Keep the M10 and go turbo, BMW used these blocks and got 1500hp, surely that counts for something?

Kos said these engines can make 100hp/litre which is awesome for a 2valve per cylinder engine

Never driven both so can't really comment.
High RPM is awesome! Is a must for a track car. Although the Norwegians cars track and drift there cars and look to have plenty of fun with that amount of power.

Fuck it I'll just fit it with the 5 series gearbox, then play about with the other box when it's out of the car. Cheers for the advice though I never knew that

M5 engine is pretty difficult I believe. Not cheap either.
Don't think his insurance would like it either...

I would of thought it was pretty different as the S38 (M5 engine) was designed by the M section. There will be more to it I would of thought... The S38 was based on the M30 block though.
