Hey guys, I need some quick help.

Heres the problem:

I have a 95 318 with a cracked head. I need to find another head to get it up and running. I found a 91 and 96 318i in the junkyard but the 96 head looks completely different.

Im familiar with M42s but im not sure if the head will work for my application. I know the M44 has knock sensors and slightly diff internals.

I just need help knowing what i should do, Besides the obvious of finding a 95 M44 head. I was just so sure the 96 M44 head would be compatible but it looks as if the cams were diff, And there werent any water lines running into the head.

Help me?
