What problems have been found on the BMW N47 engine?
Years 2004-2013

Answer

The N47 engines were born in 2007 and several BMW models were mounted, from the 1 Series up to the X5. The most common problem on these engines concerns the timing chain, initially showing a slight "ticking" around 1500 rpm. The problem appears to be due to an incorrect design of the primary pinion on the crankshaft.
