interest in mahle motorsports euro & alpina pistons?

[sumoashe]

I'm currently working with mahle motorsports on making sets of the euro pistons, as well as the alpina C2 2.7 pistons. These would be made off the original blueprints, and of the same material. But instead of being cast they would be forged. Otherwise exact to oem specs. There's a price break depending on the amount of unit run. So the more people involved, the cheaper the price can get. I am not making money from this, all money would be paid direct to mahle. What ever the price, would be divided among you equally. But I need a general idea of the amount of people interested. And can get the pricing adjusted on the quote correctly. Right now the quote their working on is for pricing at both 10 and 15 sets.

Available options:
325i 9.4cr
325i 9.7cr
325e 10.2cr
325e 11.0cr
alpina C2 spec 9.8cr iirk. (Had a few versions based on cat or no cat)

Would it be possible to order Mahle piston rings in for stock 2.5 pistons (94.955mm)?

Going to be hard for anyone to commit without even an idea of price.

Sorry, forgot to add that.

Pricing-
Pistons run 200w/rings per piston.
There is a price break after 40 pistons, or 6 sets.
They will also do another break at 10 sets, and 15 sets.

I am trying to get with the spec e30 rule makers, Trying to get a ruling on the high comp. 325i pistons. Being that these will be exact oem copies, including the metal composition. Only diff being cast vs. forged.

Cast and forged are not the same metal composition.

[sumoashe]

I know on the composition, guess I should of worded it different. The pistons will be from 4032 alloy, which is as close as they can get to the original.

I dearly would like a set of the euro +1mm 9.7 I pistons, Mahle should have done another cast run years ago.

There is no way SPECE30 would allow for non-stock compression pistons (let alone forged), it just wouldn't make sense as it would introduce the need for other changes (ECU management, fuel, etc.). I hope you can prove me wrong.
