Who company manufactured the rods and pistons? Also what CR are you going to run on those pistons? In addition the pistons seem to be coated, and chance you could tell me what coating might be on them?
As for the airboxes, who did the custom box as I know that the CSL and Delage airboxes are about equal in efficiency.
Pistons were special made for BMW Motorsport by Mahle. CR will be 12.5:1. Don't know what coating or material there made of but they're 309 g inc. bolt. AS for con rods, I don't remember but will check with Ralf Kelleners as soon as he is back from testing at Daytona.
The airbox is made by a German company, can't tell you the name right now.
Looking goood! You bet some of those mods will end up in other members' cars once they get a thumbs up from you guys. Thanks for experimenting on behalf of all M3 owners and keep us posted...

Dunno if I'm the only one, but the internals of a high peformance engine are pieces of art to me. Screw paintings or statues, I can spend hours looking at this kind of stuff, and then enjoy them as they perform there art togheter as a finished engine.
If you could keep us updated with pics of the engine build, I'd be very gratefull!
Good luck with the build-up. Can't wait to see the car back in action.
