The 620d produces 140 kW (190 PS) with the 1995 cc B47D20B engine. This page covers 2020–2023. This facelift 620d uses the 140 kW B47D20B with 48-volt assistance and no external charging. The 8 kW starter-generator is not arithmetically added to the rated output. Identify the 48-volt equipment when preparing service; oil quantities are from BMW’s 2020 table.

The 620d produces 140 kW (190 PS) with the 1995 cc B47D20B engine. This page covers 2020–2023. Bodies covered: Gran Turismo. Dates combine documented configurations; not every body and transmission combination was available throughout. This facelift 620d uses the 140 kW B47D20B with 48-volt assistance and no external charging. The 8 kW starter-generator is not arithmetically added to the rated output. Identify the 48-volt equipment when preparing service; oil quantities are from BMW’s 2020 table.
BMW’s published oil-change quantity is 5.5 l. This is a service quantity, not an amount to pour in as a top-up: check the level after filling. Oil approvals, timing drive and shared engine characteristics are detailed in the engine section.
BMW’s 2018 maintenance booklet explains CBS items: oil and vehicle check use time and distance, brake fluid uses time and brakes depend on wear. Cabin and air filters, spark plugs or diesel fuel filter are combined with selected oil-service counters and may not appear separately on screen. Replace oil and oil filter together; obtain the associated work list using VIN, service history and CBS counter. The accessible booklet is American: its numerical intervals are not transferred to European diesels or the 48-volt facelift.

The consulted ADAC recall list includes facelift G32 in a starter fire-risk campaign. This does not mean every engine or every G32 is affected. Check VIN, production period and campaign completion; do not extend that scope to pre-facelift cars.

Bring the VIN, build month, B47D20B code and 140 kW rating. Record CBS dates and counters, previous oil services and filter changes; bring the key used for the last journey. Have the oil and work itemised on the invoice and the service recorded. Report storage with the battery disconnected so time-based deadlines can be corrected.

This applies to every car fitted with the B47 engine.
Inline four-cylinder diesel engine of 1,995 cc (84 mm bore, 90 mm stroke) with common-rail direct injection and turbocharging. Codes published by BMW: B47D20U0 (218d), B47D20O0 (220d) and B47D20T0 (225d) in the 2017 facelifted 2 Series; B47C20U1 (118d) and B47C20O1 (120d xDrive) in the 2019 F40 1 Series. ADAC codes the 48 V mild-hybrid version (140 kW/190 PS, 400 Nm) of the 2020 facelifted G30 520d and the 2022 G42 220d Coupé as B47D20B.
BMW handbooks only list oils for topping up and leave the oil change to a qualified workshop; the list depends on the handbook edition. 2 Series Active Tourer F45 handbook (II/17): BMW Longlife-04, or Longlife-12 FE for certain diesels only, in SAE 0W-40, 0W-30, 5W-40 or 5W-30; otherwise up to 1 litre of ACEA C3. F45 facelift handbook (VI/19) / 5 Series G30 handbook (VI/20): BMW Longlife-04 or -12 FE — the handbook adds that Longlife-12 FE is not suitable for the 25d, 35d, 40d and 50d diesels — in SAE 0W-30, 5W-30, 0W-40 or 5W-40 (0W-20 and 5W-20 are excluded for diesels); otherwise up to 1 litre of ACEA C2 or C3. 1 Series F40 handbook (II/22): BMW Longlife-04 or -12 FE, in SAE 0W-30, 5W-30, 0W-40 or 5W-40; otherwise up to 1 litre of ACEA C2 or C3. 2 Series Coupé G42 handbook (VI/22) / Active Tourer U06 handbook (X/24): BMW Longlife-12 FE or -17 FE+, in SAE 0W-20 or 0W-30 only; otherwise up to 1 litre of ACEA C2 or C5. No additives. Quantities published by BMW: 5 l for the B47D20U0, O0 and T0 (2017 2 Series, “filling quantity”); 5.5 l for the B47C20U1 and O1 of the F40 1 Series (oil-change quantity) and for an oil change on the G42 220d Coupé (2021). No quantity is sourced here for other installations.

Chain, according to ADAC. BMW’s training documents on the modular family explain that, because the crankcase is shared by petrol and diesel engines, the timing drive is two-part: a lower chain drives an intermediate shaft, which on the diesels also drives the high-pressure pump, and an upper chain drives the camshafts. The sources consulted give no replacement interval.
In October 2018 BMW expanded a technical campaign on the EGR module of certain diesels: glycol leaking from the EGR cooler, combined with soot deposits, can create smouldering particles and, very rarely, melt the intake manifold or cause a fire. About 1.6 million vehicles worldwide, built August 2010 to August 2017, with periods varying by model; the module is checked and faulty parts replaced. BMW does not list engine codes, so have the VIN checked.

2017: facelifted 2 Series with B47D20U0/O0/T0. 2019: B47C20 in the F40 1 Series, Euro 6d-TEMP — two turbochargers of different sizes (variable-geometry low-pressure stage, high-pressure stage integrated into the manifold), slide bearings, 2,500 bar injection, single-stage exhaust gas recirculation, particulate filter, NOx adsorption catalyst and AdBlue SCR. 2020: 48 V mild hybrid (B47D20B according to ADAC) in the facelifted 520d, Euro 6d-ISC-FCM, then in the G42 220d Coupé.
Oil deadline displayed by CBS
Record remaining date and distance before work. Use the version-specific quantity and a VIN-approved oil; check the level and record the oil service once completed. The consulted document does not justify a universal fixed mileage.
Source [6]Brake-fluid service date
Read the brake-fluid deadline separately from pad wear. Compare it with the last replacement invoice; report storage with the battery disconnected before correcting service dates. Reset only completed work.
Source [6]Vehicle-check deadline, separate from oil service
Keep the CBS vehicle-check item separate from oil service. Provide service history and the key last used so the workshop can read actual requirements. An oil change alone does not prove the vehicle check was completed.
