Even toyota trusts the B58 enough to put it in the new supra. I remember another channel spoke with toyota about why they went with the BMW engine. Toyota said they tested it up to 700hp and they decided it held up to their standards.

If its good enough for Toyota, the B58 sure as hell is good in my books. I want the new Supra.

My 2010 Mercedes S550 had 171, 000 miles on it problem free engine. Just suspension issues. The trans and engine were rock solid. Great video as always.

One thing I don't like about the Acura V6 is is that you still have to change the timing belt.. In this day and time that can be an expensive service.. Lexus vehicles and Toyota use the timing chains..

For the M278 Engine in any 550 Mercedes Models it is important to find out if the engine was built before or after 2015 and if its built in the USA or Germany. Anything after 2015 you are good since Mercedes has been resolving some of the issues and ill explain what and why. For any 2014 models and below the coolant and oil would mix causing catastrophic problems. And also to note that After a certain Mileage the coating in the cylinder walls would eventually wear out due to the valve guides wearing causing misfire and really bad bore scoring because of the coating (Silitec) this would be the reason why M278 Owners would need to change their oil so frequently. After 2015 Mercedes switched from Silitech to Nanoslide which pretty much resolved this issue. Otherwise its a pretty solid Engine and reliable and can squeeze out some crazy horsepower

Your knowledge just totally blows me away. I cannot afford a luxury vehicle but I watch as your phenomenal knowledge is eye watering. Thank you I have learned so much from down under New Zealand. You need reliability as I have friends with BMWs and Audis who have bought just for the prestige without your knowledge or understanding of which models to buy and they have both lost limbs as they have had in excess of 10k failure issues or so the authorised dealers who conduct the maintenance have charged them! Both vowed never again!

I have a 2006 BMW 325xi Wagon (E91) with 195, 000 miles. Engine oil leaks are plenty. Suspension rebuilds every 75, 000 miles are required. Still a joy to drive. Paint quality is exceptional. Rust prevntion is exceptional.

A buddy of mine is already having issues with his 2018 Mercedes GLS. Within 6 years that car has been in the shop multiple times. Latest issue is the engine automatically switching to D2 when stopping at a red light. He called me recently to vent and I told him that it’s well expected from a German vehicle. It drives nice and works well until it doesn’t anymore. This is why they undergo crazy price depreciation every year. They just don’t hold value

Finally a knowledgeable and well spoken independent motor enthusiast who will tell ot as it is.

Sooner or later, mostly sooner, a German car will require a costly repair along with more costly scheduled maintenance. Lexus may not be inexpensive when it comes to scheduled maintenance, either, but repairs are few and far between. Let the Germans loose on electronic technology and that is like asking Dracula to manage the Red Cross blood bank.

The Audi engine I have thanks for sharing info good to know as this is my first Audi to own
Thanks again

[alexeybazhukhin]

n52 is very soild engine, still own a car with it and dont see a reason to change it. It actually had a recall on the intake VANOS (which is the only thing got broken for mine and was repaired in scope of that recall for free). Overall - nice video, kinda corresponds with my very limited knowledge

[DeadlyBrianX]

YESSIRRR THE AUDI GETS A MENTION. What years specifically are bulletproof? B9?

[DanYouen]

My 05 LS 430 199, 800 miles no oil leak dry and clean running great

[Ashley_van_Schooneveld]

I'm a BMW N55 owner with 115k miles and I only had to replace a water pump, thermostat and valve cover gasket which is nothing unheard of on a modern BMW.

[Mr.BlackSanta]

A Chrysler 225 slant 6 from the 1970s is the engine that is 2nd to none.

B58 baby. Blows my mind how smooth this engine is

[mhassouneh]

Is the BMW S58 engine reliable, as well? How does it compare to the B58?
