If I could find a source for a rebuilt that would be the way to go, if it wasn't cost prohibitive.
Thanks again for the replies.
I actually noticed that right after I posted the comment. Good luck finding a source for a rebuilt one or even finding a company that rebuilds them. Your best bet is sourcing out a used one with documented mileage. I can't remember the OP's name, but there was a long post of a member who took is E53 4.8is to the dealer for an oil change and the technician overfilled the X, causing the engine to seize. Long story short, BMW eventually admitted guilt before pursuing legal action and he received a brand new 4.8 motor out of the crate. He could not find any companies (that I can remember without searching for the thread) to rebuild...
