Seems like a mixed bag of some failing and others not. Would be interesting to see how many x35i turbos have failed. :thinking:

BMW X5 xdrive35d, 46,000kms.

No Failures.

There is a more pronounced lag when taking off though, but performance is still good.

I don't have a diesel yet. Looking at getting one for the wife.
Does anyone know of someone who has had an issue with the timing chain failure on the N47 engine(20 D engines)
