Analyzing with Fritz & Shredder leads me to believe that 1.Bxe6! is indeed best:
1.Bxe6!
[1.Bc4 Nxa4 2.Bxa6 Rxc2 3.Rxc2 Nc5 =]
[1.Ba2 Rb8 =]
1...Kxe6 2.Nxb6 Rb8
[2...Rc6 3.Nxa8 Rxa8 4.Ne2!
(Not 4.Nh5? Kf7 5.b4? Kg6 6.Ng3? axb4 7.axb4 Nxb4 8.Rxc5 Ra3+ -+)
4...Rd8 5.Rc3! Rb6 6.Nd4+ Kd5 7.Rd1 Rd7 8.b3 h5 9.Nxf5+ Ke6 10.Rxd7 Kxd7
11.Ng7 +-]
[2...Rc7 3.b4 axb4 4.axb4 Nxb4 5.Rxc5 Rxc5 6.Rxc5 Bxg2 7.Rc7 ±]
[2...Rcd8 3.Rxc5 Nxc5 4.Rxc5 ±]
3.Nxa8 Rb3+ 4.Rc3 Rxc3+ 5.bxc3 Rxa8 6.Rd1 Rf8 7.Rd6+ Ke7 8.Rxh6 ±
