TheBingoBalls wroteNo way that’s the case. US market alone will justify continuation of 6 cylinders.After its lifecycle, I'm curious to see what the B58 finishes as. Each update seems to provide welcomed additions while maintaining the reliability we have come to expect with the B58.
If this is BMW's last inline-six engine, what a way to go out and would have to be considered one of the best engines of all-time.

Alpine Wait wroteNope 2015 I thinkB58 came out in 2017?
ynguldyn wrote286hp variant is filled with BMW 0w-8! BMW should jettison this Euro 7 emissions trash.Some new future engines info (from Future BMW models information Thread)
- Next-gen G50 3-Series engines: 320, 330, and 330e will get the new B48TÜ3 in different tunes.
- Next-gen G65 X5 engines: B57, B58, S68.
- B58 is getting a new revision, B58TÜ3. It will first show up on G70 LCI 735 (286hp/295lb-ft) and 740 (400hp/400lb-ft) next July.
NGT2 wroteNot saying BMW stops offering a straight-six, but given how good the B58 has been and BMW openly saying the the straight-six is here to stay (at least for the immediate future), we could see BMW continue to give technical updates (TU) to the B58 to extend its lifecycle. With BMW now shifting to EV/Neue Klasse, not sure if they would design a completely new engine.No way that’s the case. US market alone will justify continuation of 6 cylinders.
ledphut wroteLikely coupled with hybrid propulsion so HP/QT is ++Only 286hp for the leaden land yacht that is the 7-Series???
TheBingoBalls wroteI agree on that, too. If the current engine is working, why reinvent the wheel? Clearly, they’ve not maxed out the power it can produce and remain reliable. Plenty of runway left on the B58. I’m a noise and torque junky and have had 4 N63 cars, total. But even I’ve been victim to the charm of the B58. I’ve likely owned my last N63 car (I won’t rule out another V8 SUV but that’s a different world). Hell, even in the big SUV’s and 7 series, the B58 is objectively hard to put down. Our X7 M50 is fast and powerful but the X7 40i was probably better to drive in town with its light front end and it was plenty quick. Same with a 740i.Not saying BMW stops offering a straight-six, but given how good the B58 has been and BMW openly saying the the straight-six is here to stay (at least for the immediate future), we could see BMW continue to give technical updates (TU) to the B58 to extend its lifecycle.

MParallel wroteIt is correct to have the umlaut, as that’s the proper German spelling for the phrase “Technisch Überarbeitet”TÜ? Is that pseudo German? Technical Update is not with a German Umlaut above the U.
JJacksonIII wroteOnly so many ways you can develop a motor. But they’ll figure out the next innovation that’ll require another motor designation.You're probably correct, but he may also be.

DDDGGG_M wroteDiesel motor based off the N57What is the B57 engine?
F32Fleet wroteI don’t think they’d stoop to 0W-8, then again, I wasn’t surprised when they went to 0W-12 in 2023 for hybrid cars(easier on the motor when it’s a lot colder, which tends to be how hybrid cars are driven).286hp variant is filled with BMW 0w-8!
