Alright man, as a fellow bimmer owner I urge you to go for the 3.0L OBD-1 swap out of a 95 M3. You can get a engine with low miles for pretty cheap and with suspenion, not much is going to be able to touch you. The power you are able to extract out of the old 2.5 is gonna be limited and after you strap on all of the bolt-ons, the 3.0 is still gonna be faster. Call Mike at Sports and Imports in Chesapeake, he's the man around here for that kind of shit. Good luck with whatever you decide.

The ironic part is that you probably didn't know is that some machinists like to "polish" certain area's of the block to encourage oil flow.
