BMW 7 Series 745e Engine Problems Repair Cost vs Replacement
The BMW 745e is powered by the B58B30C - one of BMW's most robust modern engines - paired with a plug-in hybrid system. While the B58 is significantly more reliable than older BMW turbo engines, it has a few well-documented weak points, primarily around the cooling system.Rebuilt B58B30C engines supplied through EnginesMarket include upgraded cooling system components, fresh gaskets and seals, and a minimum 12-month unlimited-mileage warranty.
Common failure points and repair options
🌡️
Coolant System Leaks
Affected
BMW 7 Series 745e (B58B30C/B58B30M0, 2019-2022)
Typical failure mileage
50,000-80,000 miles
Root cause
The B58's plastic water pump, expansion tank and thermostat housing can develop cracks over time due to heat cycling. Coolant leaks are the most frequently reported issue across the B58 family.
Repair options
Repair tier
Dealer price
Specialist price
Water pump replacement
£900-£1,400
£600-£950
Expansion tank and hose replacement
£500-£800
£350-£600
Full Replacement - rebuilt/reconditioned engine
£7,500-£10,500
£5,500-£8,000 (matches Section 4 rebuilt figure)
Our recommendation
The B58's cooling system is its Achilles' heel - replace the water pump and expansion tank preventatively at around 60,000-70,000 miles if you're keeping the car. It's far cheaper than repairing an overheated engine. If your 745e has already overheated, get a compression test done immediately; if the head gasket is compromised, a rebuilt engine is the safest route.
Some B58 engines develop oil consumption issues due to PCV valve failure or, in rarer cases, valve stem seal wear. This can lead to blue smoke on startup and the need for frequent top-ups.

Full Replacement - rebuilt/reconditioned engine
£7,500-£10,500
£5,500-£8,000
Our recommendation
Start with a PCV valve replacement - it's the most common cause of oil consumption on the B58 and the cheapest fix. If oil consumption persists, have a specialist perform a leak-down test to determine whether valve stem seals or piston rings are the root cause. A rebuilt engine with new valve stem seals and piston rings is the definitive solution.
The 12 kWh lithium-ion battery pack naturally degrades over time, reducing electric-only range. Battery cells can also fail individually, triggering warning lights and reduced performance.

Complete battery pack replacement
£12,000-£15,000
£9,000-£12,000
Our recommendation
Hybrid battery degradation is inevitable but typically gradual. If your 745e's electric range has dropped noticeably, start with a diagnostic health check. Individual module replacement is often more cost-effective than a full pack replacement. Note that a healthy battery is essential for the 745e's 34-36 mile electric range - without it, you're effectively driving a heavier, less efficient petrol 7 Series.
Don't Let Engine Failure Write Off Your BMW 7 Series 745e
The B58-powered 745e is one of the most refined plug-in hybrids on the market, but coolant leaks, oil consumption and hybrid battery degradation can turn expensive quickly. A rebuilt engine through EnginesMarket addresses cooling system weaknesses with upgraded components and comes with a 12-month unlimited-mileage warranty.

BMW 7 Series 745e Engine ReplacementFrequently Asked Questions
Everything BMW 7 Series 745e owners usually ask before choosing a rebuilt, reconditioned or used replacement engine.
A replacement B58B30C engine for a BMW 745e typically costs £3,500-£5,500 for a used unit, £5,000-£6,500 for a reconditioned unit, and £5,500-£8,000 for a fully rebuilt engine with a 12-month warranty.Supply and fit adds approximately £780-£1,040 in specialist labour (12-16 hours at £65/hr). The hybrid system's additional complexity may add to labour time.
Used engines: lowest cost, variable condition and mileage
Reconditioned engines: restored to OEM tolerances, balanced cost and reliability
Rebuilt engines: fully stripped and rebuilt with new components, best warranty
A typical 745e is worth £25,000-£45,000, making a rebuilt engine (£5,500-£8,000) a sound investment if the car is otherwise in good condition. The 745e's high retained value compared to older 7 Series models means replacement is almost always financially viable.
Check MOT history and bodywork before committing
Low-mileage, well-maintained examples justify the investment
Most BMW 745e engine replacements take 2-4 days for supply and fit at a specialist garage. The B58 is a relatively straightforward engine to remove and refit, but the hybrid system adds complexity. Allow additional time if the car requires:
Cooling system components (water pump, thermostat, expansion tank)
High-voltage battery system checks
xDrive drivetrain components (xDrive models)
Collection and delivery (1-2 days depending on location)
Yes - all rebuilt and reconditioned BMW 745e engines supplied through EnginesMarket include a minimum 12-month unlimited-mileage warranty. Used engines typically have a 3-6 month warranty depending on the supplier. Extended warranty options are available with some specialists.

740e: 2.0L four-cylinder, 326 hp, produced 2016-2019
745e: 3.0L six-cylinder, 394 hp, produced 2019-2022
