About the engine:
The donor car is a 1995 BMW 318ti (production date 05/1995) so all parts and accessories are used working condition. I've owned the car since it had 16K miles and it has been meticulously maintained and not abused or overheated. The engine has excellent compression on all 4 cylinders and was getting 30 mpg average for highway driving while producing a reliable 140 hp. The engine has just over 133K miles on it, I've run Mobil 1 synthetic exclusively and the inside of the engine is extremely clean . It has no leaks and runs great and does not smoke or knock. I removed it from my ti because I swapped a M50TU 6 cylinder so I no longer need this engine. This particular M42 has variable length intake runner (BMW calls it DISA or Dual Resonance Intake System). This feature added low end torque and more horsepower to the 1.8L e36 318 models. This is the later model M42 motor which is not prone to the profile gasket failure (the earlier pre '93 models were susceptible to this problem which led to overheating).
Also included is a wiring schematic for this engine to assist in an engine swap into an earlier model BMW.
