I tried emailing them several times regarding this but I didn't get any reply thus i am posting here (I live in Singapore so its quite impossible to call them).

I am planning for an engine with MM pistons and conrods as well as crank (unless I can find the crank elsewhere). However, I am looking at a compression of 10:1 rather than 8.6:1, thus I am wondering if MM or any other companies offer a compression of 10:1 for the M47 crank configuration.

Thanks!

Well, how about something like this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/EAGLE-ESP-HBeam-Connecting-Rods-BMW-M40-M42-M44-motor_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el12 47QQcategoryZ33623QQihZ024QQitemZ370013040223QQrdZ 1QQsspagenameZWD1V

H-beam rods, stock dimensions, so they fit the M47 crank.

About pistons, you could try M3 pistons(either S50 or S52) need to bore the block, but more displacement...and cheaper.
There are lots of combinations to do.

they are not stock dimension, but those on ebay are 5mm shorter than stock.;)
