    M42 Compression Results!

    I just had a compression test done on the 318i i am about to purchase.
    Came out to be:

    #1: 180
    #2: 190
    #3: 190
    #4: 185

    Is this acceptable? Too much difference?

    Looks fine to me.

    Too much difference would be 180 190 190 120 or something like that.

    Common sense- It's the new 'gifted'

      yea, as long as they are close.

      my sisters m42 318ti had 210psi on all 4. 235,000 miles. Only thing replaced was valve cover gasket, plugs, and oil.

        I think ~5% difference is the goal, so you're fine
