Trivia Question: Was the s14 the only motor used in only one chassie by bmw?

Alright,

based off that logic...

Where is the 325is? or the 88 325? ;)

RealOEM is nowhere near complete or accurate. We all know this.

OH another fun fact. 95 m3 in US didn't have an S50. S50 was the euro engine with individual throttles and many other upgrades. For Americans they just put some of those parts on an m50 engine and shipped them to us. What a freaking shame.

s14 also came in 323iS and later 325iS in South Africa.

You sure about that? I was under the impression that SA got the 333i (M30 B33 from a 733i). Other than the E30 M3, I believe the only other car that got an S14 was Italy and Portugal's 320is.

George, the first early variant of the M20 was also used in the E21 323i, it was the only 6 cylinder E21.

BOOO ON YOU Mr. Anderson

e21 also came as a 320/6. It was an m20b20 engine.

[Van Westervelt]

No, I don't believe they did.

[TDE30]

No, I don't believe they did.

[Van Westervelt]

e34, they made the 518tds or 518td

[TDE30]

5-series? E12? E28? E34?

[Van Westervelt]

I am pretty sure they offered the 4 cyl diesel in the 5 series in Europe.

[TDE30]

Edit: First four-cylinder diesel.

[Van Westervelt]

BMW's first diesel motor was in an e36? I think not...

[TDE30]

S65 B40. But technically it is used in the E90 M3, the E92 M3, and the E93 M3.

The M41D17 (BMW's first diesel motor) was only used in the E36 318tds, although it was very, very loosely based off of the M51D25 (diesel M50).

Although based off of the M50, the S50 was only used in the E36 M3 coupe/sedan.

The M15 (2002tii motor) and the M31 (2002 turbo) motors were only used in the 2002tii and the 2002 turbo, respectively. However, both motors were based off of the M10.

Great question George, I don't think there is a single motor that isn't based off of a previous motor in only one car.

The MZcars used S52 i think because they were after 1996
