Reilly 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2018 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bga 96 Report post Posted November 16, 2018 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 .. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
