To keep somewhat in period and the spirit of the '02 I'd imagine that another M10 is the way to go, or else an M42. I suspect that the M44 would be a little bit more complex electrically as its designed with a bit more electronic brainery.
I'd guess that an M20 would be fairly straightforward too but M50's and M52's would be nice but a bit harder work for the same reason as the M44. The main downside to a straight 6 engines I'd imagine is that it adds a bit more weight over the nose and might spoil the handling a bit.
I know that the S14 engine has been dropped in a few, a pal is tipping away slowly at one as a project, and I'd say that should be good fun. ------------- Now: BMW 523i SE '00, 318i SE - e91 '07, 325i Coupe '93.
