Supertech SPRK-MCB58 – Beehive Valve Spring Kit (BMW B58)
Key Features
-
Complete kit of 24 beehive springs purpose-built for the 3.0 L BMW B58 engine found in the latest 340i, 440i, M240i, Z4 M40i and Toyota GR Supra.
-
Seat pressure 75 lbs @ 37 mm and open pressure 155 lbs @ 10 mm lift—ample margin for aggressive cam profiles and high boost.
-
Maximum lift 12.2 mm with a coil-bind height of 23.20 mm, ensuring compatibility with popular performance camshafts.
-
Tapered beehive shape lowers moving mass and raises the natural frequency of the spring, suppressing valve-train resonance beyond 7 000 RPM.
-
Includes your choice of steel (TE) or titanium (TI) retainers plus hardened steel spring seats for precise location and reduced rotating weight.
-
Crafted from premium chrome-silicon alloy—heat-treated and shot-peened for exceptional fatigue life under sustained track conditions.
-
Direct drop-in with OEM guides and Supertech or factory valves; no cylinder-head machining required.

Benefits
-
Eliminates valve float—maintains full cam control at elevated RPM and boost levels.
-
Improves throttle response—lighter retainers reduce reciprocating mass.
-
Future-proof—headroom for even more aggressive cams or additional boost down the road.
-
Track-ready durability—alloy selection and heat treatment resist thermal fatigue during long sessions.
