I'm in the process of rebuilding an M52B28 from an 05/96 production E36 328i (early enough that the head has the extra coolant temp sensor hole tapped and has the two sensor setup instead of the combined sensor.)
I found that the lifters from this early engine are not the same as 1998 328is that I dismantled a while back.
On the left, an INA lifter that you would get from pretty much anywhere, p/n 11321748884
On the right is some sort of other lifter, only marked BMW883.2. Seems to have less oil volume inside (potentially lighter), and a more elaborate oil entry port?
My only theory is that the right lifter is an original one, and at some point everything was updated to the INA part. Maybe some were replaced with some sort of lifter tick warranty replacement, cam replacement, or other service.
Anyone know anything about these BMW lifters?
