Yes, it is, the M42 is a DOHC 16-valve I4 piston engine first built for the BMW E30 318is and 318i 1991 year model. The engine block is based on the BMW M40, used on the 318i, but had distinctive features such as double overhead cams driven by a timing chain, hydraulic valve lifters, and an increased 10:1 compression ratio. The USA version of the 1991 318i only came with the M42 engine.
