I think the m54 is the last engine that actually shares exact physical parts and some dimentions with the m10. But not much, I think 1 or 2 bearing shells; most is analog to the m20. That engine probably had even more models used in its offspring (the s54 is ovbiously a direct decendant; every bmw i6 up to ~2005 shares loads of parts (mainly in the bottom end) and design features with the m20)
Hi. That was a typo. Corrected now. The same block was used until 1988. There is however a direct link between this block and the famous S Series M engines, which I will update later on...
