Recent model BMW 540 xdrive?

Anonymous
I feel like this car has the best of all possible combinations for a luxury sedan. I've heard it has an extremely reliable engine (also used in Toyota) in the 2020+ (?) models. Mild hybrid with V-6 non turbocharged. I can't / wont' be new and am looking for a used 2021 or beyond with low mileages. Am I in for a world of repair pain or are these the holy grail of BMWs that are actually reliable even after 2-3 years of use?

Huh? It has used the B58 motor since 2017. Where do you get your info? A cereal box?

Actually the B58 is used in the Toyota Supra A90 so she is correct.

I'm surprised the V6 with mild-hybrid is non-tuborcharged. I had a V6 Twinturbo with mild hybrid mated to a ZF transmission, and it was heavenly. The B58 is a very reliable engine.

The reliability issues you'll most likely experience will be from the electronics and infotainment system. The powertrain is solid.

The BMW V6 is so reliable, Ineos is using it on the Grenadier (Land Rover Defender clone).

It’s not a V6, but inline 6 (L6)
