2022 Toyota A90 Supra | Textbook Perfect Sports Car
The 2022 Toyota A90 Supra is an excellent sports car in just about every single quantifiable metric. It brings impressive performance to the table, striking looks, and a seemingly endless amount of aftermarket capability to continue building on an already excellent platform. Even in stock form the car is vigorous and demonstrates a level of playfulness that is tough to get in modern cars nowadays.

BMW's B48 Engine | The Most Underrated Production 4-Cylinder On The Market
มุมมอง 12K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
The BMW B48 is arguably the most underrated production 4-cylinder engine on the mass market right now. It's featured in the most mundane of vehicles ranging from a grocery getter 330i, to the Mini JCW GP, and the M235i Gran Coupe. Regardless of the application, this engine has proven the test of time over its ongoing ten year production run in regard to its fuel efficiency, power production, re...

2015 Mercedes-AMG X156 GLA 45 | The Forgotten German Hot Hatch

Today I had the opportunity to review a 2015 Mercedes-AMG X156 GLA 45. This unique vehicle was initially branded as a crossover, however its proportions and sporty nature throw it right into the competitive hot hatch segment. With a 2.0L turbocharged 4 cylinder engine outputting 355hp & 332lb/ft of torque, a 7 speed dual clutch gearbox, and all wheel drive, this baby AMG rips off the line. But ...

An S58 Powered A90 Supra GRMN Is The Car We NEED, But Likely Won't Receive

It's no secret that the current A90 generation Toyota Supra has proven that it can punch far above its weight class. I would even argue that it's one of the best sports cars that we've received in the last 5 years. With the car's production run nearing a bittersweet end, the Supra GRMN has been seen testing at the infamous Nurburgring Nordschleife, and it seems as though the it will receive a c...

Another track day completed with my BMW E92 328i!

Once the weather cools down, we'll be back out on track to set some faster laps. The car now has a new set of ISC N1 V2 coilovers on it, more camber, and a fresh set of R Comps! Full Mod Lis...

The 2016 BMW G12 740i pleasantly surprised me in a number of ways that I was not initially expecting. This long wheelbase luxury sedan drove incredibly smooth and boasted a suite of creature comforts that enabled relaxation in every aspect of the driving experience.

The first shakedown with my BMW E92 328i Track Car was a success! We ran the car at Streets of Willow CW and to our somewhat pleasant surprise, the car held up great. My best lap time of the day was a 1:30.5, which I was content with considering it was my first time running this layout and my first time out on track in over two years.

For today's review, I took the 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 for a thorough spin on the street and discovered what this iconic nameplate is all about. This car features a supercharged, American-made 5.2L V8 engine, producing 760hp and 625lb-ft of torque. It would be an understatement to say this car is a missile for the street, as it is one of the fastest production cars I have ever driven. Pa...

Today I got behind the wheel of a 2001 Porsche 986 Boxster S. The 986 along with many other models (such as the 911) from this era were often frowned upon for their water-cooled powerplants, IMS issues, and not-so-gorgeous looks. Fast forwarding 22 years later, what is it like to drive this old German roadster? I'm pleased to report that this car offers a sublime driving experience with everyth...

I have a coupe in white ! The exhaust sound i will for my
Wow what the exhaust set up
damn Omar from the 335i Simply Car Things is alive
Entry level garbage bmw puts out...to be competitive in this field.
Don’t be so miserable
Bmw isnt reliable.
this is without hybrid system right?
Correct
Catless exhaust on a California car? Believe it or not, STRAIGHT TO JAIL!!!
Shhh!
I am looking into a 328 as a realiable daily driver that can be fun to drive and eat up the highway for long road trips.
Very strong and smooth engine but man after 80k you will start getting coolant leak after coolant leak ( ask me how I know ).. Oil filter Housing ( $2000 to fix ) / Heater Control Valve ( another $1000+ to fix )... It is a great motor but BMW fix your freaking coolant systems, Havent you learned yet? Nobody should have to spend over $4000 on a car under 80k miles and 5 years old because of plastic coolant parts all over that crack and leak.. This affects all B48s and lots of B58's after 75k miles. Thats my only complaint, it makes great power and revs nicely.
Spot on. I love my b46 in my 19 X3 but after 65k miles you get coolant leaks constantly. I replaced the turbo coolant line at 65k miles, water pump at 70k miles, and now I’m at 75k and the upper radiator hose is starting to have a very small leak. I do most of the work at home in my garage but even parts are expensive. Will be doing the oil filter housing at around 80k just to be sure I don’t get oil and coolant mixing.
I love my 2016 and the recaro seats just add to it. All around very pleased also nobody expects the car to be fast so its quite the sleeper.
The factory Recaro buckets are such a nice touch. I wish this example had them.
Got the Z06 with exactly the same configuration and color. freaking rocket ship
Such an underrated beast!
Did you just ditch your other channel completely? I was following along the m4 journey and thought you had passed away or something 😭
I have a 2024 530i msport B48 2.0 Turbo G60... i can't find anything for it. Not even simple mods like catch can, performance engine air filter, nor complete intake system, and that's just basic stuff forget a tune, exhaust etc... I called Dinan and asked when they expected to have anything. The guy / dinan rep. reply was. You know the 5 series is not exactly a car people modify. I said we'll i know plenty, maybe not with your company, i guess, and the engine is in all platforms forms across the board, including the BMW Flagship 7 series."... The Rep said my car was diffrent, and they would have to make a duffrent hose for thierbintake box. I've called and searched Kies, Burger motor sports etc.. no one has anything. I'm very disappointed about this. I have always had catch cans in all my cars for the last 10 years plus approx. Downpipe would be nice and intake fir a start. A mild tune i can wait till the warrenty period is done... Comming from a back round mostly of American cars where no one looks down on you if you have an ecoboost or a sedan. I find the German market to be a bit picky and snobby. None of this has a reflexion on your channel or videos, I'm talking about the after market performance companies.
Apart from the oil housing issue! so far so good with b48 here in aus.
Audi A4's 2.0L EA888 is better. For tuners, the lower compression is less prone to KNOCK and can be tuned to nearly 400hp with stock turbo. That engine has been proven highly reliable too.
I agree that the EA888 is a great engine but I don't think it's “underrated”. Like you said, it’s very well known in the tuning community.
The BMW Supra has B48 as well as B58 I think they both very nice.
Yes! I recently just bought the the lower case supra with b48 and it's a lightweight punchy 4-cylinder that ABSOLUTELY RIPS on back roads. It's a cool to be able to use like 90% of the car without doing crazy speeds.
On GT7, the Trans is the best thing about this car ...very responsive.
The 10th anniversary came out only in 2019 gsf and rcf.
Im happy whith my M47 engine. lol :D
I recently bought a 530i with a B48B20S engine which is reportedly supposed to be B48TU2. Does anyone has any idea about this B20S engine?
I have a 2013 m6 convertible will never get rid of it. The biggest secret is the power button under the pedal, once pressed all the way down. It goes crazy 🥹
I have a 2016 Cooper S Stage 1. The engine feels bulletproof.
Hahahahaha , graduation gifts for little girls, where I come from....garbage
You sound depressed.
Keep in mind that you need to remove the injectors to remove the valve cover, it's a horrible design.
Badass intro!!
Its a great engine but the problem is plastic valve cover, plastic air/water intercooler, plastic oil cooler and a stupid plastic ball valve thermostat module. All this with the other plastic parts like the coolant overfill, plastic end caps on radiator, plastic water outlets. Theres probably more.
If BMW won't help Toyota, I'm sure Mazda would gladly try to.
Im 16 currently and i cant deny that this vehicle is a beast. So excited to buy it next year!!!!🎉🎉🎉
It was summer 2016 that the 228i with the N20 engine stopped being manufactured and the 230i with B48 started. I know because I was going to order a 228i and ended up ordering my 230i.
...and I got a 6spd manual which they stopped making summer 2017.
did you & many other failed to use the cellphone to record all those repairs? would be nice if you can share the repairs, rather than doing silly showoff brochure videos.
So I was looking at getting a Z4. I took the B48 version out for a spirited drive. I was really impressed. Then I made a mistake and took out the B58. Honestly the 48 was just fine in that car. You could use the engine without going to jail.
I’m guessing the b58 was more fun lol
I was waiting to hear the bmw dong on the first pull
What happened to simply car things? I haven’t seen a video from that channel in years.. I thought you stopped making content. Glad to see you’re still on here
Thanks for your support! I still have the channel, but I decided to start a new project with Auto Wisdom and rebrand. For the foreseeable future I’ll be posting content here.
I was wondering the same thing
👎👎👎👎
Nice review. appreciate the honesty about the transmission. I hope to pick up a Z06 next week with exactly the same configuration and color. I need to watch TH-cam videos before the test drive. the 2019 is way different than my C2, 383 stroker with tremec 5sp..
Thanks for watching! It really is a phenomenal car, and depending on your driving style, the automatic might be a suitable fit.
Mannnnnn where have you been?!Been following since 2020. It’s nogi_kevin. I sold my 2020 F82 and currently have a G82 comp! Much better car than the F82 in every way. Pushing 771 whp with Full E85 and Port Injection. Glad to see you return.
Congratulations on the G82 man! Thanks for supporting the new channel!
Audi's longitudinal EA888 has been around even longer and is fantastic 2.0T engine.
I agree! But I don’t think the EA888 is underrated by any means. It’s very well known in the production market.
Stay classy San Diego... -Ron B
What Happend to ur old TH-cam channel?
there's another german... the m139... not sure about its reliability...
K20C6 is an underrated engine.
Agreed!
I mean it's okay. But it's not as good as the ea888.3/4. This b48 engine is not as reliable as the VW engine and costs more to maintain and repair. The king of 4 cylinder engines is the MB cla amg45 engine
Hater detected
I understand what you’re saying, but the point of this video was not to compare which engine is better. I’m simply stating that the B48 is a very underrated production 4-Cylinder powerplant, hence the title.
the b48 " isnt competing" to cla45 AMGs. They're each made for different purpose. The cla45 already makes its power to the limit. The b48 hasn't reached to that level " from factory '. But with mods. Yes 400whp to the wheels.
@@B140C61b48 can hit 400
A really nice engine...Have it in my BMW 128ti 265BHP and 400nm, more than quick, great auto box which was a surprise..and such a nice interior,,,having a lot of fun with this car.
Is it true that N52 engine has been upgraded in 2009 and there is no problem with crankshaft?
What do u think about the bmw 330i g20 b48 engine
I have two 2004 Boxsters, a base manual, and an 'S' 50th anniversary Spyder with a manual. The base has 228 HP and the "S' has 264. The 'S' is substantially quicker, but both are fantastic drives. One benefit of he base is it's a 100 pounds lighter, and I could actually feel the difference going back to back. Whatever one you purchase, you'll have a great time. Enjoyed the video.
I got a M135i F40 Stage 3 (IPOS IM450 turbo) - love my little hatch!
i got a im500 230i with PI and Billet Intake Manifold 😈
Good Stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it!
more reliable yes, but harder to crack and get anything tuned out of
lol what??? theyre making 650+whp rn
The C8 is 👎🏿👎🏿 The C7 is 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿 Great job wit this video Love it......

Aside from being a slightly clout chasing car unfortunately, it seems like a seriously underrated true drivers cars
I definitely agree!
