HI Mate
I would start with a 325i if i were you!
It has the added advantage of rear disc brakes, abs (although not to everyone's cup of tea) - an se model may also have the obc etc installed already as well!
Also, the battery is in the boot keeping the weight distribution more even!
However - if you are after a touring - then prob a 320 as they are usually similar spec to the 325i's but not thrashed so much!

project mix n match .
would i get all the throttle bodys and inlets off the 2.5e engine for the conversion?

For your base vehicle, a 316 or 318 touring will do as well, and can be found younger than the 320 (up to L reg). Bits are the same, except for the front springs.
