Anyone Know About Old Bmw Engines?

Recommended Posts

Ryan

I've tried a few BMW forums, but since it's not a question about how to fit 20s, or how much M3 badges cost they aren't much help. :)

 

Does anybody know if the throttle body from injection M10 engines (in the E30 316i/318i, and later E28 518) are all exactly the same - same mounting, and importantly same bore and throttle plate size?

 

The ones that look this these:

 

 

 

...got half an idea about using 4 of them as a set of cheap throttle bodies.

Might be a tough one since the E28 isn't on ETK.(bmw parts diagram software)

I know the M10 engine in the 87-88 E30 316i has a 42-43mm throttle, which is ideal. But finding 4 of them will take forever. If the 318i and/or 518i have the same size then it will double/triple the number of cars to check...

 

The ETK version I downloaded doesn't have part numbers for any of the E30 throttle bodies at all, so I can't compare them.

 

I might try ringing a dealer, maybe they have them on microfische?
