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. In addition, the engine has to be removed from the car in order to replace the timing chain. The cause of the timing chain problem is said to have been eliminated for engines produced after 2015. Also, the crankshaft damper on this engine does not tend to last very long. Cracks tend to form between the cylinders as the engine overheats.Overall, this engine can last around 180,000 to 300,000 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.
