Those are some really good #s. How do you expect the motor to hold up? Are the stock pistons cast?

the carnk and rods are forged from factory and i just heard that the pistons are also a cheaper forged unit made in production by mahle. So the bottom end is good for 6-700ish. But i guess it all depends on how much you wanna push the motor.

the key to any good successful budget build is a good solid base (bmw) and alotta diy and headaches. If i had to do it again with the knowledge i have now i could probably do it even cheaper. But 4-5g is just an estimate of hardparts. Who knows how much the tiny nuts/bolts/gaskets and other stupid stuff cost. that stuff i just write off as normal maintanence. Dyno time cost money and what not so either way it adds up to $$$$$.
