BMW N47 is a four-cylinder common rail diesel engine that has many improvements over its predecessor, the M47. In 2019 it will be replaced with the B47.

First use

The N47 engine debuted in March 2007 in the face lifted 1 Series BMW E87 and E81 and was available in the 1 Series BMW E82 and E88, which were introduced later in the same year.

Usage in other models

The engine also became available in the 5 Series BMW E60 and E61 from September 2007, several months after the 5 series was face lifted, during which time the older M47 remained available.

In the 2008 model year 3 Series E90/E91/E92/E93 when the entire 3 series range gained the company's Efficient Dynamics technology. Not long after it became available in the X3 and has since then become available in the X1.

The N47 comes as a 1995 cc unit, identical in capacity to the BMW M47TU/TU2 series.

115 bhp version

The 115 bhp tune is for the entry level E81 and E87 116d, as well as the entry level 3 Series E90 316d.

143 bhp version

The 143 bhp model was used in the

  • E90 and E91 318d
  • F20 118d
  • F30 and F31 318d

  • X3 xDrive18d.

163 bhp version

A new 163 bhp/265 lb ft (360 N m) derivative was introduced in September 2009 for the 2010 model year. This version featured exceptionally low CO2 emissions of only 109 g/km and fuel consumption of 68.9 mpg[1]

This version was used in the E90 BMW 320d Efficient Dynamics

177 bhp version

The "standard" x20d model has 14 extra bhp, at 177 bhp but 7 lb ft of torque less at 258 lb ft(350 N m). This is found in the

In Europe, this particular version is one of the most popular engines in the entire range; the best selling 3 series is the 320d, while the 520d is the UK's best selling 5 series.[2]

The updated version of this engine introduced in March 2010 produces 135 kW/184 hp@4000 rpm and 380 Nm@1750-2750 rpm.

Twin turbo version

In October 2007, BMW introduced a twin sequential turbo model. With 204 bhp, it is the first production diesel on sale to achieve a specific output of over 100 bhp per liter. It uses the same turbo technology first shown in the E60 535d.

This engine is on sale in the E81/E82/E87/E88 123d and the E84 X1 xDrive 23d. This is the engine, which won the International Engine of the Year Award 2010.

Future use

Rumors suggested that this engine will make its way into the E89, as a rival to Audi's TT TDI.[3]

BMW has held onto their straight 6 for the new F10/F11 525d, in the first phase of production of the car. Then in the 2nd part of 2011 the straight six was substituted by a diesel twin-turbo 2 litre developing 218 bhp and 450 Nm of torque, the same figure of the old straight six. The badge on the rear of the car says still 525d. Please note that this new 2.0 diesel twin.turbo develops 50 Nm and 14 bhp more than the old 123d engine (with 400Nm and 204 bhp).[4]

It is not yet known whether the new F10/F11 520d, featuring 184 bhp and 280 lb ft (380 Nm) is going to be designated N47 or N47TU.

Timing chain problems

The N47 engine family is prone to excessive timing chain wear and premature failure.[5] Rattling noise from the rear of the engine is indicative of the condition. Timing chain failure may call for engine replacement or a costly repair.[6] The issue applies to all applications and power variants of the engine produced from 01.03.2007 to 01.03.2013. The most seriously affected units which require the most extensive repairs were produced from 01.03.2007 to 05.01.2009.[7]

Other issues

The return spring on the turbo's waste-gate was not originally lubricated or covered, this frequently resulted in early failure causing the waste-gate to remain partially or fully open. With the subsequent loss in compression, fuel consumption increased by 30%-50%. The problem was described by BMW engineers as a "known fault" and was immediately repaired (BMW mobile engineers even carried boxes of an improved spring), however BMW refused to compensate customers for the excessive fuel consumption and denied this fault was their liability.[citation needed]
