The BMW M43 is a straight-4 SOHC piston engine which replaced the M40 and was produced from 1991-2002.[1] Displacement ranges from 1.6 L to 1.9 L. The M43 powered base-model cars, while higher performance models at the time were powered by the DOHC M42 (and its M44 successor).

A variant using natural-gas was produced for the E36 318g and the E34 518g.

Compared with its M40 predecessor, it features a dual length intake manifold[2] (called "DISA" by BMW) to provide torque across a wider rev range,[3] knock sensing[4] and a timing chain (instead of the M40's timing belt).[5][6]

The M43 was produced at the Steyr engine plant.[7] A total of 1,204,734 units were produced.

In 1998 the displacement was increased to 1.9 litres, increasing torque to 180 Nm at 3900 rpm.[1]
