1.9 Engine map

[PeterF]

Hi, I am a new member on here having aquired a Z3 1.9 recently. I previously had a Westfield kit car but I am getting on in years and decided that I needed something a bit more civilised, e.g. a roof, heater, better ride etc.

I am very happy with my Z3 and enjoy the ride ,the car feels 'planted' on the road and is very comfortable. However the performance is down from what I was used to and I am already considering a 2.8 engined car.

My question here concerns the various items under the bonnet and I have been looking for an engine map to point out the various components ,so far without success, I would be pleased if someone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks Peter

Thanks for the great welcome, will post some pics of the car and engine parts I would like identifying soon.

Yours will likely be the M43 1.9 rated at 117HP. Twin cam 1.9s (M44) had 138HP.

Hi and from Surrey.

Some pics of the car and the parts on the engine that I cannot identify, all comments welcome but unfortunately no prizes for the correct number of answers. I have never had a BMW before so parts may be obvious to BMW owners. The car is a 1.9 ,dont know the bhp I didnt realise there was a single and twin cam.
thanks

Hi, welcome from Mansfield.

The Z3 had 2 1.9 endings;
1996 to 1998 - M44 - 138bhp
1999 to 2002 - M43 - 119bhp

Looks like yours is the M43 engine.
