Hi, every now and then like 2-3 times a month my car blows som white smoke out of the exhaust. The white smoke lasts for about 10-15 minutes and then disappears. The smoke isnt that thick. The engine is a n47D20C in a e90 320d. I have downpipe and cold air intake. The car is also stage 1 tuned...

Hello, it's been a while! After not owning a BMW for a couple of years there's finally one in the household. I just bought a -12 318d for my partner, which the previous owner claimed had just had its DPF replaced. I'm either incredibly unlucky or more probably fooled. After just a few...

Hi! I'm very new to this bmw thing. I just changed my injectors on a bmw e46 320d m47, the problem is that the INPA program is showing that the car isn't reading the main injector, I believe it's the first one. Does anyone know how to register ir or to make the program understand that there's a...

Hi all, I was wondering why my 520dat 2011-model is missing the "twin power turbo" text on the engine cover. I believe the engine in this car is N47 which I know is single turbo, the text is only a marketing trick. But I have seen other F11 with identical engines having the engine cover with...

Hey guys looking to purchase 2014 328d what are your thought? How reliable is a drivetrain in these cars. What I have gathered so far: big issues with High Pressure Fuel Pump, Timing chains tends to stretch out might even jump a tooth and DPF surprises. Please correct me if I am wrong or I...

Hi guys. I'm planning to buy a 2010 320d, I heard that BMW solved the N47 timing chain problem in 2009. Does that mean a 320d built in 2010 will have no such a problem? and are there any suggestions or anything I should look for in particular? thanks:):):)

Hi guys, My BMW e90lci with n47 (2010) is doing some noise since a few months, it is like a roar noise that starts at 1500 rpm, sometimes it's between 1500-2000 more or less, and when the engine gets the 80-85ºC it stops, so it's just when it's cold, and some occasional times it doesn't happen...

Hello. I am thinking about buying a new X5. Was told they have the N47T engine where the timing gear starts to rattle. It's supposed to be fixed to the point that the chain will not break, but it could make some noises, maybe around 100.000 km. Now when I check the parts catalog at RealOEM I...

Hi guys I have a question ... I have an engine N47D20C a type which can lead to breakage of timing chain and it seems to me, that there is some kind of a noise from the area where timing chain is (I attached the videos and in the first I find it clearer to hear). I would like to know your...

Hi all, I've got a 2009 E91 320D with the N47 engine. I just bought this car a few weeks back. It then had a slight chirping noise coming from the drive belt. I bought the car and thought this would be a easy fix. Ordered a new belt, tensioner, and the two idler pulleys. Upon installing these...
