They are pretty easy to find in junkyards. Just do a compression test and make sure it is in good health. My local junkyard had at least 3 M30B35s last time I was there. There was even an E34 535i 5 speed.

i know a guy with an entire e28 parts car. He says it has a good engine and 5speed. I know another guy who had an m90 if you are interested it that too.

Haha thank you. There is a place by me call U-Wrench-It that has a little higher prices but way nicer cars. That is where I saw multiple B35s. The B35 out of the E34/E32/later E24s is what you want for sure. With the pull-a-part near me, new cars only last a day before they are trashed.
