lol other than that 
Its my engine we are talking about, prefacelift M10 1.8 from an 85 car.
Issues I can think of:
engine loom plug is different, probably not that hard to sort out though.
PAS, wasn't a pump bracket on the engine, nor possibly a pulley for it on the crank.
Exahust manifold output possibly could be in a different place.
anything else?

Maybe the iS engine is broken.bmwe30mtech wrote:why do you want a slower engine in your car? Swap it with my standard m40 lol. I want a iS!!
I'd rather have a working M40 than a broken M42
