BMW N13 engine reliability,

problems and repair
New gen BMW 4-cylinder engines called N13 (Prince) were
developed in collaboration with French PSA Group. BMW N13
motor was produced in 2011 and replaced all previous naturally
aspirated 4-cylinder engines such
asN43B16, N43B20, N45B16, N45B20S, N46B18and N46B20.
N13 cylinder block was made of aluminum combined with dry iron-
cast sleeves. It also had forged crankshaft with 8 counterweights,
connecting rods 138.5 mm long and Mahle pistons 77 mm in
diameter.
It was equipped by new cylinder head and variable valve lift
system Valvetronic III as well as BMW N55 and N20. At the same
time Double-VANOS variable valve timing on the two camshafts
was used in addition to direct fuel injection.
Twin-scroll Garrett MGT1549ZDL turbocharger in BMW N13
operated under 10 psi (0.7 bar) boost.
Engine was equipped by Bosch MEVD17.2.4 control unit.
This engine was used in BMW 14i, 16i, 18i and 20i models.
BMW N13 engine modifications and
differences
1. N13B16M0 (2011 – present) is a basic version with heat
exchanger. It produced 170 HP at 4 800 rpm and 250 Nm at 1,500-
4,500 rpm. It is used in BMW 18i and 20i models.
2. N13B16U0 (2011 –present) is variation without heat exchanger.
Power is reduced with the help of ECU firmware. Engine produces
136 HP at 4 350 rpm and 22 Nm at 1,350-4,300 rpm. It was used
in BMW 16i models.
3. N13B16K0 (2012 –present) is another modification with 102 HP
at 4,000 rpm and 180 Nm at 1,100-3,900 rpm. This model was
used in BMW 14i models.
BMW N13 engine problems and drawbacks
1. Vibration. You need to check fuel injectors and clean them in
case of necessity.
2. Rough idling. This problem is caused by idling valve and throttle
flap. You only need to clean them in order to avoid such problem.
3. High fuel consumption. You need to check air flow meter as it
can be the main cause of the problem.
At the same time N13 doesn’t like often change of motor liquids.
At the same time you need to change them regularly. High quality
gasoline is recommended as well as motor oil prescribed by BMW
brand. If you proceed with regular checks and maintenance you
will hardly face any problems.
BMW N13 engine tuning
N13 Chip tuning
The easiest and most reliable way to add some power to your
BMW N13 is to complete chip tuning. You need to buy BMS JB Plus
and install it on stock engine. It is a perfect and cheap variant to
increase HP level by 30-35 HP. If you need more reliability and
plan to use maximum potential from your motor you may install
heat exchanger form BMW 118i.
