You are a funny man. For the record, I've embarked on my own E9 'Hero's'Journey' a couple of times that approach is par for the course. Alan's issue is easy to fix, if he wants it to be.
Give me a challenge, like trying to install the rubber boot that goes behind the fuel filler door, or trying to find RHD parts...
So I've heard... Nows about the time to increase your health insurance limits and lower the deductible... Keep me in the loop. What I lack in sympathy, I make up for with sarcasmYou are a funny man.

No Alan. Do NOT buy that car.
Copart...
Wait what?
Don’t buy a whole running car if you plan to rebuild the motor. If you are rebuilding the motor then just buy a motor and rebuild it. The whole point of buying a complete car is to find a used motor in good working condition,
Next up, you seem to imply with your 20 motor history that you intend to rebuild yourself. No offense, but I think that is a bad idea. You can buy a B35 for $1,500
or less, but have it rebuilt professionally!!!
I’ve been on the hunt for you and there
are very free e32 and e34’s on the market under $5K. A testament to the m30, many of these cars are pushing 250k on the highway odometer.

This is like 'Days of Our Lives.'
You can not watch it for years and within 5 minutes you know exactly where things are at.
That's a rare thing, even if unintended.

This is the best deal I’ve seen so far for a functional e34 535i. $2K with transmission issues. It’s an auto but he describes as a “sticky clutch”. I asked for more details, but he said it is still available. Likely due to living in BFE (near Eureka). What I like about this one is the mileage and the price.
Again, the point is to *NOT rebuild the motor for at least a few years.

Alan,
You might check with Metric Mechanic (in Missouri). They've rebuilt (and increased size/power) on a lot of BMW engines/transmissions for over 30 years, I think. They had done both on the 3.8+ liter 5 speed OD I had for several years. It was motronic FI engine and ran beautifully. They might have an excellent engine for sale.
