M42 Club dead?

[1991 318is]

Fanatics and lunatics.

I agree......Maybe if the M42club would use both terms as in a M42 & M20 Club, maybe they would get more attention.......I dont think there are really enough M42's out there to have its own board.....Just my 2 cents

I like the M42 club. It's probably my favorite forum. We are the Branch Davidians of the Latter Day E30 Saints.

I always forget that place exists. I need to start posting there more often.

Hah me too. I'll try to remember and post there more often, I'm a member of so many damn forums it's hard to remember to visit them all.

IMO, I think M42's are better because they dont have timing belts......Sure its a 4 banger, but I think overall I would rather have a M42 engine

reason why i went with one as a beater.

To tell you the truth, Im not to impressed with my 6 cylinder.....It just doesnt have the same pick up as the 318 does......Sure the 325 is smoother , but i just love the 318 more........I dunno

yer 325 has LESS pickup than yer 318i...u must have one beat-ass 325 then. an m20b25 has WAY more get-up and go than an m42, and an m20b27 has even more get-up, just no top-end.

meh, its up and running again. like most M42's, if the bobble and act up, they often fix themselves and run perfectly for the rest of thier lives without constant repair, unlike m20's

The m20 vs. m42 debate will always rage, so why fuel the fire boys?

That being said I prefer my 42. Ive owned a 325is, 325ix and now my 318is. By far and away the best car for daily flogging is the 318is.

325 is an Automatic(Flame me if you want, its my fiancee's) and the 318 is 5 speed.....That may be it.....
