This guy is highly educated. Fantastic videos

[@DrDre001]

Its worth noting there are slight differences in the s58 found in F97/F98 to the G80/G82. The crankshaft used in the G8x is different - lighter and optimized for the higher torque & rotational speed. The right engine mount is designed to be more rigid than the left engine mount for the torque increase which should reduce force on the drive system. Pre-production 11/2020 F9X S58s have different cooling. The pre-production F9x S58s are missing an external radiator the G8X have. Also BMW decided to include stone chip protection guards on the coolant radiators.

[@kern417]

Yeah technically this was made before the G8x was even out, so tried to weed through some of those specific details. Like the intake integration with the engine cover

Hey man, i've seen your videos for quite a while now. Just wanted to say I appreciate how much dedication you've put into content like this. These videos and your deep-diving is invaluable for those of us that would want to better understand these engines and repair these vehicles. You're easily one of the most important channels to the BMW community.

[@vforvendetta_.]

I second this! And im not even a bmw fan or owner :D. I do appreciate all the information and explanations in these videos

[@matthewestiandan237]

Why S58 is better? Bigger bore and Less stroke. This engine is less under-squared meaning less stress on cylinder walls. It’s also an advantage for thermal properties. It can also rev higher. Valves are bigger as well. It’s a great combo for racing!

[@maximusEagle]

S55 enine still better engine overall

[@giowilliams7855]

@@maximusEagleare you okay ?🤣

[@that_escalated_quickly2720]

Shorter stroke has disadvantages too... Higher piston speed, more angle forces on the rods etc. Longer stroke is also more efficient, because you can use the combustion stroke much better

They also rotated the spray pattern of the B58TU injectors. They were trying to prevent warping of the upper cylinder. Lower compression ratio, bore and stroke changes, less flowing injectors... reliability and boost were in mind.

[@brandonhuggins1736]

Bro I learned so much from your video. This was dope.

[@Tranlock]

12:50 Concerning the about estimated power output of the S58 and you assuming it's capable of doing about 30% more power with the injectors, I want to tell you, you are pretty much right! There is a german tuner called Benny from "BK Performance" and about 4 years ago when the S58 came out with the X3M and X4M models, he already got his hands on the X3M and tested it's "limits", he ended up at 757hp with everything stock besides installing a different Downpipe (and what I'm not sure about is, he might have changed his Intercooler to a Wagner one, I don' remember exactly no more), BUT what I know is, he definitely didn't change anything else than I mentioned. The car was also featured on quiet a few other KZbin channels like "AutoTopNL", he could have went for slightly more power as well but he wanted to run a safe setup. He even drove the X3M with that power with 310km/h+ !GPS measured! on the Autobahn :D

[@geezersgotgame9767]

Thanks for doing all the work to learn this stuff. I have a 2024 BMW and am a first time owner of a new BMW. I'm wondering about the problems down the road because of direct injection without port. Will there be need valve cleaning down the road? Thanks, Dean in Oregon

Hello Kern, I just came across your channel and I am very grateful what you’re sharing with us. Thank you! I recently bought a 2024 BMW M440i Xdrive coupe and running 94 octanes pump gas on JB4 map 3. I also installed a VRSF 200 cell catted down pipe. Do you think I will be okay to keep the stock fuel pump as well as injectors if I upgrade to a Vargas GC mid turbo? Also, if the gas consumption would suffer with normal driving habits after the upgrade? What do you think about my approach? Warm regards. Alfred. July 9, 2024

I don’t think it will have any affects on it but I just want to make sure nothing will happen since I’m not modded yet. I only got 5w-30 oil mainly because I’m going full bolt on soon

Watch that video, it shows a very good comparison of S55/S58/B58 rods and bearings and S58 parts are not getting a good rating there. You can switch on English automatic translation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXKQnGambd-AaK8

[@edc15de]

Translation is not good I see, basically S58 bearings are already slighly worn after 10000 km while B58 is even with 100000 or 200000 km still like new. So they say S58 bearings will become a problem like S65, so after like 60000 to 80000 km you have to change them. Pistons from B58 are ok but not the best. S58 pistons are better. B58 rods are the best, S58 is not as strong.
