Please help me identify this cylinder head?

Hi team

 

I have this cylinder head which looks similar to my 2002 cylinder head but on close inspection it is a bit different. 
 

For example look at the red circles hole in the pic. It’s on the intake side. My 2002 doesn’t have that. 
 

where is this head from? 
 

Regards

It’s from a 320i when BMW places the CIS injectors in the head. The can be plugged and the head can be used on an M10 engine. Need to check piston the head clearance when using 2002 pistons. Or can use 320i pistons.

And designed for the later, 1.8-liter e21, hence the head type is a 1,8i. The head was cast July 1983, so probably found its way into a late 1983 model 320i, the last of the e21 series.

 

The rotation of the distributor is the opposite of the earlier 2.0-liter engines (as in ‘02’s), but I understand that can also be easily remedied with a change of the distributor drive gear.
