Had a look on the wiki an it only says bout 6 pot battery's. I presume 4 pots need less cranking power. Don't want something too weak though. Would 64ah and 640cca be good for an m42? Cheers, Joe.

096 sized battery for all E30s. The cables around the front RH corner of the battery are a bit tight on four pots, but once the battery is dropped into place they're fine.
