ENGINE QUESTION (archive)

I'm / was in the process of purchasing a 3.5L (205 HP, 225 LB-ft) engine for transplanting in E9 2800 cs, until I came across EURO 3.5L engine (218 HP 225 LB-ft), now M5 engine (286 HP :-) and a NEW monkey wrench...)

What's the difference between M5 engine and U.S. / EURO 3.5L engine???
Do they use the same block, but different head???
Are M5 engine mounts (position) same as 3.5L???
Can I use CARBURETORS with M5 engine (easier conversion, since I'm doing the conversion).

Thanks
