out the bottom? I was in a quandary between My 14' E350 Benz, or a 13' BMW 528i, Read reviews, repairs, watched repair videos and ultimately chose the Benz based off what I'd found. I know I made the right choice now based on how things progressed, but at the time I really wanted the BMW, my last BMW a 98' E39, I love'd tinkering with it, always fixing and rebuilding things and enjoying long trips. As my health now prevents such activity, the tinkering part, I'm forced to pay for services, and limit driving to medical centers. Hopefully that changes, I'm only 63. And BMWs are my passion, my first cars were old Benzes people gave up on, but once I got a Bimmer in trade for some work... Please keep up these videos, they are a great service.

[@VehicularDIY]

I've had to do it from below but on this car there is so much room that it's possible to do most of the job from above, easiest car I've changed a turbo on. I've done it from above on the N20 like on the 528i you mentioned, this was on a 328i so I'd imagine it should be a similar experience on that as it has a pretty open engine bay. Yes I had the same warning from my cousin when I was looking at E30s, now 16 years later I haven't owned any other brand. Wishing you health for the occasional tinkering just as a hobby.

[@TedsApex]

Love the boldness and your willingness to do something other's dismiss. When I had my 330i F30 it honestly impressed me that a 4 banger can do what it does stock. I always tell people if they are happy with 400HP wheel then go get a B48/B46 and tune/mod it. It is important to recognize not everyone wants a gas guzzler B58 on tune and DP.

[@SonnyVisual]

stock for stock, the b48 uses just as much fuel, if not more then the b58.

[@VehicularDIY]

I’d say the B48 uses 4 to 5 less mpg overall from my experience

[@TedsApex]

@@SonnyVisual I've owned a b48 and now have a b58 and the b48 definitely uses less fuel. The B48 is an economy engine with the way it's tuned from factory but is almost just a b58 with two cylinders cutoff. 48 stock was getting 24-27 MPG but my 58 stock was getting 20-22 MPG ish.

[@VehicularDIY]

@@TedsApex yeah my car fluctuates between 27.7 and 27.8 mpg average. With the B58 you could really bring your average up if you drive mostly on the highway but as soon as you mix in city driving it drops hard. So you're doing well if you're getting 22 to 23 mpg average and if you hypermile on the highway you could probably get it closer to 25 mpg which is impressive but if you want to mindlessly drive and put your foot into it often that is where the B48 delivers another 5mpg average. If you're filling up 4 times a month and getting 60 to 80 more miles per tank that's like getting a free tank of gas a month vs the B58.
