Mike hi.

It's a brilliant engine with a lot of torque (more than a CSL) and 420 true PS.

I could be wrong but I think the P54s run with BMW MS ECUs and not Motec.
Why is he offering a Motec ECU ?
Surely the BMW MS map for the special vanos unit must be better than a custom made ?

The engine life is very limited and the parts are extremely expensive (I find the prices quoted in the invoice low).
The special vanos unit is ~ 10k euros.

I would have gone for a P54 but I cannot afford a 15-20k bill every 4k km or so.
That's too expensive for my car budget.
Assuming it's an original P54B32, I think you should not purchase this engine unless you will run a race car and have a lot of money to throw on maintaining it.
