520D 2009 N47 recall check

[Tompug206]

Hi guys, looking at buying a 520d, found a lovely example but I have concerns regarding the timing chain issues. I have found out the vin and contacted two different BMW dealers who have said there is no outstanding recalls on that vehicle.

Is it safe to assume that the vehicle will be fine? Neither dealer would elaborate on that.

2009 was bang in the middle of this timing chain fiasco.

This is probably the best thread on the internet about it

..and as I have said before on here a BMW service manager said to me "off the record its only now (sep 2014) that I would spend my own money on an N47 Engine"

It wasn’t a recall. It was a quality enhancement, it’s ended now.
