It's fairly common knowledge that some early M96 had cylinder liners: http://www.flat6innovations.com/engi...es-illustrated

The illustration in that link is for a Boxster. The Boxster and Carrera share the same engine block.

I can't stand the interior lights of a BMW, but I also dislike orange lights. I realize this is the 996 forum, so that means nothing here with it being the same (i much prefer my 997 interior), but I would go with the BMW over the 996 myself in this case.
