Your answer is 3) completely different motor than the S62. It was the Alpina (a tuning company) version of the M62, the motor from the X5 4.6is, bored out to 4.8l. (Oddly, BMW did the same thing at about the same time, to create another motor, the N62, used in the X5 4.8is, but it made less power than the Alpina lump.) Looks like you can buy one for the low, low price of $62k!
