Thoughts?

Thats the gamble you play with a $40,000 motor.

Hot damn! GT4 motor costs $10K less. I guess the two turbochargers and it's cooling components make up that differential.

Gonna call up Car Bahn and gauge how they stand behind their warranty.

It could be much worse. The E63 AMG long block, crate motor, was $77,000.

Lol might as well buy a used e63 and you get a boat load of spare parts + the engine

Exactly. I only know because my buddy bought his E63 for $27,000 and modded it, of course, it started knocking, and he took it to the dealer. They quoted him the $77k for a replacement long block.
