Known issues by generation
While the B58 3.0L turbo inline-6 engine is generally reliable, enthusiasts should be aware of common issues such as oil-filter-housing gasket leaks, valve-cover-gasket leaks approaching 60-80k miles, and potential VANOS solenoid wear at high mileage. Additionally, the ZF 8HP 8-speed automatic transmission requires mandatory service at 60k miles, despite lifetime-fill marketing claims. The introduction of the 6-speed manual transmission in 2023 has sparked interest among collectors seeking pure driving experiences, offering an alternative to the traditional automatic transmission.

Engaging with reputable valuation tools like Hagerty and auction houses such as Bring a Trailer or Mecum is essential for understanding the market, making a qualified appraiser mandatory for donations at this collector level.
