Does the Supra have a B58?

Yes—the current Toyota GR Supra uses BMW's B58 engine in its 3.0-liter turbo inline-six variant, while the 2.0-liter model relies on BMW's B48 turbo inline-four.


Context: the Supra’s engine pairing


The GR Supra was developed in collaboration with BMW, sharing powertrain technology across both brands. In the current generation, the 3.0-liter version uses the BMW B58 inline-six turbo engine, while the entry-level 2.0-liter uses the BMW B48 inline-four. All current Supra models are equipped with an automatic transmission; a manual option has not been offered.


3.0L turbo inline-six (B58)


The 3.0-liter variant is the performance-focused option and relies on BMW’s B58 engine family. It benefits from the turbocharged inline-six configuration and is paired exclusively with an automatic transmission in the GR Supra lineup.


2.0L turbo inline-four (B48)


The 2.0-liter model uses BMW’s B48 turbocharged inline-four. It provides brisk performance and efficiency, and, like the 3.0, is mated to an automatic transmission in the Supra lineup.


Engine options at a glance


Below is a quick snapshot of how the engines line up across the current GR Supra lineup.



  • 2.0-liter turbo inline-four (BMW B48) — entry-level engine

  • 3.0-liter turbo inline-six (BMW B58) — performance-oriented engine


In short, the Supra lineup centers on two BMW engines: the B58 for the 3.0 variants and the B48 for the 2.0 variants. The B58 is not used in the 2.0 model.


Summary


The GR Supra’s engine strategy hinges on BMW’s two-powerplant family: the B58 for the 3.0 inline-six and the B48 for the 2.0 inline-four. The B58-equipped 3.0 model represents the performance spear of the lineup, while the 2.0 offers a more accessible entry point. Both configurations are paired with an automatic transmission, and no production manual option is currently offered for the GR Supra.

Is the B58 in the Toyota Supra?


The Toyota Supra A90 Final Edition uses an uprated B58 with more power than in any BMW model equipped with this inline-six engine.



What BMW engine is in the Supra?


The Toyota Supra uses a BMW-sourced engine, the turbocharged B58 inline-six (in 3.0L models) or B48 inline-four (in 2.0L models). Toyota conducts its own tuning to optimize the engine for the Supra's specific performance and characteristics.
 

  • B58: The 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six engine is the most common and powerful option, known for its significant low-end torque. It shares a platform with the BMW Z4 but is tuned by Toyota. 
  • B48: The 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine is used in some markets and was introduced to the US market for the 2021 model year. 



Is the B58 like the 2JZ?


The 2JZ has a perfectly squared setup with a 86mm bore and 86mm stroke, while the B58 is an oversquared setup with 82mm bore and a 94.6mm stroke. The 2JZ also runs lower compression ratios at 8:5:1 when compared to the 11:0:1 in the gen1 B58, and 10:2:1 in the gen2 and gen3 B58 variants.
