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

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.

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.

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.

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.

I am very strict on the maintenance schedule and I put in the appropriate oil such as ACEA C3 and BMW LL-04 and my favourite variety is the 0W-40 viscosity. Beyond that make sure you have one of the BMW specific OBD scanners at hand such as the Carly BMW that is pretty ok and you can monitor many things that the car is getting up to. So far there is no rattle and no position sensor reading wobble associated with slacked timing chain is present on my car. So far so good. But yes with these cars, they are a ton of fun but if you had the money to buy a monkey that may be fun but do not forget to supply the bananas :)

It’s a 64 plate R58 coupe... extremely fun to drive and it’s a second car, so we don’t do many miles in her (holidays / weekend fun). Have a suction tool and am either changing the oil and filter every 6k or 6 months, then letting garage do proper oil drain at service time. My only issue is I’ve not found an updated clutch, so don’t want to go made with a remap :(

I've read that closing it with software is the better option. That's what Grosvenor in Reading recommend. They are a very highly respected BMW indy.

What do you reckon about remapping? I've seen mixed opinions? I've a n57 and im considering remapping for a bit more power, will it cause problems later down the road?
