    we could always repaint it if we go the s62 route.. but we will most likely go with s14 or s50b32.

          S14's suck, put the Euro S50 in there so it has power and doesn't blow up.

            I am not a big fan of the s14 either to be honest.. My favorite engine from BMW is the euro s50b32.. I guess i just got a lil spoiled with the power of a inline 6.lol

                      just an idea sonny, you ever think about an alpina-replica m3?
                      something like this would be cool for your next one:

                            We are almost done with the engine rebuild. The head is done, the block and pistons, pisto rings is done. I had to get all new guides, tensioners and crank sprocket. All the gaskets are brand new as well. this should be a very solid s14 engine.
