BMW M43

Automotive Engines

The BMW M43 was a single overhead camshaft eight-valve four-cylinder petrol engine produced from 1991 to 2002 at the Steyr engine plant. It served the lower-powered models, while the higher-powered ones used the sixteen-valve double overhead camshaft M42 and later M44. A natural gas version was built for the E36 318i and the E34 518i. Compared with the M40 it replaced, it added a camshaft position sensor, a knock sensor, roller rockers and a timing chain in place of finger rockers and a timing belt, and it introduced the dual-length DISA intake manifold to give torque across a wider rev range. The 1.9 litre M43TU arrived in autumn 1998 for the E46 316i and 318i, the E36 316i Compact and the Z3, and the N42 and N40 began to phase the M43 out from 2001.
