Why don't you google BMW M44 or BMW Engines.. Far easier to get all the info you need. All your questions will be answered,

Difference between the intake manifold in addition to all the plastic parts of M 44 is that the M42 and M 44 is not DISA. throttle bodies are different, M 44 is installed TB and ICV M42 is the top outlet manifold.
