Hi everyone,

I’m in the market for a BMW M440i Gran Coupé xDrive (right-hand drive, 2022 or newer) and was initially planning to import one from Japan. However, I recently heard that Japanese models might not come with the 48V mild hybrid system that is standard in other markets.

When running a VIN check on some Japanese imports, I noticed the engine code is B58B30B, but I couldn’t find clear confirmation about whether the 48V mild hybrid system is included in these models.

Does anyone here have experience with Japanese-spec M440i Gran Coupé models? Are they truly missing the mild hybrid system, or is this misinformation?

I’d appreciate any insights, especially from owners, importers, or BMW specialists familiar with Japanese imports.

Thanks in advance!
