Variant History

BMW 2 Series M240i Engine History & Specs at a Glance

The BMW 2 Series M240i arrived in 2017 as the replacement for the M235i, bringing BMW's new modular B58 3.0-litre inline-six turbo engine to the F22 Coupe and F23 Convertible. The M240i badge represented a significant step up in performance, with the B58 delivering 335-340hp compared to the M235i's 326hp N55. The G42 generation M240i (2021-present) took performance to another level with 374hp from an updated B58.

Common Problems

BMW 2 Series M240i Engine Problems Repair Cost vs Replacement

The BMW 2 Series M240i has been powered by two generations of 3.0-litre inline-six engines: the earlier N55 (2014-2016 M235i) and the B58 (2017-present M240i). The N55 suffers from plastic charge pipe failure and oil starvation under hard use, while the B58 - widely regarded as one of BMW's best modern engines - has its own plastic component weaknesses including the oil filter housing and water pump. Rebuilt engines through EnginesMarket include upgraded components addressing the original failure point, plus a minimum 12-month unlimited-mileage warranty.

Common failure points and repair options

Charge Pipe Failure

Affected
BMW 2 Series M235i (N55B30, 2014-2016) - predecessor to M240i
Typical failure mileage
40,000-80,000 miles
Root cause
The N55's plastic charge pipe is notoriously prone to cracking under boost pressure. The OEM charge pipes used on the N55 engine are plastic, which becomes brittle and weak after time and repeated heat cycles. Once the charge pipe cracks, the engine loses boost pressure, triggering a drivetrain malfunction warning.

Repair options

Repair tierDealer priceSpecialist price
Charge pipe replacement£600-£1,000£350-£650
Full turbo system inspection£300-£600£150-£350
Full Replacement - rebuilt/reconditioned engine£5,000-£7,000£3,000-£4,200
Our recommendation
Charge pipe failure is a well-known weakness on the N55. Upgrading to an aluminium charge pipe is a relatively inexpensive fix that prevents future failure. If the engine has suffered catastrophic boost-related damage, a rebuilt engine with upgraded components is the safest option.

Plastic Oil Filter Housing Cracking

Affected
BMW 2 Series M240i (B58B30M0, B58B30O1, 2017-present)
Typical failure mileage
50,000-100,000 miles
Root cause
BMW's redesign for the clean-sheet B58 straight-six included an oil filter housing made from plastic, which has been prone to becoming brittle, cracking, and leaking oil, coolant, or both. The housing tends to split if the cap is tightened too tight or even just over time as the plastic becomes brittle from numerous heat cycles. This is a known potentially catastrophic problem if left unchecked.

Repair options

Repair tierDealer priceSpecialist price
Oil filter housing replacement£1,500-£2,500£800-£1,500
Full cooling system inspection£300-£600£150-£350
Full Replacement - rebuilt/reconditioned engine£5,000-£7,000£3,500-£5,200
Our recommendation
Oil filter housing cracking is a well-documented issue on B58 engines. Replacing the plastic housing with an upgraded metal unit is the definitive fix. If you notice coolant loss, oil contamination, or a sweet smell from the engine bay, have the housing inspected immediately.

Water Pump Failure

Affected
BMW 2 Series M240i (B58B30M0, B58B30O1, 2017-present)
Typical failure mileage
60,000-80,000 miles
Root cause
The electric water pump on B58 engines is known to fail prematurely, which can lead to overheating. Preventative replacement around 100,000 km (62,000 miles) is recommended.

Repair options

Repair tierDealer priceSpecialist price
Water pump replacement£800-£1,400£500-£900
Full cooling system overhaul£1,200-£2,200£800-£1,500
Full Replacement - rebuilt/reconditioned engine£5,000-£7,000£3,500-£5,200
Our recommendation
Water pump failure is a known issue on B58 engines. If you notice the temperature gauge rising or the engine running hot, have the cooling system inspected immediately. Preventative replacement at 60,000-80,000 miles is advisable.

Oil Starvation

Affected
BMW 2 Series M235i (N55B30, 2014-2016) - predecessor to M240i
Typical failure mileage
Track use or sustained hard driving - can occur at any mileage
Root cause
It's well documented that N55 BMW turbo motors can suffer from oil control problems. Under sustained high-G cornering, oil can surge away from the oil pickup, leading to momentary oil pressure loss and potential bearing damage.

Repair options

Repair tierDealer priceSpecialist price
Baffled sump installation£800-£1,400£500-£900
Oil pump and bearing inspection£600-£1,200£400-£800
Full engine rebuild£5,000-£7,500£3,500-£5,000
Our recommendation
If you track your M235i or drive it hard on B-roads, a baffled sump is a wise investment. If you've experienced an oil pressure warning, have the engine inspected immediately - bearing damage can escalate quickly.

Don't Let Engine Failure Write Off Your BMW 2 Series M240i

The M240i's N55 and B58 straight-six engines are among BMW's finest, but plastic component failures - charge pipes on the N55, oil filter housings and water pumps on the B58 - can escalate quickly if ignored. With rebuilt engines available from £3,000, a 12-month warranty on every unit, and nationwide delivery and fit options, replacing your M240i engine through EnginesMarket is often more cost-effective than main dealer repairs.
