Engine donor for Viento

Just about to start building a Luego Viento and thinking of fitting a BMW M30 engine and gearbox out of a 1990 535i.
Any one got any thoughts or experience of these engines.

theres a strange phenomena with these engines, plans and good intentions seem to take a while to come to anything! but it does seem like a good idea. Trouble is fitting it into the book chassis, should fit into the luego, is the viento the big one?
