If the car had such an unusual feature as an alloy block, one would think that it would deserve more description on the cert than just LWB, and that the option would be listed in the optional equipment rather than up by the VIN.  I'll check with the owner to see if he does, in fact, have an alloy block.  If not, and unless we get a definitive answer from someone on the list, the only way I can see to get more clarification is to contact BMIHT.  I'll report any interesting developments to the list.
