I'm not sure what you are reading... When did I say m3 v8 or m5 v10???

and when did I write that you disagreed with the performance of the alpina??

"any m3 or m5 engine and turbo it"

My comment was towards someone that was way over his head in buying a car that wasn't fully paid for, while spending more into it. (I think that's what I been reading so far..)

I don't know in what other way I can put this.. But this was regarding people that cant afford a m3. That want to have a nice car with super car power at an affordable, economical way.

I think a s62 torque beast is a more reliable motor for cheaper replacement parts plus turbo it if you wish. Its more power than what I personally would want, but that's what people want.

If you can afford to go to a dealer and buy a new M3 fully paid for and spend more money to double the power than my comment was not for you.

Car is alive... Thats all i can say right now as it hasn't been on the Dyno just yet. All repairs made and the car runs well so far (seen by video).

Should have great news soon and then i will follow up with a new review and other sorts.

Again thank you for all who helped me!

Is it still at FFTEC? If so I can ask CupertinoSteve to drop over with his laptop and flash it.

Just saying.
