George that's good sound advice, worked at a BMW dealers for 15 years, the School run X5s and 1 Series Diesels were the worst. But the same cars when owned by motorway high milers we saw less issues. The emissions gear is for a perfect world , we don't live in a perfect world and why i chose to delete EGR system and ran straight pipe on my old 530.

Delete EGR, swirls, DPF, and tune it. Clean intake, manifold, replace fuel filter every 25k miles, do ZF8 speed fluid and filter from FCP every 50k miles , and run a fuel additive to injectors clean every few tanks. Lastly and not lease. CHANGE oil every 5k miles with top grade oil 5w40 Amsoil l, Mobil Delvac 1 or Valvoline premium blue and I personally add Hyperlube Oil Heavy duty additive with ester technology. No chain issues yet. The chains wear from sludge build and old oil mostly guys. Never go 15k miles like BMW says. So stupid

Spot on George. Yes £1k got me a full chains replacement at 172k. I could hear the engine getting noisier on a cold start. She was like a new car afterwards. Now my oil cooler gaskets gone at 195k which I’m replacing at weekend. ✊

Keep em coming George, good stuff! Easiest way to see if your manifold is full of carbon is undo the air-charge sensor bolted onto the manifold with one 10mm bolt, check the hole in the sensor itself and make sure it's not blocked with carbon (unblock it carefully with something plastic, don't push too hard into the sensor). Then with a phone light you'll just be able to see into the manifold through the hole where the sensor came from and how bad it is. It's not a hard job to remove the manifold, decoke and refit giving the ports at the same time. A caustic soda bath will clean the manifold perfectly and won't attack the plastic, leaving it looking like it just came out the factory, in some cases giving you a noticable boost in power if it was badly coked. Don't forget to remove any sensors or electrical components before giving it a bath ;) Don't waste your money on a hydrogen clean, it will do absolutely nothing to remove carbon build up in the manifold but it will empty your pocket somewhat with no real world benefit. If your top timing chain is stretched and tensioner is loose it'll rattle on cold start for a couple of seconds, middle chain will make a wooshing sound at 1500rpm when engine is warm. Any of these noises are a cause for concern and it needs a full timing kit ASAP. N47 engines can suffer from broken chains from as little as 85,000 miles depending on the number of services and oil quality. Cheap rates for any of these jobs for George's subscribers around the Merseyside area :D

Use a good brand synthetic low ash oil. This is important for your dpf. The bottle will have a rating on the back if it’s low ash. At least in America they do. Change every 3-4000 depending on driving habits and enjoy your car. Do not under any circumstances fall for the “annual, 10,000 mile” oils they sell. In a typical car this may be okay.

No worries, thanks as always Brian!

Most people assume EGR issues when rough idle on cold starts. It's a simple case of changing the engine glow plugs as they're not just there to assist compression in cold temperatures. They're used by the DME (diesel engine management system) as a sensor to ensure smooth operation of the engine. It's basic maintenance as you would change spark plugs on a petrol engine (although they are far more difficult to remove without breaking). And to anyone who thinks removing the EGR is a good idea: bear in mind the engine was designed (and it costs €Bn to make an engine) from the ground up to run with FAP and EGR. For example EGR reduces engine load / stress during light throttle applications.

Purrrfect

on our diesels i dip our map sensors in acetone a couple of times a year and clean egr valve, keeps them running well

My best tip is use a decent oil. I used to use NAPA 5W-30 for my 67 reg F30 335D X drive N57 engine, as I got it at a heavily discounted price due to a family member working for a motor factor company, but always found that the throttle response and power produced wasn't as good as I recalled it being when using the NAPA oil. Having recently had the oil changed 3 days ago, and this time using CASTROL EDGE 5W-30 BMW Longlife 04 oil it performs MUCH better. I used to have to put the car gearbox in sport mode by pushing the gear selector to the left for overtakes. Since this oil change I now don't have to do that, the kickdown and power is where it should be.

Look into some products made by "Hotshots Secret", they might have an oil additive that you may like. Do your own research on them.

I want to mention if you have bad flywheel or bad crankshaft pulley on n47 you can stretch ur timing chain from all those of vibrations. It is best to maintain this engine. I have e90 n47 177hp and omg it had so many problems at 322k kilometers it started to make timing chain rattle. So i pulled out gearbox i saw clutch wasnt in the great condition flywheel had all that liquid from ir falling out dpf was fully damaged idk how my turbo wasnt damaged that much. So change all The gaskets timing chain flywheel pulley belts removed dpf egr is still in place but programmed out swirl flaps removed and now has a remap 206hp and 411nm best daily driver. And by The way timing chain was still original on 322k kilometers. I bought it at 287k kilometers.

As far as oil services go, I would recommend getting oil samples in and making a determination on the type of mileage you put on. One person's 5000kms can be much different than the next. And one person's oil choice may be different than the next. No sense needlessly changing oil when a lab can tell you. Run 8000 kms and test it to see if you can go longer or shorter. Simple.

how do you pass the technical inspection? In Germany wouldn't be possible without EGR and DPF!
