The first pic is of all the components that your car does not have mate..................never come across a 194E1 that looks like the one in your engine bay dude. Maybe some of the others can comment on this.


You need to find the engine number that is stamped on the engine block...............off the top of my head- I think it will be stamped towards the edge of the block.

I will take more pics and post as soon as.

Sharkie,

did you manage to find the engine number on the block?

If not take a look at this:

http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=CA92&mospid=47437&btnr=11_1376& hg=11&fg=10

does your engine have No.20?

this is the crankshaft sensor and is postioned on the lower timing chain cover, will be bolted on the left hand side of the crankshaft pulley.

If its there, then you have the older M43 engine, which is not what your car should have......people try and get away with using the older M43 engines as opposed to the M43TU baecuse they are easier to get hold of and are alot cheaper..........but inorder to make them "run" you do need to chop the wiring around..........kinda like the way your wiring is at the mo............I've seen only a couple of these bodges on the last few years and they never run right.

Also from the pics you have provided.........your car is missing the whole AIR PUMP VACUUM CONTROL set-up??!!!
