Information
|
BMW models with 4 cylinder engines include:
 |
MINI engines.
The new MINI is powered
by the four-cylinder, 1.6-liter "Pentagon" basic engine, which
was developed jointly by BMW and Chrysler. |

|
 |
The E36
3 Series M40 1.8 and M43 1.6 are belt driven 8 valve units
with cam belt drive. They are reliable and capable with few problems. The newer M42/44 1.8 and 1.9 16 valve units are a
nice revving engine with a sporty character. |

 |
Designed by the
legendary Paul Rosche, the S14 engine used
in the E30 M3 was constructed with an
M10
bottom end, an M1/M635 CSi DOHC cylinder head with two cylinders
cut off (how Roche built the first one) and four throttle
bodies. |
| |
|
 |
Baron Alex von Falkenhausen designed the
M10 engine. A classic
in design, the New Class
engine was a high-revving 4-cylinder, single overhead cam
powerplant with an all-aluminum cylinder head. |
