BMW M42 Engine
The M42 is a complete upgrade to the M40 engine. It features advancements viz
*DOHC (dual overhead camshaft)
*timing chain
*hydraulic valve lifters
*4 valves per cylinder (m40 had 2 per cylinder)
*coil on plug system

BMW M40 Engine
This engine replaced the M10 in 1988. It is a 4 cylinder engine with fuel injection, single overhead camshaft and engine displacement was still in the 1.6L to 1.8L range.
Additional features are:
*Engine now belt driven instead of a timing chain
*same aluminum head, iron block configuration
*power generation increased with the 1.6L generating 101hp and the 1.8L 111hp.
*The M40 in the E30 generates more power than the ones in the E36, possibly due to emission restriction

BMW M10 Engine
This is a 4 cylinder straight engine with relatively small displacements.

An old design (from 1962 up to 1988), it was seen as a 'strong' engine by enthusiasts.

Features are:
*Single overhead camshaft design
*Aluminium head over iron block
*Uses a timing chain
*carbureted using either solex, pierburg or Stromberg, depending on the displacement. Few had mechanical injection
*The M3 S14 engine was based on the M10 iron block

The M20 Engine
This is a 6 cylinder Straight engine with Bosch Motronic Injection system.

The features are:
*It's a Single Overhead Camshaft design
*Displacement ranges from the 2.0L (identified with the single exhaust tip) to the 2.7L. The most desirable being the 2.5L variant found in the 325i.
*engine has a iron block and aluminium cylinder head
*engine uses a timing belt rather than a timing chain and should be replaced regularly
*earlier versions used a carburetor but were quickly replaced with the fuel injected versions
*the fuel management system uses an air flow meter (instead of the now common mass airflow sensor)

The different engines found in the BMW E30 (listed above) would be analysed below:

BMW E30 Facts:
*Second generation of the BMW 3 series
*Designed by Claus Luthe and Max Reisböck
*6 engine variants came stock. M10 (4 cyl), M20 (6 cyl), M40 (4 cyl), M42 (4 cyl), S14 (4 cyl in the M3) and M21 (6cyl diesel)

I am sorry ooooo! I don't mean to spoil anybody's market but........You mean these Peugeot SUVs (3008 & 4008) come with mere 1.6L & 2.0L? Heheheheheheee! Those can hardly carry 4 "25Litre" kegs of palm oil from the village down to the city.

What is PureTech? What is BlueHDi?

As far as I'm concerned, Peugeot died in the era of 504 & 505Evolution.

The people giving Peugeot international awards are ........

Its not about the displacement but about its final output. That 1.6l would dust some old 4.0

OP, so this is an AK47 in your own eyes?

Anything wey long na AK47?

Egein:
You must be a armed robbery kingpin.

Smh

vertueptime:
We for test am on you to find out if u are actually right or wrong

You don't deserve a response beyond this.

Icecomrade:
Second hand value for these cars above is less than 100k.

Thats how bad they are

Your horizon is simply shorter than a football field

Icecomrade:
This car is Out dated.

Whats it doing here

If you say the Honda Accord 98-02 is outdated, what will you now say about this current collections
1978 Toyota Corolla
1980 Mercedes Benz 230
1984 Mercedes Benz 190E
1988 BMW 325i
1988 Mercedes Benz 300CE
1990 Lexus LS400
1984 Volkswagen Beetle

Having the ability to fire an Ak47 round does not mean it would have the same power as an ak47.

It is a pistol with a very short barrel. Not rifled and definitely not as accurate as an ak47...by the way, the ak47 is not accurate when compared to other rifles

Poor journalism and effect of half baked knowledge

EgunMogaji:
The online 12 will sell like hot cake.

Like this?

Headaches of the Benz engineer would be:
Emissions
Pedestrian crash safety
Reliability
Maintenance
Handling
Weight distribution
Overall weight
Cost...

EgunMogaji:
They need to do a limited edition roadster with inline 12 cylinders

Inline 12?

Apart from the unnecessary long hood, another problem with that configuration would be the weight distribution problems as the extra length would tip beyond the front wheels.

The SLS AMG with transmission already in the rear still has its V engine propped behind the front wheels. Handling could have been poorer if tranny was in the middle.

clemzo101:
Thanks man. I just hope this will not cost me too much because im very broke at the moment.

Cheaper alternative is to park the car.

All these should have been done upon first time engine was opened

clemzo101:
Its a toyota camry 2004.

*Inspect oil pump strainer, clean, better still change oil pump assembly
*Change main bearings, check crankshaft and measure journals for uneven wear, machine if necessary or replace
*Use a better engine oil and service your car regularly

diportivo:
from my experience with this ur model of M.A.N diesel,its because you don't top up the grease compartment every morning

instead of changing metal,just put more grease

thank me later

I was actually thinking the F15 fighter jet in question needs a complete overhaul of the missile system in order to get better metal efficiency

OgaKazeem:
M sorry o... Bt m I d onli one seeing d same picture all tru?

Did you see a car? All I saw was a bonnet and two headlamps

*munches pop corn*

Poorly written.

A dilution of Davido's history with an already watered down account of known events. An attempt at summation only to result in an elongation.

nurey:
Baba this is specifically racing open another thread for luxury and see the Rolls-Royce top the maybach, the maybach will edge the continental flying-spur with performance

You are beating round the bush.

First, you said no one races a RR (even after you unilaterally introduced the RR to this thread. Then you say another thread should be opened for luxury performance.

Stick to one side of the gun and shoot

nurey:
Will you drag race a RR who does that , i am talking of luxury comparism

The Maybach comes in...

The RR is a BMW 7 series under that facade of luxury

nurey:
If I pitch the S600 against the flying spur or Rolls-Royce and it loses which has always been the norm, you will find another excuse like it's not about luxury it's about class or price or another excuse.

Are you saying the S600 will lose to a RR in a drag race?

GAZZUZZ:

I was more interested in kingreigns lexus that came I last

Me too

chyndorek:
the pictures you are seeing are w203 converted to w204 face. the back still w203

Oh ok.

Now I understand you.

You basically want a grille, hood and headlight swap from the w203 to tell w204.

I would revert on that

chyndorek:
Hello Nairalanders. I am looking for who will do this type of conversion for me. please reach me at chyndorek@gmail.com or 08035403666.

Hello

The pictures you shared are of the W204 chassis.

W203, W204, W220 etc are chassis codes while engine codes usually start with M. The engine you shared is the M111 kompressor.

Knowing what exactly you want to convert and why would assist us both to move forward on this matter.

Cheers
