WTB: M47 diesel crankshaft

[Nivola]

Looking for an M47 diesel crankshaft, from either:

E46 320d, 1997-2001 (Not the M47N)

E39 520d, 1999-2003

E46 318d, 2001-2003/04 (Not the M47N)

or

Land Rover 75 CDT, 1999-2004


Thanks.

I smell stroker M42 projects looming.

What's the stroke on that? Thanks.

[SpecM]

Does that stroke the m42 to 1.9 or 2.0?

stock m42 is 84x81, same as an m20b27. That doesn't help you any, does it Matt?

So Matt, do you have a source for the M47 cranks? :-D

If you're really serious, you can get them new from BMW with bearings for $1050. It'll have to come from Germany, but you _should_ be able to get one.

11 21 2 247 514 is the part number.

I've had the part number, but was hoping to find a used one (e.g. in the UK or Canada), otherwise I'll go ahead with the Metric Mechanic unit that is machined appropriately.

The new BMW crank comes with $350 worth of new BMW bearings also...

Do their cranks come with new bearings matched as well as BMWs? (it matters, generic bearings suck)

Unknown. My research has just begun.
