Engines We Specialise In

BMW Diesel Engine Expertise

BMW 2.0d (N47)

Engine Code

N47D20

Displacement

2.0L 4-cylinder Diesel

Years

2007–2014

Power Output

116–184 bhp

The N47 is one of BMW's most widely used diesel engines, but it gained a poor reputation for timing chain failure at the rear of the engine — a costly and labour-intensive repair. Properly rebuilt, these engines are refined and economical.

Models: 1 Series, 3 Series, 5 Series, X1, X3

Common Issues

  • Timing chain failure (rear-mounted, high labour cost)
  • Timing chain tensioner and guide rail wear
  • Swirl flap failure and inlet manifold damage
  • EGR valve blockage
  • Injector seal leaks and fuel dilution
  • Oil consumption on high-mileage units

Early diagnosis prevents costly damage. Call us today if you notice any warning signs.
