Who cares if it's genuine. Get the engine proven on a dyno, otherwise, leave the ebay tat to some other suckers.

No.
Hartge, Alpina, Schnitzer etc etc are all a case of "Here's the parts list, which ones do you want?".
This is why I no longer drive an E30......

Would it still be a worthwhile conversion if it wasn't a Hartge?
