i would definitely not attempt to B&B, but rebuilding i have heard isn't all that difficult if you have plenty of time on your hands. i think an entire offseason would qualify as plenty of time.

the roundel is a good place to look, i forgot about it before you mentioned it though.

i know the gains from this process are minimal, but i figured if i was gonna have the engine out of the car and all in pieces, it would be best to do it at the same time.

i'm not looking at any one car in particular, but as you know mike, these old M3's usually have really high mileage, and aren't exactly babied. i figure a motor with 125k hard miles (seems to be about average mileage for these things) is due for a rebuild. especially if (and i will be) is run hard on the track.

any more thoughts are welcome.
