What distinguishes this version

1,995 cc four-cylinder diesel (N47N in BMW’s parts catalogue, N47D20C at ADAC, N47D20O1 in BMW UK’s 2014 technical data): 135 kW and 380 Nm. Six-speed manual or eight-speed Steptronic. Coupé only (03/2014–09/2014, ADAC): BMW’s Convertible documents do not list this engine. 0–100 km/h: Coupé 7.2 s (automatic 7.1 s) (BMW, 2013 Coupé press kit).

Engine oil: quantity and approval

Oil change: 5.2 l (BMW, 2013 Coupé press kit; BMW UK technical data 03/2014). BMW’s Convertible handbook (VI/15) approves for diesel engines BMW Longlife-04 and Longlife-12 FE (the latter only for certain engines), SAE 0W-40, 0W-30, 5W-40 or 5W-30; failing that, up to 1 litre of ACEA C3. No additives. The level is measured electronically; BMW asks for a check after every refuelling.

What the service display covers

The car calculates each due date (Condition Based Service): the distance or time left appears briefly when the ignition is switched on, details are in the vehicle status menu, and the data is also stored in the key. BMW Service Inclusive lists the items it triggers: oil service with filter, vehicle check, air filter, microfilter, fuel filter and brake fluid. Brake fluid is time-based; periods with the battery disconnected are not counted, so have the workshop update it. BMW’s handbook gives no mileage for any item.

Timing drive

Chain (ADAC: “Steuerkette”). BMW’s parts catalogue for the F22 splits the timing drive into a lower and an upper part, with chain, sprocket, guide rail, tensioners and an oil spray nozzle. No scheduled replacement in the documents consulted: a repair item, not maintenance.

Prepare the next service

Before the appointment, note 5.2 l of oil and an approved grade (Longlife-04 or Longlife-12 FE). Hand the advisor the key last used: BMW stores the service data in it. Note the build month (registration document or VIN plate): ADAC lists the July 2019 recall for four- and six-cylinder diesels built 01/2010–12/2017 (EGR module checked, faulty parts replaced). Have BMW check your VIN. Ask for a printout of the due items: BMW gives no mileage for them.

Maintenance and records

Engine oil — diesel

Due date calculated by CBS

Oil change at the date the car displays; do not run past it. Top-up: BMW Longlife-04 or Longlife-12 FE (the latter only for certain diesel engines), SAE 0W-40, 0W-30, 5W-40 or 5W-30. If none is available, up to 1 litre of an ACEA C3 oil. No additives.

Oil level

After every refuelling

Electronic measurement: the status is available after about 30 minutes of driving; the detailed measurement is done standing, engine warm and idling (about 1 minute). Add oil only when the message asks, in the quantity shown, within 200 km. Overfilling can damage the engine or the catalytic converter.

Other maintenance items — diesel

As the car’s service requirement dictates

BMW lists as regular, CBS-triggered services: oil service with filter, vehicle check to BMW specifications, air filter, microfilter, fuel filter and brake fluid. No mileage is given for any of them.

Brake fluid

Calendar-based (CBS)

Counted in time, not kilometres. Periods with the battery disconnected are not counted: have the workshop update the time-based items (brake fluid, and where applicable oil and microfilter). The handbook does not state the period.

Source [5]

Coolant

Regular check, engine cold

Level between the Min and Max marks on the expansion tank, engine cold; the tank is on the right or left depending on the engine. Never open the system hot. Not every additive on the market is suitable: ask the workshop.
