How does the N63TU3 compare to the B58TU?
Wondering where the N63TU3 stands comparing to its little brother
The B58, in O1 form, just made Ward’s Ten Best Engines list. |

The gutter. BMW can't build a durable V8 to save its life.

Ya. The N6x has been a PITA. Not to mention the S65.

BMW are masters of I6 engines but they really don't build a great a V8. That is more of AMG's forte.

They did build really bulletproof V8's till about 2003.
M62TU's and S62's were the best/strongest of them all. Then it went downhill. My 02 540i had 206k right before i sold it last year. Other than oil leaks due to bad gaskets everywhere that werent changed over the years... I did the valley pan, the chain guides, and vanos... and it drove like a dream. I want it back actually.

S65 is a very reliable motor aside from throttle actuators. I wouldn't even consider the rod bearings a reliability issue since such a small percentage have actually failed. More like a design flaw that can be remedied preventatively. Plenty running strong with 200k+ miles.
