Here is a BMW twin-cam 2.8 litre six-cylinder(M52) that's good buy. This is a relative term, it's cheaper than building your own m52. Even if you were assembling it your self, it would cost more in parts and machining than the $5000 asking price. The best part, it's a low(8.5) compression turbo engine with 0 miles.

This is the kind of motor that I fantasize about putting into the blue twin-cam 320i(e21) below or in my silver one. From the factory, this engine produced 200+/-hp and with a built engine like this 325?
The problem with putting this into an e21 is the comparative value. The engine is worth twice what the car is. In all honesty, for a daily driver I would prefer a '97 3.2litre M3 engine (s52-b32 converted obd1) in stock form plus you can get one for $2000. This is really a matter of preference, some people like driving the high strung turbo engines and in the end...much as I love the exotics, I prefer the hum of good running, stock engine.
Regarding Steve, no need to continue pursuing that one as I hit the nail on the head. Yesterdays, BMW 635CSi is perfect, he should just buy it. Check....obviously.
PS I tried to include pictures of the CS coupe, as my close yesterday. The pics I see are only available to "members". So I re-hosted one, that's it at the top. Look for a a list of this guys' projects in the next couple days.
