E30 motor swap

Recommended Posts

Hi all . I’m looking at buying a e46 m42 motor and manual conversion to put into my 84 m10 318 . Would this motor and gearbox work or am I best to get a e30 m42 motor and manual

I dont think the E46 had the M42 motor, had the M43 and N42 I believe ? , the M42 was in the E30 318is and E36ti I think.. anyway there was a thread regarding the M42 swap ..

What’s Wrong with the M10 in the first place? Great engine to work with. 4 pot and with a bit of tuning you’ll get a decent amount of power out of it.
