Built motor peeps .input please

Looking in to building motor. Everyday i see tons of posts of vendors building motors but not 1 review from customers, no data nothing .

If you had your motor built, what did you get done and who did it ? Any input is much appreciated .

I have installed 4 engines from Carbahn Autoworks - "Steve Dinan's shop"
2 - S63TU
1 - S55
1 - S65

All engines were built with different upgrade options based on what the client is using the car for.
All engines failed which led to the option to rebuild and upgrade.
Let me know what questions you have and I'll be happy to reply

Just to be clear:

FIRST (the OEM or other builder) engines failed; THEN Carbahn rebuilt and upgraded them correctly? Is that accurate?

Just curious what options the s63 engine got.
I see multiple vendors pushing out engine left and right now . But not one being pushed above what the stock engine was pushed to.

Saw one make 1050whp and disappear .
Another “Ronnie “ or something has some gtx35xx turbos built motor and disappear for a while

To be honest
I have work shop in egypt for bmw, mini cars
We rebuilt. A lot of engine
N54.b48, b58, n55, n20,n52, s65
But my car only one in egypt
S63 and Engine failed
I was afraid to rebuild
May cause its my car not customer car
If customer car i will take it easy
But my car i feel i cant from where to start 😂
Finally i got my mind and compare between new engine or rebuild
And i rebuilt it
For who sell parts
You have to check many times for specs , cause I received full kit from .... and they confirm specs right and i am wrong
And i am not believe that cause i am engineer for long time in bmw cars
Finally they said sorry
And i said. No comment 😬😆
I removed my engine 2 times
First time take 3 month
Delay from supplier company
And after 2000 km
I removed Engine and put in 1 week to check all parts again
Cause really i was a afraid
Thanks god every thing going better
Now i push 30-31 psi with pure st2
Car record 100-200 5.5sec
And some times 5.2 but not valid ( dragy ) 😂
Any info you want i can help
S63 now in my mind for parts 😂

Bringing this back up ok so anyone have a Arsenal Motorsports or rkautowerks motor thats over 800hp and for atleast 5-10-20k miles?

I'm still not seeing or reading about any built motors lasting. Everyone quite or currently dealing with a motor that has blown and quietly working with the shop to fix the issue.

Correct.
All the engines were stock internals with modifications and failed. Connecting rods failed and damaged crankshaft. Piston failed etc.
Each engine was sent to Carbahn for repair and rebuild/upgrade internals etc
