Otherwise, quick status update.
Things to do on 318i shell:
....get exhaust and prop off
....remove diff and rear end gubbings (brakes and driveshafts, petrol tank etc)
....remove front panel and salvage what wiring and hoses I can in the process
....remove engine (which will then let me get the heater box out of the interior
....remove all other S50 related gubbings (wiring etc)
....remove all other morsels (battery boot wiring etc)
....prep shell for weighbridge (front and rear subframes off along with all suspension brakes etc)
Things to do on M3:
....clean up engine bay
....sort interior (carpets in etc)
....prep car for motor going in (make sure fuel pumps are correct etc)
Things to do on S50 motor:
....New oil seals and gaskets all around
....new oil/water pumps etc as appropriate
....New clutch
....ARP bolts on bottom end if necessary
Then bolt it all together and it should work (although engine's with 0 mileage need some running in
)P.s., thanks for all the kind words guys, but looking at the time and money involved in some of this it may take more than a few weeks.
