Get BMW motor/trans for super cheap, sell, make profit, buy small block chevy or mopar. At least this way you can ask for help as I am sure you will need it and there are plenty of these on the road. It is a metric shit ton of work to swap anything, not as easy as you would think. ESPECIALLY with any euro motor as you are now coming into (like previously stated) wiring madness to the 5th degree, cluster, etc.. Now factor in the issues the bmws had just being a bmw. Research m54 for most common issues. No offense, but for the money, time and headache it absolutely not be worth it.
I had a 83 318 with a built 1967 2002 with a 67mm and it was awesome, then we shoehorned all e46 m3 motor/trans components and it was a nightmare and really all for nothing as i wasnt willing to put the money in the computers needed to run correctly. Stripped it and sold it.
