[taff.318i s 92]

watts the size of my engine.what i mean is my clock as 160 mph is that what 318is have on the clock a fella down the shop said 2ltr not so sure i bought it as a 1.8i on the book i think i ain't got the book yet but it was advertised as an 1.8i so any help would b sweet

[witeshark]

A 318is would be a 1.8 liter

thanks whiteshark' what im thinking is may be it's an engine swop how can i tell if it's an engine swop any body have a pic of 318i or do thay look the same

1992 E36 318is has an M42 motor i believe. You also have a knock sensor, which my 1991 does not have.http://www.esatclear.ie/~bpurcell/318isengine.html

heres a link. If you have a different intake manifold then you have an M44..which is a 1.9 liter, but i think thats only 1994 and up.

Where have I heard that kind of language before . It sounds familiar. Out of curiosity, where are you from and do they talk like that where you live?
