Hello all. Just purchased a lovely 320D M sport with 97500 on the clock. I assumed the engine would be a B47 variant therefore less likely to suffer from timing chain failure. However, I have just checked against the VIN & to my horror, the car has a N47T engine. Is this bad news?

I had various quotes ranging from ÂŁ695 to ÂŁ1900. I went with the middle one for ÂŁ995. Spoke to the guy who sounded extremely knowledgeable & he did mention that they will check the clutch & flywheel at the same time as you say it is just the cost of parts. Once it's replaced he encouraged me to stick to the 10k service & make sure whoever does the service uses the correct spec oil.
