BMW N20

Automotive Engines

The BMW N20 was a 1.6 and 2.0 litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with variable valve lift and timing, built from 2011 to 2017. It replaced the N53, or the N52 in some markets, and although it has four cylinders it was treated as a successor to the naturally aspirated six because it powered equivalent models with similar power, more low-rpm torque and better efficiency. It combined a twin-scroll turbocharger, double-VANOS, Valvetronic, direct injection, automatic stop-start and an electric water pump, and it was sold alongside the smaller N13. It made the Wards Top 10 Engines list in 2012, and from 2014 the B48 began to replace it. Faulty plastic timing chain guides in early engines led to a class action lawsuit filed in 2017.
