The best solution in our opinion is to reuse the stock Alusil bore, retain the structural integrity of the block and run custom designed Mahle LC pistons designed for boost with OEM grade PWC and piston coating. It is an expensive solution, but the end result is an engine that runs like a stock motor with no durability compromises or excessive oil consumption/engine noise.

Ive taken multiple bmw engine apart well after 100K miles, you can still see the original honing marks on the cylinder walls almost everytime. You will usually see conicity if you have some wrist pin issues early on.
