petone 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2005 Your car will probably have an M40 engine, which may look similar to the M42. (not sure on how similar they look) The engine you posted is an M10 and cam in standard 318i until 1988. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
318is 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2005 That motor is an M10. The 318iS has an M42. Depending on the year as well. Mine's a M44. M42 is also a twincam. Maybe it runs on the production year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cainchapman 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2005 Yes, M42 is 1800cc. M44 is 1900cc. Both are DOHC. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gmccormack 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2005 bdogg, as your car was originally an auto there is no way it could be an iS. E30iS were only 5 speed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

petone 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2005 As i said before, your car will have an M40. It came in standard E30 318i from 1988 onwards. I think it has around 85 kW at the crank. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
