They said they need to figure out a bunch of things along with the transmission but they are highly capable and i don't have any doubts about them building my car but I figured that I will do my part and check in the community for any thoughts, advice on transmission, etc..

Have a nice hollidays and stay safe 👍

Why are they suggesting such a downgrade? A K24 is a better engine in every way. There's also well known ways to have it be reliable in a RWD configuration even under heavy track use.

Why the BMW transmission?

This sounds like a hugely expensive idea.

If you're after big power and a gearbox to handle it, why not look at an LS swap with matching gearbox?
