Is the BMW B47D20 a diesel or petrol engine?

The B47D20 is a diesel engine. It is a 2.0 liter (1,995 cc) inline 4, DOHC, 16 valve unit with a variable-geometry turbocharger, and it was built to the Euro 6 emission standard.

The emission standard matters for registration and for low-emission zones in many cities. When you replace an engine with the same code, the car keeps the same paperwork and the same emission class.

Diesel versions need the matching exhaust treatment parts on the car to stay legal and to keep the engine computer happy. Reuse the parts from your car if they are in good condition.
