BMW N42

Automotive Engines

The BMW N42 was a double overhead camshaft four-cylinder petrol engine produced from 2001 to 2004 as the replacement for the M43. It was the first BMW engine to have Valvetronic variable valve lift, and it also brought VANOS variable valve timing and an aluminium block to the four-cylinder range. The 1,796 cc N42B18 used Bosch Motronic ME9.2 management with twin balancing shafts and powered the E46 316i and 316ti, and it won the 1.4 to 1.8 litre category of the International Engine of the Year awards for 2001. The 1,995 cc N42B20 redlined at 6,600 rpm and powered the E46 318i. The smaller N40, which lacked Valvetronic, was derived from it, and in 2004 the N46 replaced the N42.
