You don't need BMW pistons. Get JE Forged pistons from Top End Performance in CA. They're lighter, better, a damn sight cheaper, and you can get any diameter and compression. They're nearly the same as S14 (E30 M3) pistons, so turnaround time isn't that long because they already have the molds. If you want higher compression (stock is 9.0:1) you can go with 10:1 and get a hotter cam to match.
