M42 is great but little performance parts available. Great balance. Not a huge difference as I currently own both. 318is's are harder to find. M20's require more maintenance.... valve adjustments and timing belts. Both rev. IMO 318's are usually taken care of better (different type of owner). My advice, find a nice e30 with good service history and buy it regardless of engine. Harder to find one that hasn't been destroyed than one with the engine you want.
