On the 2017-2023 BMW M240i, the B58's engine oil filter housing doubles as an oil-to-coolant heat exchanger and is molded from polycarbonate rather than cast aluminum. Heat cycling and vibration embrittle the plastic, and the housing cracks or its gaskets harden so that coolant weeps past the internal coolant channel and engine oil seeps down the back of the block. Because the housing sits under the intake manifold on the M240i's longitudinal B58, the leak is usually only spotted as a slow coolant-level drop, an oily film on the underside of the manifold, or a burning smell after a drive. A class action filed in New Jersey on January 4, 2026 names B46, B48 and B58 engines in 2014-2021 BMW and MINI vehicles including the 2 Series, and alleges owners paid up to $4,000 for a part that should last 150,000 miles. Do not confuse this with the separate cylinder-head coolant vent-line service action: the brittle vent hose sits nearby and is a frequent misdiagnosis in both directions, so the actual leak point must be pressure-tested before parts are ordered.

Common Symptoms

  • Slow, unexplained coolant loss with no visible puddle
  • Low coolant warning on the iDrive display
  • Oil seepage down the back of the engine and onto the subframe
  • Sweet coolant smell or light steam after shutdown
  • Crusty dried coolant residue at the housing seam under the intake manifold
  • Oil film in the coolant expansion tank in advanced cases

How to Fix

Pressure-test the cooling system cold and confirm leakage at the housing seam or gasket faces with the intake manifold removed. Replace the complete housing and required cooler/housing seals only after confirmation, and replace the brittle vent hose while access is open.

On the 2017-2024 BMW M240i, the B58 uses a fully electric, DME-controlled coolant pump integrated with the thermostat housing. The pump's plastic impeller and its housing seals degrade under the heat cycling of a turbocharged inline six, and the unit either seeps coolant from the housing seam or loses commanded flow while the engine still appears to run normally. Because the pump is electrically driven rather than belt-driven, a failure produces no belt noise and no obvious warning until coolant temperature climbs, which is why owners describe it as a silent overheat. Related to the same coolant circuit, G42 owners have reported cracking of the thermoplastic coolant expansion tank producing a slow level drop with no external puddle. Forum reports on the F22 and G42 M240i place pump problems anywhere from under 50,000 miles to the more typical 80,000-100,000 mile band. This is a distinct failure from the cylinder-head coolant vent-line service action and from the oil filter housing leak, and all three should be ruled in or out by a cooling-system pressure test rather than assumed.

This issue also affects: BMW 1 Series, BMW 5 Series, BMW 6 Series

Common Symptoms

  • Coolant level warning with no visible leak
  • Temperature gauge climbing in traffic or after a hard run
  • Whining or buzzing from the front of the engine with the ignition on
  • Cabin heat that goes cold at idle
  • Coolant residue at the front of the block near the thermostat housing
  • Reduced-power or engine-protection message on overheat

How to Fix

Correct the repair copy before promotion. BMW catalogs list the coolant-pump assembly and thermostat/heat-management module as separate parts on both the F22/F23 and G42 branches, so live data must identify which component failed before either is ordered. The current instruction to replace an integrated pump-and-thermostat assembly is not supported.

On the 2017-2024 BMW M240i B58 3.0L Turbo I6, the B58 engine uses a plastic charge pipe to route compressed air from the turbocharger to the throttle body. Under sustained high boost conditions, the factory plastic charge pipe can crack, split, or blow off, resulting in an immediate and total loss of boost pressure. This failure can occur on completely stock vehicles as the plastic degrades from repeated heat cycling over time, but is accelerated by any ECU tune that increases boost pressure.

This issue also affects: BMW M340i, BMW M5, BMW 1 Series

Common Symptoms

  • Sudden and complete loss of boost pressure
  • Loud pop or hissing sound from engine bay
  • Check engine light with boost pressure codes
  • Significant power loss, especially above 3,000 RPM
  • Turbo whistle or whooshing noise under acceleration

How to Fix

Replace the factory plastic charge pipe with an upgraded aluminum aftermarket unit from manufacturers like Burger Motorsports, VRSF, or FTP Motorsport. If the failure occurs on a stock car, BMW may cover repair under warranty. After replacement, inspect the intercooler boots and all charge air connections for damage.

On the 2017-2024 BMW M240i B58 3.0L Turbo I6, the B58 engine's valve cover gasket is prone to degradation and oil leaks, typically developing around 60,000-100,000 miles. The rubber gasket material shrinks and dries out through repeated heat cycles, allowing oil to seep and eventually drip down the sides of the engine. In more severe cases, oil can leak into the spark plug tubes, causing misfires and potential ignition coil damage.

This issue also affects: BMW M340i, BMW Z4, BMW 2 Series

Common Symptoms

  • Burning oil smell from engine bay, especially after highway driving
  • Visible oil seepage around valve cover edges
  • Oil dripping on exhaust manifold causing smoke
  • Oil pooling in spark plug wells causing misfires
  • Low oil level between changes

How to Fix

Replace the valve cover gasket with an updated BMW part. If oil has entered spark plug tubes, replace spark plugs and inspect ignition coils. Clean all oil residue from the engine block. Some owners replace the entire valve cover assembly as the integrated PCV valve can also fail.

On the 2017-2024 BMW M240i B58 3.0L Turbo I6, the B58 engine's VANOS solenoid o-rings degrade due to wear and high temperatures, causing oil leaks and variable valve timing faults. When the o-rings fail, oil pressure to the VANOS system is compromised, leading to rough idle, reduced power, and check engine lights. This is a continuation of a problem that has affected multiple generations of BMW inline-6 engines.

This issue also affects: BMW M3, BMW M340i, BMW 3 Series

Common Symptoms

  • Rough idle, especially when cold
  • Reduced power and acceleration hesitation
  • Check engine light with VANOS codes
  • Oil leak around VANOS solenoid area on top of engine
  • Engine stalling at low RPM

How to Fix

Replace the VANOS solenoid o-rings with updated silicone o-rings. Clean the solenoid screens of any debris. If solenoids are contaminated, replace the entire solenoid unit. Use BMW-approved 0W-30 oil and maintain proper oil change intervals to reduce o-ring degradation.

On the 2017-2024 BMW M240i, the B58's solenoid direct injectors sit in the head behind Teflon sealing rings. As the seal hardens and the injector's internals wear, the injector either leaks down into the cylinder after shutdown or delivers an off-spec spray pattern. Owners report cylinder-specific misfires, a fuel smell at cold start, and rough idle for the first thirty seconds after a cold start that smooths out once closed-loop fueling takes over. Forum reports include an M240i failing an injector at around 78,000 km, and injector trouble on B48 and B58 engines has become common enough that it is now a routine independent-shop job rather than an oddity. Left alone, a leaking injector washes oil off the bore and dilutes the sump, which is what turns a modest part cost into a bottom-end problem - so a cylinder-specific misfire on a B58 should not be treated as a coil-and-plug job by default.

Common Symptoms

  • Rough idle for the first 30 seconds after a cold start
  • Cylinder-specific misfire codes
  • Fuel smell at startup
  • Flashing check engine light under load
  • Fuel odor in the engine oil and a rising oil level

How to Fix

Eliminate plugs and coils first, then confirm that the misfire follows the injector. If an injector is removed or its PTFE combustion seal is replaced, use the correct installation and sizing tool before refitting it; reset fuel/engine adaptations and change fuel-diluted oil after the repair.

On the 2017-2024 BMW M240i, the M240i runs a two-pump fuel system - an in-tank low-pressure pump feeding a cam-driven high-pressure pump on the B58's head. As the HPFP's internal valve and cam follower wear, the pump can still idle and cruise normally but cannot maintain commanded rail pressure during hard acceleration. The DME sees the pressure deviation, cuts boost, and drops the car into limp mode with a Drivetrain Malfunction message - typically at exactly the moment the driver asks for full throttle. The tell that separates HPFP wear from an ignition or injector fault is that the fault appears under load and clears itself on restart, and that fuel-pressure live data diverges from the commanded value while codes alone look ambiguous. Tuned cars surface this earlier because a Stage 1 map asks for more fuel volume than a marginal pump can deliver, which is how it first showed up on M240i and M340i owners running higher-output maps.

This issue also affects: BMW 5 Series, BMW 6 Series, BMW M340i

Common Symptoms

  • Drivetrain Malfunction message and limp mode under hard acceleration
  • Long cranking before the engine starts
  • Hesitation or stumble when the throttle is opened
  • Intermittent misfire codes that clear on their own
  • Reduced power that returns to normal after a restart

How to Fix

Log commanded versus actual rail pressure and confirm the in-tank low-pressure supply before condemning the high-pressure pump. Replace only the confirmed branch, then reset fuel adaptations.

On the 2023 BMW M240i, this one is specific to the G42 generation and does not apply to the earlier F22 M240i. BMW opened a voluntary safety recall effective January 26, 2023 on 2023 2 Series Coupe built October 24, 2022 through January 17, 2023 and G87 M2 Coupe built November 1, 2022 through January 16, 2023. The side airbag cover panels on the rear seat backrests were not produced to the supplier's material specification. In a crash severe enough to command side airbag deployment, the panel can crack rather than open along its designed tear seam, so the side airbag may not deploy as intended and second-row occupants are exposed to greater injury risk. The affected window is narrow - roughly three months of early G42 production - which makes it easy to miss on an early-build 2023 car.

Common Symptoms

  • No symptom - the defect is not detectable in normal use
  • No airbag warning lamp for this fault

How to Fix

Check the VIN for open recall 23V-039. The remedy is replacement of both rear seat backrest side airbag cover panels by a BMW dealer, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 31, 2023, so an early-build 2023 M240i bought used may never have had the letter forwarded. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.

On the 2022-2023 BMW M240i, another G42-only defect. On 2022-2023 2 Series, 8 Series and Z4 models, software in the wireless charging tray does not recognize that the digital key - a key card or a phone - has been removed from the tray. For a period after removal, until the vehicle is locked, the window regulators and the sunroof remain operable. The hazard is the classic keyless-entry pinch case: a driver steps away believing the car is inert, and a child or another occupant left inside can still close a window or the sunroof on themselves. This is not a hardware fault and cannot be diagnosed by symptom alone, because the affected behavior looks like the car simply working.

Common Symptoms

  • Power windows still operate after the digital key card is taken out of the wireless charging tray
  • Sunroof still operates with no key present until the car is locked

How to Fix

Check the VIN for open recall 23V-099. The remedy is a free dealer software update - the vehicle is programmed with ISTA 4.41.1x or later, released May 2, 2023. Until the update is performed, always lock the vehicle after removing the digital key rather than relying on key removal alone, and never leave a child unattended in the cabin with the key card in the tray.
