Also means that reliability of recently updated B46B20 engines are definitely much better, since the B58B30 has shown to be a truly reliable engine, the B46B20 can't be far off if it holds true that the component quality is the same.
This is the whole idea of modular design, to use as many identical parts as possible. Its the same except its 2 cylinders less.
