Nikasil is a coating, alusil is the casting material itself. as far as I know you can bore it out and re-ring and get larger pistons without having to do anything to Alisil.

I wouldnt bet my life of these statements yet though.

Is your motor an M20 or M50 ?
As far as I know it was only the M52 motors in E39s (up to 4/98) in the UK that had Nikasil.
