Interesting thread.

Mike, did you consider putting the E90 V8 in? Sacrilege to many/most but I always thought that would be a nice way to up the power.

As I understand it the V8 is alloy block, so lighter, and a perhaps a bit shorter being a V (I'd like evidence of that if anybody has figure - don't want to spread bullshit

)

to me that sounds like you'd be getting the comfortable road use, more power and potentially better handling. I'm sure there are aftermarket ways to get the induction noise back too.
