The BMW M42 is a DOHC straight-four petrol engine which was produced from 1989-1996.[1] It is BMW's first mass-production DOHC engine and was produced alongside the BMW M40 SOHC four-cylinder engine as the higher performance engine.
The M42 was replaced by the BMW M44, which was introduced in 1996.
Compared with the M40, the M42 features a DOHC valvetrain, a timing chain, hydraulic valve lifters and an increased 10.0:1 compression ratio.[2] Later versions of the M42 also feature a dual length intake manifold ("DISA").[2]
The M42 was used as the basis for the S42 racing engine, which powered the BMW 320i in the German Super Tourenwagen Cup.
