Same price or more expensive than the M50 halfcuts. I think there are more ppl converting from M40/M43 to M42.... Reliability - it's almost PPAG...  (Pump petrol and go).. Just needs routine maintenance. Have done numerous trips with the M42. no worries. Few occasions of high temp too cos didn't check radiator water level but the engine still held strong...No timing belt to worry about cos running timing chains....  Parts - most wear and tear items are the same with the M40/M43... May need to order certain parts only if major engine work is required ie engine overhaul. Other than that, most parts are easily available from the parts shop.</blockquote>
