Used or reconditioned?
For the high-volume compact applications (Groups 1 and 2 — 1 Series and 3 Series), used units are widely available given strong donor parc, offering good value. For the higher-value executive and SUV applications (Groups 3 and 4 — 5 Series, X1, X3, Z4), reconditioned units are more commonly selected given the higher replacement cost and vehicle value. Reconditioned engines are stripped, cleaned, inspected, machined where required, and rebuilt to factory tolerances, with all wear items replaced. Used units are tested and guaranteed, but retain their original wear state. Choose based on your budget and how long you plan to keep the vehicle. The N47 engine powers a large portion of BMW's 2007–2014 range, including the 1, 3, and 5 Series as well as X1 and X3. The most common replacement driver is timing chain failure at the gearbox end — the chain is mounted to the transmission side of the engine, making in-vehicle replacement labour-intensive and expensive. Every prepared N47 unit we supply has the timing chain, guides, and tensioners renewed as standard before dispatch.
N47 Engine Buying FAQs
Answers to common fitment, condition, warranty and delivery questions.
A:The N47 engine was fitted to BMW 1 Series (E81/E82/E87/E88, F20/F21), 3 Series (E90/E91/E92/E93, F30/F31), 5 Series (E60/E61, F10/F11), X1 (E84), X3 (E83/F25), and Z4 (E89) from 2007–2014. It also appears in Toyota Avensis (T270) and Verso (ARA10) as a cross-brand application.
A:The N47 is also known as 2.0d (model badging), 20d, N47D20, and colloquially as the "BMW 2.0 diesel." Sub-codes include N47D20A through N47D20K for different output variants — these are variant-level codes, not separate hubs.
A:For the high-volume compact applications (Groups 1 and 2 — 1 Series and 3 Series), used units are widely available given strong donor parc, offering good value. For the higher-value executive and SUV applications (Groups 3 and 4 — 5 Series, X1, X3, Z4), reconditioned units are more commonly selected given the higher replacement cost and vehicle value. Consider your budget, intended ownership period, and the vehicle's value when deciding — reconditioned units offer factory-spec reliability, while used units provide cost-effective replacement for older vehicles.
A:Use our reg checker plus your V5C to confirm chassis code, and check the engine block stamp (N47D20A–K variant code). Match against the application group listed — 1 Series engines do not fit 3 Series without modification, and Toyota-spec N47 units are not interchangeable with BMW-spec.
A:6-12 month warranty included on all units. UK nationwide palletised delivery with free compatibility check before dispatch. Every recon unit has timing chain, guides, and tensioners renewed as standard.
