I seem to recall seeing an early 1.9 with an E30 325i straight six grafted in on ebay recently. I think it sold for about £750.

Could be an option worth considering: MOT failed 320i or 325i plus engine blown/damaged/missing Z3 1.9 = cheap donor for 250SWB + pile of cash from selling off unwanted parts from both cars.

And hopefully no hate-mail about your engine choice...
