Style edit

The style of the article is more like a car magazine than an encyclopedia. WhaleyTim (talk) 09:32, 25 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

E92 edit

E92/320D used the N47/177hp from launch, long before the E90/320D was upgraded to the same engine and AFAIK from model year 2007. --84.215.143.234 (talk) 10:59, 29 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

N47TU? edit

This article needs updating to reflect the new 184bhp derivative currently found in the latest 2011 20d engined BMWs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.5.90.251 (talk) 23:16, 11 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

163hp/120Kw engine edit

I think that the 163hp/120Kw engine has 340 Nm.

1.6 Litre version question edit

Isn't the N47 Available as a 1.6 litre capacity in the MINI Countryman D and MINI One D aswell, or is this a different engine altogether. I;m led to believe , according to the MINI Countryman article ,that the basic 1.6 litre engine is a variant of the N47, Can someone shed some light on this for everyone who's confused about this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.13.139.135 (talk) 00:49, 18 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Incorrect update to section "Timing Chain Problems"? edit

The section on timing chain problems has been updated and cites a BBC Watchdog article. Having read the article I've concluded that there is no justification for the addition of "UPDATE - It now seems that there are issues appearing with a limited number of engines manufactured after the supposed safe date of 01.03.2011" to the Wikipedia page.

The article does say that a used car bought in 2011 with 100,000 miles already on the clock had a timing chain problem. Later on the article describes the same car as being 5 years old; with the article being dated June 2013 that would mean the car was manufactured in 2008. The article also reports that a low mileage car experienced the same issue, but does not say how old the car was.

Atleast according to some sources this is the same engine as in the new Toyotas. Engine codes 1WW and 2WW. NearCry (talk) 02:28, 23 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
