I've seen this guy's videos and I don't put a lot of faith in what he has to say about very many things. There are just too many variables to know what his issues might be. Change your oil early and often (every 5k miles for me), don't rev the piss out of it and you will be fine.

The B58 comes in many formats and tunings.
He is talking about the high output sports versions.
Not the version used in the Grenadier.
The Grenadier engine has been detuned (as stated) and remapped for reliability.
In Australia we also get the B57 diesel (my vehicle) which has again been massively detuned for reliability.
Keep in mind also the gearboxes used in the Grenadier and max torque figures below highlighted for petrol/gas (8HP51) and Diesel (8HP76).

B58 to date is probably the best inline 6 BMW has ever produced.
