S58 Reliability
I know it's a pretty new engine, but as far as we know are there any flaws like some of the old M engines like rod bearings, or spun crank hub bolts? and the general reliability of the engine really. Im thinking of the g80 but this will have to last me for at least 5-6 years as a daily driver with lots of LA traffic driving along with occasional track use. Thanks for any input.

There was a recall on RB’s but seems like it was relegated to a small batch. Time will tell on long term.
CH was improved to single piece design and they went away from DCT so pan leaks should be gone but AT’s can leak as well. Lower oil cooler is still present so could be prone to damage. |

S55 has very few problems, CH is way overblown. I don't expect S58 to have many problems as they've no doubt incorporated the lessons from both 55 engines and B58 into S58. Turbo-6s are BMW's bread and butter. Also, warm your engine oil up properly before you start ragging on it, and there's no reason why you can't pre-emptively do extra oil changes yourself between the standard dealer intervals if you're running it hard

Good to hear and must be nice to live in an area where you can drive like that. Id be lucky to do 40 during traffic which is always here. Does the s58 engine burn a lot of oil?

No oil burning for me so far. 1200 mile break in service only and I'm close to due for 1 yr service (+12k mi) after that. Frankly, I haven't even thought about the oil. Maybe that's not good. |
