Not been able to find much on it besides the odd EGR issue, looking at a 2017 (67 plate) for a potential long term keeper. I've seen quite a few examples of cars with the B47 doing over 150K miles which is an impressive amount in 4 years.

I'd gather by this stage most of the issues are sorted, still any feedback welcome.

Not sure what a "B47" is. N47 is the last diesel engine used until very recently. Is the B47 the new engine with similar block to the B46? It's only a year or two old in use.

It's the updated 2015 onwards 2.0L diesel engine, I'd gather it's mainly used in Europe.

Xdrive models share the transfer case with 320i, and it's kinda weak for all that diesel torque. Some people experienced its malfunction at mileage of 60-100kkm. Some of them were very enthusiastic about skids and donuts on ice and snow, though
The engine itself seems to be quite reliable, I haven't heard about any specific issues whatsoever. But our specification is Euro-5, so it is possible it's a bit simpler in terms of ecology-related stuff in comparison to engines you have in Europe.
