Sorry to hear about your engine
, I hope you get it sorted without it costing you the earth!
I'll add your case to the blown engines list, btw what year is your car?
I wonder, would the 4.4 GTS engine be much more expensive than the regular 4ltr? (If available!).

When I bought my e92 m3, it was single owner and he told me about how he does the start up procedure, never revs past 3k until it’s warmed up. It was a 56k mile car when I bought it but the way it was treated with lots of care was more important.
You bought a 47k mile car but it was probably treated like shit it’s whole life, warm up never taken seriously, reving high when it’s cold, and just beat on.
Just LS swap it at that point. It’s challenging but you have the experience.
I saw somebody swap a LT4 into a e92

I see this option mentioned from time to time, but I've never had an answer as to how much these engines weigh and their effects on handling....
