For what its worth, we've broken worse cars than that, and even perfect runners, however yours is a truely unique colour and has had a lot of unique stuff added, RNS-E, the alcantara, black carpets etc.
The engine is one of the most valuable bits, and thats porked, so the gearbox is probably next most valuable, but even then only a few hundred quids worth really. As a whole car as a project its probably worth a couple of grand to someone who has time and ready funds to fix it, plus it gets to live another day and you see it finished and running again whilst you get back into a D2 very quickly. The RS6 conversion is interesting, but sounds like an expensive project which needs lots of money tied up in a motor that can't actually be driven until its all done and dusted.... So, I see your options as: 1) Keep the beemer, sit patiently until an AVP or AQH engine comes up cheap enough 2) Move on your current D2 & Beemer and buy another D2 thats on LPG

rs4 v8 fsi transplant is possible only within the last few months thanks to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFqu96otScs
the adaptronic.nl is the first ecu controller to operate the fsi system and drive by wire. but the gm ls3 is still the best transplant for cost and power, only it's 5" longer that's why it needs the s5's gearbox. shortest engine is s4/rs4, the one in middle is our s8's belt drive 4.2, and last is chevy ls series from corvette. am happy to share the one year of research i've done on s8 engine repairs/alternatives, me and mike are not secretive with our club buddys amar. just ask.
