BMW 420d engine N47TU

Engine reliability and common problems:

Because of problems with the timing chain, which tends to stretch at 100,000 km, the BMW N47 engine is sometimes called the worst BMW engine. Replacing the timing chain also requires removing the engine from the car. For engines produced after 2015, the cause of the timing chain problem has reportedly been eliminated. Also, the crankshaft damper on this engine does not tend to last very long. Cracking between the cylinders tends to occur due to the engine overheating.
Overall, this engine can last around 210,000 to 360,000 km if properly maintained, using the correct quality oil and fuel, and carrying out regular checks and maintenance.
The engine has hydraulic valve tappets (lifters), which provide quieter operation and do not require periodic adjustment, but are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in the event of failure.

Engine displacement	1995 cm³
Number of cylinders	4
Bore (cylinder diameter)	84 mm
Stroke length (piston move)	90 mm
Compression ratio	16.5 : 1
Camshaft drive	Timing chain Chain motors are considered more reliable, chain replacement usually is required less often than a timing belt, but they are often louder and vibrate more. More service info
Timing chain change interval	100,000 km (recommended) Sometimes manufacturers do not specify timing chain replacement intervals and design chains for engine life. However, once the recommended change interval has been reached, it is recommended to periodically check the condition of the chain and to change the chain if excessive stretching is detected or if unusual noises from the engine or other symptoms occur.
Fuel system	Common Rail Common rail fuel injection provides more engine power, is quieter, more environmentally friendly and offers better fuel economy, but is more expensive to maintain and repair.

Engine also used on	BMW 5 sērija BMW 3 sērija BMW 1 sērija BMW X3 BMW X1 and 2 other models
	Generally, the use of an engine in several models and its long production run is an indication of the quality of the engine and the success of its design.

Carmakers tend to use similar engines with different parameters for models available in different markets and time periods.
