The OM447 is an engine family produced by Mercedes for the O405 family of buses.
They come in turbo diesel, naturally aspirated diesel, and CNG versions, from 180HP to 250HP.
All 3 of these engine have been recreated in BeamNG, including realistic sounds, proper torque curves, proper driving dynamics, and full integration with my Wentward Transmission Pack!

Recommended configurations for realism
My recommendation for the configurations are below
- OM447 engine with 250HP Turbo
- Transmission: ZF Ecomat 5HP-500
- Final Drive: 4.84:1
- M447hLAG engine with 235HP Turbo
- Transmission: ZF Ecomat 5HP-502/C
- Final Drive: 4.84:1
These configurations are what is used in real life, so for maximum realism, use these configurations
