    BMW B38 petrol engines (1.2–1.5 l, since 2013)

    The three-cylinder BMW B38 petrol engines with a capacity of 1.2 and 1.5 liters belong to the company’s modular series of power units and have been manufactured since 2013. They are installed on BMW models with front-rear wheel drive, as well as on hybrid versions of BMW i8 cars. In addition, engines of this family are also used on MINI cars.

     

    The engine can be conditionally divided into three types:

    • B38A15 – front-wheel drive
    • B38B15 – rear-wheel drive
    • B38K15 – hybrid
    • BMW B38 engine design

     

    BMW B38 engines belong to a new modular generation of power units. The design uses:

    • Aluminum cylinder block with plasma spraying of steel and a closed cooling jacket.
    • 12-valve aluminum cylinder head with hydraulic compensators.
    • Valvetronic system, VANOS phase regulators on the intake and exhaust shafts.
    • Timing chain drive.
    • Direct fuel injection system.
    • Balance shaft to reduce vibrations.
    • Continental turbocharger with liquid cooling.

    Frequently asked problems and disadvantages of the BMW B38 engine

    1. Wear of the crankshaft support bearingEngine repair B38

    In early versions of the engine by 2015, there was excessive axial clearance, leading to the destruction of the bearing already at 50,000 km. After 2015, the design was updated.

    2. Cracks in the exhaust manifold

    The manifold is made of aluminum and is part of the turbine housing. Due to overheating, it cracks, which causes a leak of coolant.

    3. Floating idle speed

    As in all direct injection engines, the valves become contaminated with carbon deposits, which leads to unstable engine operation.

    4. BMW B38 engine life

    The declared life is 200,000 km, but in practice, with high-quality maintenance, these engines can last up to 300,000 km.

    5. Other weak points:

    • Short-lived catalytic converter
    • Failures in the operation of the adsorber valve
    • Problems with the VANOS and Valvetronic systems at high mileage
