- TIMING CHAIN WARNING: N47 has a problematic timing chain design. Get it checked before buying.
- CRITICAL: BMW N47 diesel with 150k+ km has very high risk of timing chain failure. This is the #1 dangerous engine on the used market. Budget €3,000-5,000 for potential chain replacement, or get a pre-purchase timing chain stretch test.
- BMW N47 diesel has timing chain at the rear of the engine. This is a fundamentally flawed design. Even at lower mileage, budget for potential timing chain work. Get a pre-purchase inspection with timing chain stretch measurement.
