Even though the mods may seem to be light, they do spoil the fragile balance of the M engine, which is anyway kinda near limit in stock specification...this combined with some factory defects may result in a blown engine at 60k miles rather than at 200k miles. I wish OP every luck in getting this sorted out...if he's well connected to BMW it may be easier; worst case scenario a second hand M3 engine might be found at around 10k euro.

You're kidding right? At the limit from the factory? Hardly, these cars are detuned to pass emmissions, noise regulations, etc. Doing simple engine mods like a filter and an exhaust allow the engine to perform as it is truly designed to (ie: performing w/o power killing government regulations).
