I tot the M42 is from the 318iS? E30 318i is M40.........

The answer to your question would really depend on the budget. If low budget and least worries, get the engine kosong and use back all the wiring.

The M40 & M43 are single cam 1.8 engines, both are found in E36 318i. THe M40 was carried over from the E30 318i to the E36 318i until around 1995 when the M43 was introduced.

The M42 is twin cam with air flow meter, and it was replaced later by the M44 which uses a mass air sensor.

I would recommed you to rebuild your engine. Get a new part replacement rather than venturing into getting a another m40 engine which may lead you into more problem (cos no history).

But if you got more moo, go upgrade to M42/M44. It's enuff to make a smile
and enjoy the ride. It's a straight plug and play.

Getting a M20 engine would be a hassle to upgrade from M40 because of wiring and etc. Just make sure you have a good mech and full migration to M20 engine
cos u may need to upgrade your suspension, brakes because your car now is powered by 6 pot rather than 4 pot.
