It’s not a V6, but inline 6 (L6)

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.

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.
