BMW is renowned for producing high-performance engines with exceptional power and dependability. The B58 exemplifies the pinnacle of German engineering.
The B58 is a turbocharged inline-six engine introduced in 2015 as part of a modular engine family, boasting a displacement of 2,998 cc (3.0L). This engine has been recognized as one of Ward’s World’s 10 Best Engines four times, in 2016, 2017, 2019, and 2020.
Compared to its predecessors and many other non-M BMW engines, the B58 stands out for its power, reliability, and durability. Let’s delve into everything you need to know about the B58 engines.
The BMW B58 Engine
As the successor to the BMW N55, the B58 features a closed-deck engine block with 20% more boost pressure and a compression ratio of 11.0:1. It also has a higher displacement of 2998cc compared to the N55’s 2,979cc, with an additional weight of 18 lb (8 kg).
The B58 turbocharger utilizes a twin-scroll design, known for its efficiency in power output and reduced turbo lag compared to single turbochargers.
For cooling, the intercooler employs a water-to-air design, which is more effective. Additionally, it incorporates a heat encapsulation system to safeguard internal engine components from heat-related damage.
