BMW E30 318is engine rebuild

[@christophercoyle4907]

I have an 89 318is brilliant rot with 59,000 Kilometers, German car, trying to import to Switzerland, the extensive work put in to bring your bay back to new is insane, its a credit to you!

[@AliasHSW]

Thanks for the inspiration. Can’t wait to rebuild my m42. 1991 US spec e30: 318is.

[@anavenezuela4125]

This is not work... This is THE WORK® Spectacular.

[@bmwbavarianmotorworks5421]

Finding parts and rebuilding the engine on my 1981 BMW M1 was a bit tricky, especially lifting it out because it's such a tight fit

[@marcd7332]

BMW Bavarian Motor Works you seriously own an M1?

[@theretrogeek2281]

And that’s how a true nut and bolt restoration should be!

[@thegoldentench]

looks like it's just rolled out of factory!! I'm hoping to rebuild my m42 soon in preparation for an eaton m45 supercharger

[@ahrred3127]

@ekim andersom how can adding supercharger mean ruining it?

[@laurentbmw325i]

@@ahrred3127 simple, block cant handle it, m42s are strong but not made for superchargers

[@frfrpr]

Exceptional job... the slideshow was much better than the film work. Either way this is an inspiring video. Thanks

[@anthonylee7263]

[@KrystoHartge]

[@T2Generation]

I found e36 318is engine Can I install it on e30 as it is ? Or Should I change the upper and lower oil pan to the M42 e30 ?

[@selespeed3]

Where can I get a good m42 engine with all associated dme , and wire looms to install onto my e30

[@darwandoo]

How much would a rebuild like this cost

[@oyaustalan5108]

wonderful engine thanks 😂

[@aboutkab]

Hey Pvm, do you still have this car ? I have a white one sitting in the garage. I want to put a Z3 rack in it. Already done a DBilas intake collector upgrade + ship, short shifter, 540i brake system with braided lines. Would love to meet you guys some day I am from Mechelen.

[@muisphil]

Yes, still mine! Meeting can be arranged.

[@Onparrmotorsports]

I hope I can get my 318is back from my friend. I shouldn't have sold it.):

[@vitalyandryushin9053]

You know, i got my e30 318is from a guy, and he called me after one year, asking me if i could sell it back to him... This is a classic car that you should keep, whatever it takes. Get it back if you can!

[@johnburns2485]

lovely :-)

[@yahtadi5152]

Wow.. it was even too good condition before rebuild

[@ahrred3127]

The description said the engine is bored? What is the displacement now? 1.9?

[@muisphil]

+0.25mm oversize pistons. Stock = 1.796cc Mine = 1.806cc +0.6% so negligible..

[@unechaise2655]

wow.. congrat..

[@alexanderschneppe7174]

Hi, this is what I would like to do with my M42 Brilliantrot. How much did this revision cost? Best regards

[@muisphil]

It really depends on what you want to replace exactly and how much you can do yourself..

[@sumthinsumthinfamily]

what is that process that you did to restore the head, all the bolts, etc. like that?

[@muisphil]

+Paul Kaminskiy The head is a new one, the bolds are electrolytic galvanised and the engine block is repainted.

[@geusswhatChickenbutt]

Were did u get all the manuals? (at 5:50)

[@jinxproduction2867]

Where you buy all replacement parts from

[@muisphil]

BMW dealer, ebay.de, webshops, ...

[@ludovicvankerckhove3613]

Dear, can you please tell me in which garage the cleaning process has been done? I know Arsa (1440 Wauthier Braine) but it seems to be somewhere else. Thanks in advance. ++

[@muisphil]

Ludovic VK The cleaning process off the Alu parts?

[@ludovicvankerckhove3613]

Geachte, (want heb gehoord in de video dat je nl talig was :-)) Awel waar alle motor onderdelen in een soort water hooge stroom reiniger tafel gewassen zijn daar. 2.28 in de video :-). Alvast bedankt. Mvg.

[@muisphil]

www.vaporblasting.be/home/ Dat heb ik hier laten doen.

[@ludovicvankerckhove3613]

Thx man. als je wilt ooit alles reviseren (dikker pistons of zo in zetten dan mag je bij Arsa gaan te wauthier braine) en voor de camshaft daarvoor mag je bij recam gaan. fijne week en mooie project by the way. ++

[@LVKsj]

Is there a specific link or book for the procedure of the m42 rebuild ?

[@laurentbmw325i]

Internet

[@blueocean8446]

hi what kind of piston did you changed due to oversized engine block? did you also changed the cylinder head parts with aftermarkets product or the original?

[@muisphil]

Hi Denis, The pistions are OEM BMW +0,25mm oversize (KS). nl.bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/E30-2-doors/Europe/318is-M42/L-M/sep1989/browse/engine/crankshaft_pistons/ Part nr.: 11251721448 The cilinder head is bought second hand, all new OEM parts (camshaft, gears, valves..)

[@sun-cream]

Hello. This was perfect rebuilt. May I ask a question? Is it legal to change the engine (swap) in Belgium? Because I have an E30 1988 1.6 but it has carb engine. So, I wanted to change it but my country's rules don't allow it. I just wanted to know this.

[@muisphil]

As you mentioned, officially not..

[@osmanasik]

Tu es de ou en Belgique?

[@Madge104]

hoeveel eeft da u ongeveer gekost?

[@Poanoofd]

zeer mooi werk !!! zelf ook eentje aan het doen nu ! nog steeds op de baan met deze? mvg, niels

[@muisphil]

Bedankt! Jawel, nog steeds in mijn bezit en komt (enkel met mooi weer) ook nog op de baan. Ondertussen nog tal van dingen aan gedaan. Is er ergens info te vinden over jouw revisie?

[@Poanoofd]

zeer goed te begrijpen ! netjes ! Zoals? Ja, m'n maat, de eigenaar houd alles in een mapje bij en zal waarschijnlijk ook wel iets monteren als hij af is. ik denk dat je hem kent, rocky. Rijd ook al maar nog wat prullen ...

[@FedorLammers]

Heel strak!

[@leenevin8451]

why not put a 2.5 l6 in if you're gonna go to all that trouble?

[@muisphil]

Why put a M20B25 in an original E30 318is, is the question!

[@leenevin8451]

because the 1.8 is slow and not even economical

[@muisphil]

If you want a fast car, you don't buy a standard E30. I searched 9 months for my IS and had to had one because I am charmed by the model. 6 In line's are for the 5- and 7-series imo, E30 M3 was an 4cil. as well though (.. the never ending discussion..). And in the days the 318is was my daily car, I had an average consumption of less then 8L/100km so it is quite economical for a petrol engine from 1989. The E30 with the most modern engine and maybe even the lowest consumption of all E30's!

[@seventeenroses]

Speed is just one factor in performance. The M42 is lighter, which translates to a more even weight distribution, which in turn increases handling. If I'm not mistaken, it's the most technologically advanced engine that was put into the E30 chassis.

[@per19963]

I have a e30 318is and I smoke stock m20b25’s. M42 in e30 is a very nice combination. The only thing bad is the sound

[@ChaZingSlaYeRz]

Hebt u deze nog altijd in bezit?

[@muisphil]

yezz!

[@AwkwardSilenceNation]

Hey, ik rij zelf ook met een 318is en ben aan het overwegen om een rebuild van een motor te doen? Als je het niet erg vindt, zou je mij wat info kunnen geven over kostprijs, waar je het werk hebt laten uitvoeren, etc? Zou me heel erg helpen want er is bitter weinig te vinden op fora over het herbouwen van deze motor :-)

[@muisphil]

Quasi alles is terug te vinden op het net, zeker in de USA. Meeste werk heb ik zelf gedaan, motorbklok laten heropbouwen en wat andere kleinere klusjes heb ik her en der laten uitvoeren (injectoren reinigen, straalwerk, elektrolytisch verzinken van de kleindelen..) Kostprijs hangt er net vanaf wat je allemaal wilt doen.

[@ams1451]

hi i am about to purchase me a 325i i know absolutely nothing about cars but I fell inlove with the 325i i would like your help in building up my dream car PLEASE

[@muisphil]

So bring the car over here after purchasing. :)

[@ams1451]

I'm all the from South Africa :'(

[@becomematrix]

Erg mooi. Hoeveel euro koste dit?

[@muisphil]

Meer dan de wagen me in der tijd heeft gekost. :-)

[@becomematrix]

Pvm dacht al zoiets 😅 zuivere 318is zoals Bmw het bedoeld heeft.

[@ukasz761]

shut up and take my money!!! ;D

[@zcoleman4187]

now you can eat off it
