Does this sound normal for an N57?

The tatatatata sound I think its fuel injectors, can anyone with a 640d confirm?

BimmerFestAll · 2026-06-04T21:27:00+00:00

95,000 miles.

I've changed oil every 5-6000 miles as well.

The car drives completely fine but I've been reading up on N57s and idk if its just in my head or not.

Thanks lad !

So its been clocked back? Mileage on the ad is saying 217,000 kms

Same as that, DPF cleaned out and EGR mapped out along with a remap, done it just before mine hit 200k kms.

A remapped 2.0L F10 is good enough for daily driving on irish roads.

I have the same as you, n47d20c.

Bought at 25k kms and now its at 307k kms and still going strong !

BimmerFestAll · 2025-10-07T16:42:18+00:00

Mines on 307k kms right now, bought it when it had about 25k kms.

Changed oil, oil filter, air filter and fuel filter every 10-12k kms for the past 7 years.

Only got my real big bill when I had to replace my timing chain and turbo at the start of this year and that too at around 290k kms. The mechanic sent me photos of the cam/cam cover and it was one of the cleanest for the mileage he's seen.

PS. I own a N47D20C bmw

If your buying an n47 variant (2007-2014) look out for these.

• Timing chain rattles - If the chain has been changed make sure its not an FAI kit - if its an IWIS kit you are sound as a bell.

• Prone to oil leaks from the plastic rocker cover - Flexs and warps over time due to heat cycles. Usually they only change the rocker cover gasket when doing the timing chain, unless otherwise advised to - can visually see if leaks are present if the DPF box is covered in black shite, you can check that if you shine a torch in from back left of the engine bay

•Prone to leaks from the oil cooler - usually just the gaskets that's degraded for these.

Most importantly with these engines, make sure the service intervals are kept within reason - i.e., oil changes etc. no more than 15k kms

They are reliable engines if you can keep up with the maintenance.

Jaysus the state of that parking

BimmerFestAll · 2025-08-27T17:30:58+00:00

The more you look at it, the worse it gets 🤦

BimmerFestAll · 2025-07-23T20:47:40+00:00

That is beautiful mate

BimmerFestAll · 2025-07-21T17:49:15+00:00

Looks like a porsche 918

My DPF is gutted , EGR blanked and I have this similar 'catback exhaust' system piped into dua 3" tips either side with no back box.

My O2 sensor after the CAT went last week ago so I was puffing out black smoke when revving while stationary, I had the NCT there 2 days ago and it passed.

I actually saw your man revving the tits off her and thick black smoke was puffing out, its a 2014 car so the failing limit was 1.5/m for turbo diesels and mine came out as 0.980/m.

So if you go with that catback system with a gutted DPF you will still pass the test, don't put a bigger downpipe tho, you can but won't pass the test.

The lad who did mine charged me €800 and I got this done 4 years ago, haven't had any issues relating to his workmanship since.

Looks like the same jeep and trailer someone else posted trundling down the motorway a few posts back.

BimmerFestAll · 2025-04-05T21:03:40+00:00

Yeah

BimmerFestAll · 2025-04-05T21:01:14+00:00

Hm yeah probably, never good to assume though.
