BMW 320i engine N20B20A

Product Overview

For sale is a complete BMW 320i engine, code N20B20A, manufactured in 2015 and recording just 11 kilometres — like new in every practical and mechanical respect. This is the 2.0-litre TwinPower Turbo inline-four as fitted to the F30-generation 320i saloon, F31 Touring, and F32-based models, producing 135 kW (184 horsepower) and 270 Nm of torque. Supplied complete as shown in the listing photographs.

At 11 kilometres from a 2015 build, every component — turbocharger, direct injection system, VALVETRONIC variable valve lift, timing chain, bearings, and all ancillaries — is in like-new factory condition. For any 320i owner or BMW workshop requiring a replacement N20B20A engine, this is the highest available quality on the secondary market.

Engine Specification

About the BMW N20B20A Engine

The BMW N20 is the turbocharged 2.0-litre inline-four that replaced the naturally aspirated N46 and supercharged N18 units in BMW’s compact and mid-size range, combining turbocharging with BMW’s VALVETRONIC variable valve lift and Double-VANOS variable camshaft timing to deliver an engine that is both more powerful and more fuel-efficient than its predecessors. In N20B20A specificationas fitted to the 320i, it produces 135 kW (184 hp) and 270 Nm — the standard output variant, distinct from the higher-output N20B20B used in the 328i.

The N20 was well regarded at its launch for strong real-world performance and a more linear, engaging character than many rival turbocharged four-cylinders of the same era. It was used across a significant number of F-series BMW models — from the 3 Series through the 4 Series and X-series — making parts availability and workshop expertise very strong across the independent and main dealer network.

A known weakness of the N20 in service is timing chain stretch at higher mileages — a well-documented issue that BMW addressed through later production revisions. A 2015 N20B20A at 11 kilometres carries none of this inherited risk: the timing chain and all tensioner components are effectively new, giving the buyer a complete fresh start on all the systems that matter most in an N20 replacement decision.
