The BMW M40 is an inline-four SOHC piston engine which replaced the M10 and was produced from 1987–1995. Displacement ranges from 1.6 L to 1.8 L. It began to be replaced by the M43 SOHC engine in 1991, however from 1989 the M40 was produced alongside the higher performance M42 DOHC four-cylinder engine.
Compared with its M10 predecessor, the M40 uses a belt-driven camshaft,[1] and hydraulic tappets. Like the M10, the M40 uses an iron block and an aluminium head.
Fuel injection for the E30 versions is Bosch Motronic 1.3,[2] and the E36 versions use Motronic 1.7.[3]
