Disadvantages of the Mini B47C20A engine
The EGR valve, also known as the AGR, is the primary source of the owner’s issues;
Timing chains need to be replaced closer to 200,000 kilometers because they are now more dependable than N47; a recall campaign was conducted in several countries to replace it;
As usual, piezo injectors and a particulate filter will give you a lot of headaches as the swirl flaps in the intake quickly become jammed with soot.
