BMW M44

Automotive Engines

The BMW M44 was a dual overhead camshaft sixteen-valve four-cylinder petrol engine produced from 1996 to 2000 at the Steyr factory as the replacement for the M42. It ran alongside the single overhead camshaft M43 as the higher-power model, and in 2000 the N42 replaced it. Compared with the M42 it has roller rocker arms, a hot-wire air mass sensor, a displacement raised from 1.8 to 1.9 litres and a grey cast iron crankshaft in place of the forged steel one, and like the final M42 it has a dual-length DISA intake manifold. Peak power matched the M42 but mid-range power rose significantly, and valve train friction fell by 70 percent, making it quieter and more efficient. The 1,895 cc M44B19 powered the E36 318is and 318ti and the Z3 1.9.
