As for the size, you should keep in mind that the 3.2 liter engine in the E46 M3 in fact had smaller outside dimensions than the 3.0 liter engine in the E46 330i. Displacement does not always have an effect on weight or exterior size of an engine.

Hmmm...not necessarly. Check M3 forum in Roadfly..there's a guy that had to fight tooth and nail to get his S54 replaced free of charge AFTER the bearing work was completed. He spun a bearing AGAIN.
I'm just guessing that a 3.5 liter I6 using the current block wouldn't fit in the E90. Yes Hartage(sp?) wedged a V-10, but I have no idea how tall that engine is compared to the current 3.0 (v-10 obviously wider).
