[@alfrede.neuman8611]

Good video. Should be noted, a charge pipe upgrade is NOT required on the B58 cars. At least not for moderate power levels. Its a completely different design on that platform than the earlier N54/N55 engines and I guess BMW was listening to the performance world when they built it. I've seen tuners take them upwards of 500-600hp on the stock charge pipe. Comparatively, I've heard of owners blowing the charge pipe on an N55 at stock power levels. For that matter, and intake upgrade isn't really necessary on a B58 up to those power levels either. If you're going to upgrade it for "noise", that's up to the owner...but from a performance standpoint, the intake system on this engine is pretty solid. One of the reason I chose the B58 platform. The charge pipe, intake and intercooler(B58 uses and air to water) are all very capable, right out of the gate.

[@Latinblood59]

Maintenance before mods! I’d do gasket replacements before tuning as well personally. Valve cover gasket, oil filter housing, cooler, oil pan etc

[@SimplyCarThings]

definitely some great preventative maintenance that will not hurt!

[@tonytube27]

Absofreakinlutely!!

[@tball4746]

How much would getting your gaskets replaced cost tho?

[@Latinblood59]

@@tball4746 I’d imagine it would depend on your area. I did most of the work myself, so I’m not too sure on labor. I did have a BMW tech do the oil pan for me and charged me around $700. But, this was on the side and about two years ago.

[@TheWrenchLab]

Great info! Kick that knowledge. Two of these things are why I haven't gotten a real tune yet.

[@SimplyCarThings]

thanks man! yea definitely some important tips i thought id share

[@LexicalNoScope]

After weeks of searching having no clue what the issue was I finally found out the reason my n54 335is was shaking so bad under high load but the issue would stop after restarting the car. Basically when these cars misfire badly enough the car shuts off the injector to that cylinder until the car is restarted. If I would have replaced my plugs and coils before going mhd stage 2+ this wouldn’t have happened😅 plugs and coils coming this week though👌🏼

[@SimplyCarThings]

good stuff man! I did the same when i first tuned my car, so i cant blame you lol!

[@SwordMaske]

Bro same thing happened to me after I went stage 2+. The whole car went limp on full throttle and scared the shot out of me. Coils and sparks plugs were the culprit.

[@mikeb2496]

Same thing on e36's. Had water in the plugwell, it would misfire and then drop a cylinder out off the mix to prevent misfires at the wrong time, either bending valves or connecting rods. Looking at an n55 or n54 currently. You like yours??

[@powerplays9954]

Peyton Graf Was there also a rough idle at the start? It might be my coil packs as I think they are sketchy, however the JB4 appears to be showing a fuel injector issue, did the coils solve your problems?

[@jimmiboiful]

N55 and B58 do not suffer from carbon build up like the N54. The PCV system in the N55 was improved greatly and believe me carbon cleaning is barely needed.

[@adominable1]

You are completely wrong

Esdras Diaz My throttle body was apparently damaged when the charge pipe broke, I’m still running the stage 1 tune but getting lights still when I push on it. I’m going to removing the tune as the next step

[@RASKOwid]

walnut blasting isn't really needed in the N55 like it was in the N54, iirc someone did it at 60k and the valves still looked fine, maybe after the 100k mark? and when changing the spark plugs, depending on the tune, sometimes a step colder and different gap are recommended so double check before just slapping new oem plugs.

[@truevhazo4001]

If u floor it occasionally will u still need to at 100k mark and were talking pure redline for at least 3 gears

Catch cans after walnut-blast or you’ll be doing it again.

[@mos342]

Steve Kalesia in my experience, valves get gunky with or without catch can. I notice the can helps with oil blow by but that’s about it

[@CGSURG]

Mo S you need to run catch cans on the vacuum and boost side.

[@Jeffco2]

Stupid question: What's a catch can?

[@titanautomotives]

Jeffrey it’s an add on that looks like a small can with vacuum hoses and it’s attached to the PCV to catch any engine blowby meaning it catching any residual oil that would go back into the intake valves

[@jadencampbell7601]

True, you definitely need to change spark plugs and coil packs😂😂 it won’t hurt it’s cheap, prevent them misfire and limp modes

Mine misfired that’s why I’m here lol

[@holdenhammond1942]

If your going stage 1, stage 1 +; you do not need to do anything whatsoever to the b58 block. Stage 2, 2+ requires a aftermarket downpipe, no particulate filter and a high pressure fuel pump. These are only necessary additions past stage 1. Stock block is pretty damn strong, can hold like 600 whp.

[@PartiBuoy]

Yeah didn’t tune my n54 just did FBO large intercooler catless dp intake and remove engine code in MHD. Not gonna push it though I could.

@@issaalmasuodi4111 well the forums say for n55 or n54 tuned you need it to be at 0.0223 or 0.03, so when you said 0.18 i assumed you meant 0.018 and i think that would be too far from the sparking place.. it would be too cold i guess you can say? the laser iridium come pregapped at 0.03.. personally i will leave them at that because of my cold winters here, i dont want the car to run too cold or else it wont start lol (montreal).

Hey bro! I like the route you’re taking and you should be fine with those mods, however I would recommend to go with a flash tune and not a piggy back. In my experience piggy backs hardly change the performance of the car in a noticeable manner, Flash tunes do. Get bootmod3!

Hi, I recently bought a 2008 335i N54 with 70000kms I have driven it for 2000kms and did maintenance and replaced all oils and replaced the spark plugs with Bosch ZGR6STE2 oem ones. And after 200km the car started giving me the reduced engine power warning but the car did not enter on limp mode, actually the warning go away after 2-3 seconds and then come back. On nice smooth roads the car doesn’t gives me any warning but on bumpy one it does. With the warning on the car doesn’t feel any different, I floored it when the warning came on and the car feels good, no reduced power. The warning comes for 2-3 seconds and go away and come back again, is almost intermittent. Idk what to do, I am suspecting a boost leak on a vaccum line. Thanks fo the help. Edit: I took the car to the mechanic and put a scanner on it and it doesn’t have any stored codes, no check engine light, anything.

[@enigmo08]

Eduardo Ramirez get your coil packs and vanos solenoids looked at. That could also trigger low power. If bumpy roads are causing it I’m wondering if it could be a loose connection somewhere. It’s hard to guess with no codes stored, but if it happens enough times it will end up being stored as a hard code (one that doesn’t go away with a restart)

[@Edrmzc]

enigmo08 Going to check those, I recently change the sparkplugs, maybe one of the coils is not in the right place. It has happened like 40 times and is not stored in anything ee checked engine, transmission, abs, airbags and no codes founds. I am really annoyed with that because I have driven the car only 2000kms😔

[@SomeMechlover]

Eduardo Ramirez it’s most likely a loose connection like the guy above said, if the coils are jumping around on bumps that’ll trigger it.

This video is really only for N54/55, B58 engines don't really suffer from carbon build up or bad coils. And the b58 charge piping is more then strong enough till you have something like a full frame turbo installed. Otherwise all the b58 needs is Plugs/ oil change and that's standard maintenance. Coming from a BMW tech. I feel bad for all you N series engines owners lol.

[@DavesJZX]

Hey Omar quick question dude, would it be wise to walnut blast a 2006 330xi? It’s AN NA engine so it’s not turbocharged but I’m wondering whether or not it still uses direct injection. Edit; Only reason I can see myself doing so is to have the engine running a lot smoother. The car has 75,000km.

[@SimplyCarThings]

no problem man, so with the N52 motors in the 330i's they are actually port injection, meaning each valve is actually cleaned off with each injection of gasoline. I dont think its necessary personally to do a walnut blast, but im sure it wouldnt hurt!

by any chance is there any place for walnut blasting near LA county area?

[@antskrt107]

And thanks for the videos bro! I’m 17 almost 18 and I have a 435i. I’m familiar with the n55 as I’ve owned a 335i before BUT I’ve never got into tuning since I literally crashed a week after having it lol I was 16 /: but any info would be nice about the n55 thanks man 😭!! Love your videos and the m235i 😉

[@sipsimies1588]

[@TheVillagerDoesThings]

[@SimplyCarThings]

thanks man, ie heard with the B58's the chargepipe isnt as much of an issue. You ordered an upgraded one?

[@TheVillagerDoesThings]

Simply Car Things yeah dats d first thing i did n now getting cel for ccv. Have to switch to original n c wats wrong.

[@SimplyCarThings]

@@TheVillagerDoesThings im not sure man, i would look into the forums or check for any vacuum leaks and see what the issue could be

[@matt3950]

Hey I just installed a charge pipe on my B58. Have you cleared your CEL? No issues for me so far. For everyone else, install the charge pipe and intake at the same time since you have to remove the intake to get to the charge pipe.

[@TheVillagerDoesThings]

@@matt3950 idin install the o ring ..stupid me..i did dat n no more CEL. thanks

[@blakegoodman4097]

[@boonce6506]

[@loveordie4]

Truth

[@Rock-Bottem1982]

God, I HATE having to hear that shitty "backround" music WHILE hearing someone talk, its incredibly distracting, and honestly "youtubers" NEED to STOP doing this, it was cool in 2015 but quickly got old because everybody starting doing this. Ide much prefer authentic, genuine videos over videos with edited voice overs and terrible backround music

[@alexjacob7295]

What BMW is he in?

[@SimplyCarThings]

Alex Jacob M235i

[@clayaustinnedcowart]

You need to link with @findingnick

[@SimplyCarThings]

that would be awesome haha

[@christopherlewis3615]

Pre check list n54, n55, b58. Mentiones nothing about the b58 🤣

[@1dazaraza1]

That sounds expensive

[@chuggalueroifan]

Everything he has is the best everything else is just meh... got it

[@paulygee9664]

what made you choose an m235i over an m2?

[@TheMarkcu24]

Most likely way cheaper for very close performance. Plus, more of an ability to be daily driver would be my guess.

[@SimplyCarThings]

as much as id love an M2, it was just out of my financial reach. And if im being honest im not sure the M2 offers $15k+ more car than an M235i. The M2 Comp however, is a different story

[@paulygee9664]

Simply Car Things gotcha. thanks for the response.

[@SimplyCarThings]

@@paulygee9664 you bet man

[@paulygee9664]

Simply Car Things would you also say the m235 has more “tunability”, so to speak?
