On the topic of cams: they are very difficult to install in a doublevanos motor; be aware you will need a very seasoned BMW trained tech to install them that has the proper special tools. For the amount of work and cost, I personally dont think cams are worth it in BMW applications unless you really hellbent on extracting every last horse.
(note: I had schrick cams in my E46, so I speak from some experience)

Yeah, I know it's going to be hard to find someone willing and competant enough to attempt it. But I have a few shops in mind. Dealerships will void your warranty without batting an eye if you looked to them.
I need to find someone that makes springs and retainers too. I figure it would be a good idea to upgrade them at the same time. Should allow me to rev a little higher too.
