Hi all,
I have just bought my first (but not last) BMW. I wonder which engine sits on/in it. I just experienced the obviously well known vacumleak (I have read a 1000 threads in here since I got the car 1 month ago) and now I have to order a new rubberhose among other things to get me started.
It's a 1988 316i and I don't know if its the m10 or m40 engine.
I took a picture of the hose earlyer.. can anyone tell me which engine it is?

The air intake is on the left by the side of the engine obviously, and there is a number on the intake which I think was 1342 or something like that.
Best regards

look like an M10 to me M8, lots of tuning potential in those, almost indestructable too

What month off 88. as the engines change in 88. Or even better, what are the last 7 digits of the VIN ?
