BMW M40

Automotive Engines

The BMW M40 was a single overhead camshaft straight-four petrol engine built from 1987 to 1994 that served as BMW base four-cylinder engine, sold alongside the higher-performance M42 twin-cam four from 1989. Against its M10 predecessor it moved to a belt-driven camshaft and hydraulic tappets while keeping the iron block and aluminium head. E30 cars used Bosch Motronic 1.3 fuel injection and E36 cars Motronic 1.7. It came in two sizes: the 1,596 cc M40B16, rated at 73 kW, and the 1,796 cc M40B18, rated at 83 kW. The M43 introduced in 1991 began to phase it out, and the M40B16 also powered the Bertone Freeclimber 2.
