The model's known weak points, from our buyer's guide.
- Timing chain stretch and wear on the N47 diesel is common on the early engines and less so on the F10 (roughly 2010-2013). The worst failures were concentrated on pre-2011 N47s, and most F10 cars got a revised chain that fails far less often, but it is still the one fault that can write off the engine. The N47 runs its chain at the back of the engine, and a stretched chain rattles on cold start from the bulkhead side. If it jumps or snaps the engine can be badly damaged, and because the chain is at the rear the job is labour-heavy. Budget €1,500-2,500 for a preventative chain kit; a failed engine is far more. Treat any rattle on a cold N47 as a stop-and-inspect.
- The EGR cooler on the N47, B47 and N57 diesels was the subject of a genuine BMW safety recall: the cooler can leak internally, letting coolant mix with exhaust soot, which in rare cases led to smouldering and fire risk. Check that the recall work was carried out. If a car still shows mysterious coolant loss or an EGR fault, budget €400-800 for the cooler and related parts.
- Cooling system plastic parts on both generations are wear items: the electric water pump, thermostat and plastic housings tend to fail with age rather than mileage, often flagging an overheat or coolant warning. A water pump and thermostat together is typically €500-900 fitted at an independent.
