SixLine's estimated intervals for the N47
BMW's US booklets list diesel models (such as the 328d, 535d, 540d and X5 xDrive35d) but never name the engine, and our sources do not let us tie those models to this engine, so we publish no BMW booklet figure for it and found no official BMW interval document we could cite for it: every number on this page is SixLine's own estimate. Every interval can be edited in the app.
