Either case, I was baking, but see pics, something far far cooler...

gibberish / and you need to bring up others to support your postition / "others drool" and you care?

If im wrong give up your IG (or other) of your car and let us see - otherwise shut up

Let us speak plain English. What is IG or FB? Some slang for Instagram or Facebook? You seem to mistake privacy with hiding. Like do you think I go on main boulevards revving my engine and spluttering exhaust burbles? lol.

yeah so good try - but you make no sense


and then because your own position is not good enough you have to bring up strangers - you say:

"Because a dozen of forum friends have been PM pesting me to get them in on it"



And at the end of the day if anyone gives a crap what you are saying....take a moment by yourself and ask yourself why you keep posting - no one gives a shit - so sit quietly and accept the fact that you are worthless

*edit*
I'm done here young lady - say what you want - I don't care which is why I'm out / if you're confident you won;t respond to this stranger - if you are fragile you'll have to

it's typically the end - when you have to show "others" are in agreement with you - stand on your own young lady

if anything, you come across as pathetically insecure about things you do not understand, and seek to self lick your bias ice cone lol..
You are all hot air. So wheres your logs and data? You wrote over a thousand words and none substantiates anything you've said about the B58.

There have been ample reports on B58 engine replacement, VIN recalls, dully listed on several sources. DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK.

Also known as ad hominems (and go research what ad hominem means). Not to mention, lack of class. You thus lack the mental, intellectual abilities to sustain an argument, or lack the class and skillset to pursue one.

And, evidently, lack the technical understanding of engine program development, as you still failed to understand what TU1 means to the B58. It is not my role to go into mechanical engineering 300 to explain to you the reasoning behind engine structural changes.

Go troll someone else.
All that time typing nonsense and you still can't back up your claims

guess what genius. every time a new engine comes out that's an improvement on the previous gen, it doesn't mean the previous gen was a flop or ticking time bomb. there will be a b58tu2, a b59, and on and on and on. sounds like you're the only one in the thread that's lacking.

Bohohoo, cry me a river that French, German or Italian posts document the same issues, engine recalls, engine failures, above and beyond the tiny English speaking Bimmerpost world. When was the last time you were in Europe (me, last week). these cars are everywhere. Either case, cry me a river that BMW killed the B58 in favor of an improved engine casing, optimized pistons (forged as well) and crankshaft, and dozens of other changes listed in TU1. If any issues with BMW closing B58 production after the shortest inline 6 run in modern history, take it with BMW.

https://www.forumbmw.net/topic-255-l...r-bmw-b58.html
http://www.bmw-one.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=39817

In the end, TU1 looks excellent (bringing it close to the S class for obvious lessons learned reasons) and so on..

The forums are very useful. Years ago, when an HVAC rattled at acceleration, it was a forum post with a Bulletin Code that enabled the workorder, the local Service Center being clueless.

"Another advantage of the always high cylinder wall temperatures is that the engine generates less soot particles in the event of a sudden load jump. On the other hand, the tendency to knock does not increase because the split-cooling approach simultaneously ensures a well-cooled combustion chamber roof.

The profound changes in chain drive and cooling have also necessitated a redesign of the crankcase. Here, the wall thickness was optimized and the engineers implemented some other lightweight construction measures, for a total of weight savings of just over 2 kilograms. The forged crankshaft was once again optimized, resulting in an additional weight saving of around 2 kilograms.

Of course, the BMW B58 TÜ1 outperforms its predecessor in terms of performance. Initially, two power levels are planned, called ML (middle power level) and OL (upper power level). In the ML comes the B58 TÜ1 with 250 kW (340 hp) and 450 to 500 Newton meters of torque, the OL has 275 to 285 kW (374 to 388 hp) and 500 Newton meters of torque. Of course, the new M-engine S58 will adopt some ideas of the B58 TÜ1 development in an adapted form.

In the middle performance level, a new cylinder head with integrated manifold is used. This sophisticated solution brings various advantages in terms of thermal management and, among other things, allows a more efficient distribution of heat to relevant points. The exhaust gas turbocharger of the middle power level has been adapted to the new position of the manifold, which in addition to the cost benefits also brings a weight saving of 2 kilograms. The upper power level uses a turbocharger with integrated manifold, which has also been further refined.

Overall, it can be said that the BMW B58 TÜ1 clearly outperforms its predecessor in all important engineering aspects. At the same time, the engineers are also promising lower emissions, improved acoustics, further reduced weight and increased power and torque capacity.

No surprise is that the new straight-six gasoline engine is also prepared for future electrification measures and can be easily adapted for the use of appropriate components." SOURCE: BOERIU 2018, https://www.bmwblog.com/2018/10/31/b...88-horsepower/

Can you read? Do you expect others to read and spoon feed you data? Your tricks to drag me down to a sublevel well,, they all failed. You have not read German, Italian, French posts issues that resulted in TU1. And hey, here is FACT: BMW SELLS MORE of these cars in the EU than in USA and Canada combined!!!

The point is, even if you read the TU1 mod info, you will never grasp the program management (B58 that it) driving so many substantial changes. But if you think BMW made SO MANY changes to B58 because it felt like it, you are smoking something. In fact, these are the most substantial 6 cylinder changes BMW ever made as a TU, and after a short run period. Period. (do you need fact check that)..:

Yep, after 2 years of data Munich scrambled to implement TU1, end of year 3 it is ready, Year 4, TU1. You need DATA ? lol Take it with BMW...

Nothing you posted above is new to us and we knew of the changes in TU1. The TU1 is still the B58 with some improvements some for EURO regulation. What catastrophic fixes are you referring to? One more time: TROLL. Does anyone know why this guy is doing this non-sense?

I can't handle information being thrown at me, but I'm not the one assuming that an engine is a failure because an OEM updated it after several years of field testing and development.

Also I've worked in automotive engineering for years, globally. The same thing happens with all automakers. So unless every pre-2020 engine design is a failure, I'd say that you're still blowing smoke. Not to mention in 2 years, the B58TU1 will have a host of revised components. They'll still continue to update it's design until it goes out of service. That's how engineering works.

Just stop posting bs so we can get the thread back on track with useful, data-driven info and user feedback.

"TU1 is still the B58" GOOD LUCK telling yourself that, no one with an engineering degree, not the least the FIA, would look at the list of changes and call it THE SAME ENGINE. Cry me a river because BMW has improved the inherent B58 weaknesses. What, you think they did all that for free, bona fide? And another thing, I suspect you have no technical, engineering background, or you would not advance preposterous premises.

"What catastrophic fixes are you referring to?" ALL THOSE THAT RESULTED IN HUNDREDS UPON HUNDREDS of VIN recalls or warranty replacement, in the EU, North America, Asia, related to piston failure or thermodynamic issues (jargon- overheating). Now, if you want to dive in, go look for user testimonials, befriend Sr mechanics at a BMW service centre, they will let you know. OR READ THE BLOODY PUMA NOTICES FOR B58..

Either case, TU1 redesigned thermodynamic and structural failure points- SOMETHING N55 never had to do. Oh wait, do you think the S55 WAS THE SAME as the N55 even though based on similar architecture? keep thinking that

Here is ONE, a crankshaft bearing issues int he first months of production and PUMA description: "The upper crankshaft guide bearing may wear out prematurely. The wear on the upper guide bearing can cause the clutch pedal to malfunction during shifting. The Engine Malfunction warning may be illuminated and a fault will be stored in the DME memory for the crankshaft sensor. Noise may be heard from the lower engine and transmission bell housing area. If the crankshaft guide bearing or crankshaft is found damaged during the inspection then the engine must be replaced. Engine damage is a rare occurrence."

Not quite. I skipped the B58 after getting inside PUMA scoops from BMW centres. I did not want the complications. But Mar 2020, am ordering a TU1 updated vehicle.

And another thing, I suspect you have no technical, engineering background, or you would not advance preposterous premises.

"What catastrophic fixes are you referring to?" ALL THOSE THAT RESULTED IN HUNDREDS UPON HUNDREDS of VIN recalls or warranty replacement, in the EU, North America, Asia, related to piston failure or thermodynamic issues (jargon- overheating). Now, if you want to dive in, go look for user testimonials, befriend Sr mechanics at a BMW service centre, they will let you know. OR READ THE BLOODY PUMA NOTICES FOR B58..

Either case, TU1 redesigned thermodynamic and structural failure points- SOMETHING N55 never had to do. Oh wait, do you think the S55 WAS THE SAME as the N55 even though based on similar architecture? keep thinking that
As far as I'm aware the only update is
1. A rockguard to protect the radiator
2. Improve fuel delivery system
3. Tweaks to be able and comply with EU standard which reduces the overall engine power.

The core engine is still the same.

The crankshaft barring issue that you mention all occur on manual something that not even an option anymore for the b58
