Some things have happened so here is where it stands now as of 29JUL18
I had lost compression in 4 cylinders. Ended up bending the valves somehow. After checking everything, I replaced the following parts with these:
Ireland Engineering Intake valves in all 6 cylinders. (All have been lapped)
VAC Motorsports cam gear
New BMW head bolts
Goetze HG
ITG Filters
I also ordered some CaTunded coolant hoses as well.
I have checked the compression and it is much higher than it was before. I have cranked the car several times without the fuel pump relay to ensure that the engine sounded healthy spinning over. Before, there was a dip in sound and the engine did not sound as smooth. Now, it sounds much smoother and more even.

Today, the car started properly for the first time in almost 10 months. Had a couple of issues at the beginning, but was expecting that. However, after about 2 hours of making small adjustments here and there, she finally runs smoothly at idle. All that is left is to sync the itbs and get her tuned.
In the mean time, I have a few other mods that I am working on that I haven't posted yet. There is a clue in the pic, but most of the work left is in the interior.

Fantastic and beautiful! So curious about what kind of power this thing is going to make. I’m sure the ITB’s make it sound amazing!
