Whether you own a BMW 116d, 118d, 120d, 220d, 320d, 420d, 520d, X1, X3 or a MINI Cooper D, our experienced technicians provide specialist B47 timing chain replacement services for customers throughout the UK.
What Is The BMW B47 Engine?
The BMW B47 engine is a 2.0 litre four-cylinder turbo diesel engine introduced by BMW in 2014 to replace the earlier N47 engine.
The B47 was designed to improve efficiency, reduce emissions and enhance reliability while maintaining the strong torque and fuel economy BMW diesel engines are known for.
The engine is fitted across a huge range of BMW and MINI models and remains one of BMW’s most popular diesel engines.

Do BMW B47 Engines Suffer Timing Chain Problems?
Although the B47 engine was developed after the N47 and features a revised timing chain design, timing chain wear can still occur as mileage increases.
We regularly see B47 engines requiring timing chain replacement due to:
- Timing chain stretch
- Guide rail wear
- Tensioner wear
- Extended oil service intervals
- Poor quality aftermarket components
- High mileage operation
Ignoring early warning signs can result in expensive engine damage and complete timing chain failure.

Common Symptoms Of B47 Timing Chain Wear
If your B47 engine is showing any of the following symptoms, a timing chain inspection is recommended:
Rattling Noise From The Rear Of The Engine
Timing Correlation Fault Codes
Engine Management Light
Complete Timing Chain Failure
• Bent valves
• Broken rocker arms
• Damaged pistons
• Camshaft damage
• Cylinder head damage
• Major engine repair costs
Poor Starting Or Rough Running
Early diagnosis can save thousands in repair costs.
