BMW B48 Engine: Everything You Need To Know - BMW F30 330i, G20 330i, G01 X3 xDrive30i Engine Guide

[@dominiquevanvoorhis5162]

I have a B48 with 210K miles on it. No issues so far. Finger's crossed.

Oil Filter Housing changed ? B48 TU ? or F generation ?

That's awesome! I'm a high mileage guy too. Hope mine does well.

[@williamdjunaedi2357]

120k km on mine and no issues, though i did replace my coolant expansion tank a couple of months back

Change your engine oil & coolant earlier than BMW recommends, you will be fine.

I've always been super impressed how quiet and low the NVH is on my 330 , especially when it's gear climbing at very low speeds.. a typical 4cyl would be humming and vibrating.. now I know why the b48 is so balanced! Thanks

[@djkjthe3rd185]

Its also because its turbo and has enough torque to not have to go into higher rpm, as well as a great 8spd auto trans. That being said, it’s an exceptional motor.

[@Your_mom_0-x6]

yep, the most frustrating thing BMW did is to label 2 litre 4 pathetic cylinders as supposively 3.0 6 cylinder bangers and that is why I was forced to remove 530i shield on my 5 series because it means n o t h i n g as of today

[@gabrieldan2075]

i have x3 G01 2019 252 hp with B48B20B engine; problems we had: vanos, cracked upper cooling circuit pipe; at the rest of 60,000 miles, i rebuilt the timing, changed the injectors and spark plugs and water pump; the timing was affected by a faulty oil pump that did not pump oil into the crankcase and created friction in the components. otherwise, i am extremely happy with the engine, i change the engine oil and filter at 5000 miles

[@bb5242]

you do understand how ridiculous that is, right? 60k miles is 1960s Chrysler quality.

[@schobes]

How did you figure out that the timing was off by the oil not going into the crankcase just out of curiosity?? Or was that the auto body shop that ended up doing that?

[@solidfuel0]

I'm in my 4th year of ownership of the 2dr '19 JCW and I am so glad i found this video. Very awesome presentation, and I'm glad to hear "best engine ever" when I'm intending to own this into very high mileage. Thank you for this.

[@MS-VO]

So glad I found this video. Running a B48 in a 2017 Mini Countryman S All4 and it's been faultless in my ownership. That said, it's great to know potential weak points to keep on top of the maintenance. Thanks!

[@Akiba76]

Also worth noting that the engine mounts on the TUs seem to fail relatively early (my car, g20, at 45k miles) and are extremely soft- you can easily rock the engine with your hand. Would love to see an aftermarket replacement that isn't completely solid but instead streetable

[@KameSociety]

I'm furiously taking notes 📝💨

[@kennethpartidacortes3975]

Bought a used 2019 230i M sport with 46k miles ive done its oil change intervals every 5k miles not a mile later. Beautiful car and smooth motor, now at almost 60k miles its treated me well only thing ive noticed is oil seeping from the cap light seepage but i believe its my sloppyness when filling up with oil hopefully my pcv valve treats me well 🤞

[@sassyrav]

Our 2017 230i with low kms (50K kms) is the same with the engine oil cap seeping a tiny bit of oil. We changed the cap but it didnt help. It's not a huge deal but curious to know why it's doing it. No other issues though. Serviced 6 monthly with 0W-40 and within 5K kms)

[@markfromearth4]

You both should know what is causing the seepage. The PCV valve issue was explained in this video.

[@catalinbandas]

According to the video whole plastic valves cover (with built in pcv valve) should be replaced.

[@mjb8033]

Super amazing research delivered so efficiently. The BMW engine naming convention was well done with the little graphics added. The explanation fills in the gaps on what you read on Wikipedia and other blogs. It is all combined in this well prepared video. I watched the whole thing:-) This is the most well presented FCP engine overview video yet.

[@quiksr20]

2018 x3 B48TU and just had to do the oil filter housing.. Such crap design to have to drop almost $3000 to have it fixed.. These are not maintenance items, These are core engine components that should not be failing under 100k miles. We love our X3 but come on BMW for all the German Engineering you tout you fail at such basic things which is completely due to bean counters.. Engineer the part to last the lease or the warranty, Anything extra is not a priority. Really great video btw!

[@Mp-jw1qg]

the oil filter housing is the same as the b58, wich only cost like $300 and its 8 bolts. it takes about an hour to swap in your driveway with absolutely zero previous wrenching know how and a youtube video. the "plastic" housing is STRONGER than aluminum btw. its carbon ceramic infused composite that actually just LOOKS like plastic. the aftermarket housings are all metal. if your only issue with the engine was a failed oil filter housing at 100k miles thats really good. we only work on bmws at our shop, 12 lifts, 15 bays and oil filter housing jobs are pretty rare. plenty of timing chain and other catastrophic issues though.

[@quiksr20]

@@Mp-jw1qg You might be thinking N55, B48/B58 has it in the back and the intake manifold which is also a water to air intercooler that has to be removed... Its a decent job, Even experienced BMW Indys will tell you its alot of work.

[@simplyeric12]

Currently have a 2018 F30 B48, fully optioned. One of the few cars I actually look forward to driving everyday. It's insanely reliable engine wise, but had only one true breakdown with my coolant pipe. My coolant pipe blew up, leaked, and it was on the highway. Smoke came out of the engine. Fixed it and no issues since. Other reliability issues are more of quality than anything else. Lots of unknown rattles coming from the passenger door side, and I spent endless days trying to figure out what it was, and still haven't found it.

[@nikolamasic7395]

Sound is the only thing that is way worse than it used to be with the N52 but every other thing is just miles improved. Love my B48 and I'm happy I haven't made a mistake lots of my friends did, buying F3x with N20 engine

B48 on 330i 2016, 90,000kms. Oil seeping out of oil cap and counter balance shaft seal. Had always suspected crankcase pressure from failing PCV. Glad it was mentioned here.

[@AlexNelsonFCPEuro]

We recently replaced the valve cover on mine, and it looks like the PCV system was not only forcing oil out of the oil cap, but there was oil oozing out from under the high pressure fuel pump as well. Hopefully we can create/ source an improved (ideally metal) valve cover and external PCV in the future!

Crazy to see how practically all plastic components are the ones to fail here... I own a B48 Supra and am very pleased with it. Currently at 50K Kms in 8 months as its my daily. Hopefully my valve cover won't fail as i no longer have warranty with my tune.

[@idkcool23]

I understood every other word, but so engaged! Great vid!

[@Mp-jw1qg]

the b58 block and crank is borrowed directly from the b57 diesel, the b48 is that same block with two cylinders lopped off. the b48tu got the same fueling updates and internals as the b58tu. its got the same bore and stroke as the b58 82mm bore 94.5mm stroke (massive stroker engine from factory) but will rev way higher despite the crazy piston speed. On paper the b48 is the best 4 cylinder being made today. You can easily make 7-800whp with a bone stock b48 with just cams, springs, head studs and a better gasket. we have been putting them in e36's lately and they absolutely scoot beter than any of the iron i6's from bmws past. im putting one in my e30 after xmas.

[@TheZulajin]

Wow!! what a great video. I have the M54 NA engine in my 2004 Z4- 45k miles. Sewing machine smooth NO Turbos. Just a leaking valve cover which was already replaced. Why does BMW insist on so much engine plastic. Heat and plastic are not a good match especially with a hot turbo added. If the parts you showed aren't too expensive including labor it might be a good option to buy a new 430i. I would prefer a 3.0 liter inline 6 but the M440i is quite a bit more money.

[@kotgustaw]

The B48 coolant pump in my vehicle failed at 159,000 km due to leakage at the seal between the base and the unit, specifically the one often praised for its performance (timestamp 3:40). After replacing it with a brand-new unit, the replacement pump failed within 700 km, ejecting coolant at a speed of 150 km/h. Following this incident, the system was repaired again. However, two weeks later, a leak was identified in the main radiator, necessitating its replacement alongside the coolant reservoir tank. Since these repairs, no additional issues with the cooling system have occurred. Additionally, I am experiencing a rough idle when transitioning between N/P and D/R. Engine RPM drops from approximately 700 to 500 during these transitions, accompanied by significant vibrations lasting about one second. The vehicle in question is a late 2017 BMW G30 530i xDrive, German version.

Done day plus long road trips, Track days, commuting, back road drives stock and tuned up to E85. Have 50k miles and just experienced my 2nd problem, both are my fault. The first one was an issue when I did a software update and tuned it with a locked DME, last week I snapped my axle doing launch control. But engine is rock solid and never missed a beat

I've had an engine fault code putting it into limp mode back in 2019 which resulted in a new turbo under warranty, with one month remaining of the three years warranty! But no full explanation was provided. That was at around 48k miles. I had the thin block-to-header coolant breather hose fail summer '23 at around 98k miles. The block to radiator hose and plastic spout started leaking summer '24 and was replaced. Now the internet (b48 Facebook group plus these videos generally from the USA) is making me worried about the oil filter housing! I've stuck to the manufacturer advised 20k oil service interval, so far always done at the BMW main deealers.

I believe they added the MHEV system. It improves the fuel efficiency as it helps the engine from the dead start. It also shuts down the engine if you let it coast.

Coming from driving a "big" n/a engine ( s50b32) seems (at least to me) that the b48 does actually fall off after 6k rpm. Dont get me wrong, it's a great engine and the torque curve si nice and wide from low rpm. Again i might be biased because i'm comparing apples to pears. But the fall off on the b48 is noticeable. 😇

It still sucks to see the 6 cylinder go away. Meanwhile it's heavier and costs more to make and plant into car, it's kinda like piece of BMW's history. The 6 cylinder sound, may it be diesel or gasoline, is still something marvelous. In overall it sucks to see ICE in the guillotine in favor of "emission free" single use toycars

[@Ashley_van_Schooneveld]

Those BMW engine codes confuse me. I have an N55B30M0 rated stock at 302hp and 295lb/ft of torque. This engine was tuned to MPPK which raised this to 320hp and 332lb/ft of torque. Meanwhile an F12/F13 640i have an N55B30O0 rated at 320hp and 332lb/ft of torque. To me it appears those power outputs are based on the engine's factory tuning at stock level. In fact the F12/F13 640i is one of the few models in recent years to have the "40i" designation with an N55 which many models with this engine had the "35i" designation. The "40i" became common place when the B58 started production in 2015

I also noticed when I was watching a video from Europe, a guy was working on an E90 with an N47 turbo diesel. It looked remarkably like a B48. Double chains on the back of the engine, very similar block structure. I wondered if this engine came from that diesel?

[@fcpeuro]

Likelihood of them trying to leverage prior engineering for parts of it is high!

[@JohnEvans-ct6mz]

Based off an existing diesel would explain the better reliability. 😂

Oil filter housing definitely came from B47 diesel. Manufacturers keep making more plastic couplers directly attached to hot engine block - planned problem as money for repair services

M139 for the win

[@cengeb]

VW Golf RRRR is 330HP 2.0L turbo, super quick and smooooooooth

[@jeconsta]

BMW runs the B58 in the BTCC 330e

[@EdwinKingPin]

Does this video also apply to g30/g31 520i / 530i?

[@LasseHengen-tf2qh]

Please do B58 as well!!

[@rspencer280]

Thank you ❤❤❤

[@Doctordetailing3]

Yall should do a oil filter housing job for this and b58

[@AlexNelsonFCPEuro]

That DIY is coming soon! Along with the heat management module.

Wow so good to know that BMW makes such sensible engines. What ever happened to good old fashioned reliability, having a car/ engine do 300...400k without none of this BS Personally I'm a JDM fan....no modern BMW or Mercedes or VAG engine touches my 1UZ-FE...1st gen with the bigger rods. Running a supercharger on it since 2005......no issues......zero ..... nothing.....granted it's running 7psi...and makes just under 400 whp...but still incredible reliability. 200k on it and nothing but normal maintenance. Also own a 4ge with 320k and a Hilux Diesel with half a million km....nothing but reliable motoring and simple maintenance. So when I hear people say B58 and S58 are better than the 1jz and 2jz I just want to laugh ....let's talk in 20 years and see what happens.

Wow, this video is a great manual as to why I am not buying another BMW right now after having been a lifelong fan and customer. All sorts of critical components all in plastic that all fail that could have been made durable. You get to 60,000 miles with one of these and you have like $3000 in repairs for stuff that should cost like $500 max. And it's all that expensive because it's all integrated with big important stuff that and/or buried and needs lots of labour and huge incremental parts cost. With these types of repair bills planned into the regular running of the car and the risks of larger failures that come with them, there is no reason to not go for a Porsche at this point. Sad to see such great machines turned to disposable junk. These machines are not durable.

I have a F34 328 GT with the N20 engine and I never had an issue with this car. It’s unbelievable. Stepping up to a Porsche is a big jump. I hear you though.
