@Wanda - New member with an M43 the little brother of M42!
« on: March 08, 2013, 04:52:55 PM »
Hi,

I've been lurking around for a while, so i thought i might aswell introduce myself & participate in the forum.

I have an E36 Convertible with a turbocharged M43 engine.

Yes i did say M43,  though it does share most parts with the M42,  with the difference being an SOHC engine.

I haven't seen many M43 related posts here, so i don't if M43's are welcome or not :o

The more the merrier, I always say.  Welcome!

Now that you mention it, I have no problems with any 4-cyl BMW.  M10, S14, M47 - they all have their charm.  We specialize in the M4x motors though, no doubt about it.

@deansweet - No suprise there, as M43 never hit the US market lol.  
My engine is dirty haha,   but here's a Wiki link showing what M43 looks like!
