does anyone know the details of bmw pistons? i'm especially interested in M42 pistons, M44 pistons and S50 3L pistons. i was hoping to find a catalogue online but getting nowhere.
any help much appreciated.

Don't know myself, but any decent engineering shop should have various bibles of car parts which list out major dims if that's what you're after? :)

i think you're right turbo-brown, its a shame though as a little while back i had a mahle catalogue in pdf with all the specs of the bm pistons but i dont know what i did to it. bum. what info can you get off tis/etk? never used either before - normally just use the realOEM website listed above. want to find out about bmw rod lengths etc too.
