The BMW M43 is an SOHC four-cylinder petrol engine which was produced from 1991 to 2002.[1] The M43 powered base-model cars, while higher performance models at the time were powered by the BMW M42 and BMW M44 DOHC engines. The M43 was produced at the Steyr engine plant.[2]

A version using natural gas was produced for the E36 318i and the E34 518i.

Following the introduction of the BMW N42 engine in 2001, the M43 began to be phased out.

Design

Compared with its BMW M40 predecessor, the M43 features both a camshaft position sensor and a knock sensor[3] as well as roller rockers and a timing chain (instead of the M40's finger rockers and timing belt).[4][5] It also features a dual length intake manifold[6] ("DISA"), to provide torque across a wider rev range.[7]

In 1998 the displacement was increased to Script error: No such module "convert"., increasing torque to Script error: No such module "convert". at 3900 rpm.[1]

M43B16

The Script error: No such module "convert". M43B16 produces Script error: No such module "convert". and Script error: No such module "convert". of torque. It uses the Bosch Motronic 1.7.x and Bosch BMS43 engine management system.[8] There was also a natural gas-powered version of this car (also able to run on petrol) for the 1995 BMW 316g Compact.

Applications:

  • 1994-1998 E36 316i
  • 1995-2000 E36/5 316g Compact
  • 1998-1999 E46 316i

Engine Management Systems:

M43B18

The M43B18 has a Script error: No such module "convert". displacement. It produces Script error: No such module "convert". and Script error: No such module "convert". and uses the Bosch Motronic 1.7.1 fuel injection system.[8] There was also a less powerful natural gas-powered version of this car (also able to run on petrol) for the BMW 518g Touring (E34). This model was only available for two years.

Applications:

  • 1992-1998 E36 318i
  • 1994-1996 E34 518i
  • 1995-1996 E34 518g Touring
  • 1995-2001 Z3 1.8

M43B19

The M43B19 (also known as the "M43TÜ") is the largest M43 engine, with a displacement of Script error: No such module "convert".. It produces up to Script error: No such module "convert". and Script error: No such module "convert"., and uses BMW's BMS 46 engine management system.[8] The Script error: No such module "convert". versions do not have the DISA intake manifold and also have a smaller camshaft compared to the 118 PS versions. Note the M43B16, M43B18 and the M43B19 (118 PS version) all have the same camshaft.

Applications— Script error: No such module "convert". and Script error: No such module "convert".:

  • 1999-2001 E36 316i Compact
  • 1999-2002 E46 316i

Applications— Script error: No such module "convert". and Script error: No such module "convert".:

  • 1998-2001 E46 318i/318Ci
  • 1999 -2002 Z3 1.9
