BMW M2 Competition Timing Chain Failure (F87, N47)
If your M2 Competition is a pre-2015 model with the N47 diesel engine — that's the early F87 generation — timing chain failure due to chain guide wear is a well-documented pattern, subject to NHTSA recall 18V-755. We replace timing chains, guides, and tensioners as standard on every N47 rebuild.
The later F87 (2015-onwards) and G87 generations use a different engine, the B47, which is significantly more reliable and doesn't share this specific issue.

BMW M2 CompetitionENGINE OPTIONS
Every M2 Competition is different. That's why we offer the right solution for your engine, your car and your budget.
REBUILDING YOUR M2 Competition ENGINE
We rebuild your existing M2 Competition engine – strip it down, pressure-test it, and replace all worn or damaged components with updated OEM parts (timing chains, guides & tensioners on the N47). Near-new performance with a 12-month unlimited-mileage warranty.
From £2,200RECONDITIONED M2 Competition ENGINES
A full strip-down, inspection and replacement of worn parts rather than a straight swap. If that's what you're after, our rebuild service is exactly that.
Learn moreREFURBISHED M2 Competition ENGINES
Restoring your existing engine to full working condition rather than replacing it outright. Our rebuild service covers this.
Learn moreREMANUFACTURED M2 Competition ENGINES
Built to original specification with updated components. That's exactly what our rebuild service delivers on both the N47 and B47.
Learn moreREPLACEMENT M2 Competition ENGINES
If your existing engine is beyond economical repair, we offer complete engine replacement and fitting – sourced and fitted by our team, with the same 12-month warranty.
Learn moreUSED M2 Competition ENGINES
Matched low-mileage used engines for when time is critical. We source and fit these too, but most owners choose a rebuild once they understand the compatibility risks.

LOOKING FOR A USED ORREPLACEMENT ENGINEINSTEAD?
We supply low-mileage, VIN-matched used units too. However, most BMW owners choose a rebuild once they realise it removes compatibility risk, keeps their original engine number, and often works out cheaper than fitting an unknown used engine.

ABOUT THE BMWM2 Competition ENGINE
The M2 Competition has been a mainstay of the M2 diesel range since 2012, spanning two generations under one badge. Early F87 models from 2012 to 2015 use the N47, a 2.0-litre diesel that's part of a family known for a specific timing chain issue. From late 2015 onwards, across both the F87 and later the G87, the M2 Competition switched to the B47, a newer, significantly more reliable unit that doesn't share the N47's timing chain concerns. Knowing which one your car has matters, because the components and the known wear pattern differ — which is exactly why we confirm your exact engine by registration before quoting.
The M2 Competition is no longer in production, but we continue to rebuild and replace engines for every one still on the road.
BMW M2 Competition ENGINE CODES
N47 (F87, 2012–2015)
A 2.0-litre diesel fitted to the early F87 M2 Competition. Known for timing chain failure due to chain guide wear — see the callout above. We replace timing chains, guides, and tensioners as standard on every N47 rebuild.
Check Your N47 M2 CompetitionB47 (F87, 2015–2019 / G87, 2019–2024)
The later 2.0-litre diesel, fitted from 2015 onwards. A different design from the N47 that is significantly more reliable and doesn't share its predecessor's timing chain issue.
Check Your B47 M2 CompetitionBMW M2 CompetitionENGINE COMPATIBILITY
Because the M2 Competition spans two distinct engines across two generations, fitting the wrong replacement — or assuming an N47 part will work on a B47 car — risks a compatibility problem that's expensive to unpick. Before we quote or supply anything, we confirm:
Your exact engine code (N47 or B47) via registration or VIN
Your generation (F87 or G87)
Drivetrain and ancillary specification
Any electronics or ECU considerations specific to your exact build
This is why we always start with your registration rather than a generic M2 Competition quote — it protects you from paying for parts that don't fit your actual car.
