BMW 550e xDrive · B58 · 489 PS (2023–)

The 550e xDrive produces 360 kW (489 PS) with the 2998 cc B58 engine. This page covers 2023–. Plug-in hybrid: 360 kW for the system, a B58 combustion engine and an electric motor integrated into the eight-speed transmission. At the November 2023 launch BMW quoted 19.4 kWh usable and up to 7.4 kW AC charging; these figures do not automatically cover later updates. Electric driving does not remove petrol-engine maintenance.

Engine oil

The oil-change quantity for this version was not established in the consulted documents. It is not borrowed from another model with the same engine. Confirm the VIN-specific quantity including filter, then check the level as the handbook instructs. For this generation the VI/23 handbook lists top-up oils: petrol Longlife-12 FE, -17 FE+ or -22 FE++, SAE 0W-12, 0W-20 or 0W-30; diesel Longlife-12 FE, -17 FE+ or -19 FE, SAE 0W-20 or 0W-30. It excludes Longlife-17 FE+ and SAE 0W-20 for 40d. Select an actual VIN-approved combination: the lists do not mean every approval exists in every viscosity.

Maintenance and CBS deadlines

CBS calculates service needs from use. Read engine oil, brake fluid and vehicle check separately in service requirements. Plan the oil filter with the oil change; have the cabin filter, air filter and spark plugs or diesel fuel filter itemised against the service counter. The consulted handbook does not give their complete version-specific schedule. Report storage with the battery disconnected so time-based items can be corrected.

Documented faults and recalls

The ADAC G60 list includes a starter recall for fire risk and a campaign on the steering-wheel ground connection for certain assistance systems. Equipment and production date determine scope; check the VIN and completed campaigns.

Prepare the service

Bring the VIN, build month, B58 code and 360 kW rating. Record CBS dates and counters, previous oil services and filter changes; bring the key used for the last journey. Have the oil and work itemised on the invoice and the service recorded. Report storage with the battery disconnected so time-based deadlines can be corrected.

BMW B58 petrol engine (3.0 l, six-cylinder)

This applies to every car fitted with the B58 engine.

What the B58 is

Inline six-cylinder petrol engine of 2,998 cc (82 mm bore, 94.6 mm stroke, 11:1 compression) with twin-scroll turbocharger, direct injection, double VANOS, a closed-deck crankcase and indirect charge-air cooling integrated into the intake. BMW places it in the same modular family as the B38, B48 and B57, and launched it in mid-July 2015 in the F30 340i (240 kW/326 PS and 450 Nm according to ADAC, which codes it B58B30A). BMW designates the version in the facelifted 2 Series M240i (2017) as B58B30M0. In 2021 the G42 M240i xDrive Coupé quotes 275 kW (374 hp) and 500 Nm from the same displacement.

Engine oil

BMW handbooks only list oils for topping up and leave the oil change to a qualified workshop; the list depends on the handbook edition. 5 Series G30 handbook (VI/20): BMW Longlife-04, -12 FE or -17 FE+, in SAE 0W-20, 5W-20, 0W-30, 5W-30, 0W-40 or 5W-40; otherwise up to 1 litre of ACEA C2 or C3. 2 Series Coupé G42 handbook (VI/22): BMW Longlife-12 FE or -17 FE+, in SAE 0W-20 or 0W-30 only; otherwise up to 1 litre of ACEA C2 or C5. No additives. Quantities published by BMW: 6.5 l for the B58B30M0 of the M240i (2017, “filling quantity”) and 7.2 l for an oil change on the G42 M240i xDrive Coupé (2021). No quantity is sourced here for other installations.

Timing drive

Chain, on the transmission side, confirmed by ADAC. According to BMW’s training document it is two-part: a lower chain drives an intermediate shaft, which passes the drive to the upper camshaft chain; the oil pump has its own chain and the tensioners are hydraulic with spring preload. The inertia of the transmission reduces the torsional vibrations acting on the chain. The sources consulted give no replacement interval.

What changed over the years

2015: launch in the F30 340i, replacing the N55 (2,979 cc, 225 kW); Euro 6b according to ADAC. 2017: facelifted 2 Series, M240i with B58B30M0. 2021: G42 M240i xDrive Coupé, 275 kW (374 hp) and 500 Nm, Euro 6d. The sources consulted do not detail the internal changes between these versions, so nothing more should be inferred.

Maintenance and records

Engine oil change

Oil deadline displayed by CBS

Record remaining date and distance before work. Use the version-specific quantity and a VIN-approved oil; check the level and record the oil service once completed. The consulted document does not justify a universal fixed mileage.

Brake fluid

Brake-fluid service date

Read the brake-fluid deadline separately from pad wear. Compare it with the last replacement invoice; report storage with the battery disconnected before correcting service dates. Reset only completed work.

Source [7]

Vehicle check

Vehicle-check deadline, separate from oil service

Keep the CBS vehicle-check item separate from oil service. Provide service history and the key last used so the workshop can read actual requirements. An oil change alone does not prove the vehicle check was completed.
