* 2001–2003 — 1.8/2.0 L N42 (Won International Engine of the Year award)

[atermizi]

[nikazwaa]

Yeah.. should be the M44... Unker J, the engines you mentioned E46 mah...

 

[lightspeed]

tarak ma....k i've attached here the geran.. pls have a look and comment

 

[nikazwaa]

That is very peculiar. Check the following link :

http://www.unixnerd.demon.co.uk/bmw_e36.html

Also no mention of a 4 cylinder, 2.0 engine. Maybe in the E46, but not in an E36, as far as i know.

 

[jarance]

Yeah.. should be the M44... Unker J, the engines you mentioned E46 mah...

oop .. my bad...

Looking at the gerant, the year of manufacturer is 1993, hence the closest is this

* 1991–2002 — 1.6/1.8/1.9 L M43 (SOHC).

Sometime, 1991 mL is considered by some as 1.9L

 

[ALBundy]

1991 engine capacity refers to M50 24valve 2.0 liter engine.

Could it be a 320i?? It used to be pretty popular in Singapore.

[flash]

Ai yoo, if lidat, take a pic of your engine bay and post it in here for the gurus to view and tell you what engine you have.

 

[ALBundy]

Then its either a M40, M42 or M44. Unlikely to be a M43 since it was only introduced in year 1995. Just take a picture and post it up here la. It could be the M44 but its still only 1.9 not 2.0

 

[lightspeed]

yeh..will shoot it later

 

[atermizi]

if twincam 4cylinder then M42, or M44..

 

[lightspeed]

[nikazwaa]

Yes we can, but so sorry to say that I forgot the website for this. Anyone else care to help?

you mean that the engine number is also like the vin number? With the Vin number, we can tell the model, date of manufacturer, country of origin etc.

Engine number also can?? What happen when you change the engine?
