As far as your pockets.

I recall reading that you can get over 600hp from the S62 but for well over 20 grand.

I'd talk to All German Auto. If emissions are not a concern, I think they can build you a custom race S62 if you have the cash. Dinan certainly also has the know-how. You won't find these one-off projects on a website. You will need to talk to the builder and spec out the project. Beware.. it won't be cheap.
