looks like the m20 one will work fine, though its hard to tell exacly as their end cases are different. You might want to to take the motor of the starter off so you can spin the gears then set the starter in the bellhousing and spin it to make sure they dont touch, thats what im going to do.

let us know when you get it bolted up

update.  

Well, this isnt going to be as easy as I thought.  The ID of the gears is different and I'll have to turn down the OD of the flywheel to get it to work.

It will probably be easiest for most to just use the M20 pinion gear.

Is it posible to fit stock starter motor if m20 flywheel gear was replaced by M42?

what sort of weight is the M20 wheel then? i have an M40 flywheel to go into my 318is, but i have turned alot off or it, so mine weighs about 7.3kgs, i believe the M40 is a straight swap for the M42, but i hav'nt got mine fitted just yet.

M40 flywheel was simple replacement for me. Used shorter M40 flywheel bolts and M40 clutch kit. Wish I had reduced weight like you have though as the flywheel didn't make much difference.

If anyone else attempts this and finishes before 2002maniac please share the results. This seems much less of a headache than trying to deal with modifying the starter as seen in m42boy's thread. Good deal.
