My dilemma: LOCATION. I am in mountains of western NC and, while dealerships have been especially helpful (Asheville) I am nowhere near any of them. Have 2011 z4 35i. Mechanic here actually f'd up old engine, AND a 25k miles replacement (never flushed engine of sludge in Vanos gears and shredded the cam bearings). The engine had sat up for some years, so engine flush SHOULD have been a no brainer - AND he is BMW certified. Now have another engine in it, but far, far inferior to either original or the perfect engine he f'd.

Now, looking to swap a GM crate V8 into her and get a reliable, serviceable power plant and keep the zed for .... ever. Any help from the gallery?
