    That is sick! But I am feeling better about my terrible investment after seeing $70k for just a built motor(that probably includes the whole turbo system but still). Good for him though. Serious ballin'!

    I guess it's important to mention that the motor in that thread is a S38B34, not the E34 variant in S38B36. Though we have an M6 with the S38B34 and I can imagine based on it NA, that the motor would be sick.
