BMW 1995 E36 4 cylinder twin-cam M42 engine (blue)
$700
Up for sale is a BMW M42 (M42B18) straight-4 DOHC piston engine going for $700.00, but was somewhat negotiable with some unique thoughts there, but not so much now, because I found out my ideas would not work.
I can produce ownership papers for this E36 8/1995 318iS with manual gearbox, which has VIN: WBABE52090EK83499 & at the moment interested parties can start it up, hear it running, move about some-what in the yard or could possibly take for short drive up/down the street.
The 1st 3 pictures shows what the engine looks like, which is very similar to the M44 engine in some later E36’s. The last picture shows how many kilometers it may have done (348568 showing on Odometer).
I performed a dry compression test 4th November 2019 using old threaded dial gauge that leaked slowly 3x separate times per piston, pictures taken of each reading, as well as a picture of each spark plug to show condition, then deciphered best I could 12 separate piston readings/pictures & now hopefully came up with a clear indication of the resolute as follows:-
Piston 1. 187, 192, 190 average 189.66
Piston 2. 190, 187, 190 average 189.00
Piston 3. 185, 170, 186 average 180.33
Piston 4. 168, 183, 190 average 180.33
When preparing for the compression test I noticed there was none of the usual debris in or partly oil filled spark plug chambers, which gets me thinking the rocker cover gasket at the minimum was done sometime towards the last days the BMW was registered.
I prefer pick-up with buyer’s being responsible for securing to their vehicle or trailer. If buyer organizes professional pick-up/transport, then I am more than capable of securing to a pallet at extra cost for materials (Eg. pallet, rope & trap).
Enquiries are welcome, but prefer (repeat prefer) 1st by email throw Gumtree or 2nd by calling my mobile ******** 543, which I might be able to answer, but (but) if by text/SMS I may not (not) be able to reply, but I’ll certainly try, Thanks.
