E39 530-540i project?

Hello

Ive been really into the looks and handling off the e39 latly as some of my friends have bought e39s. Problem is, theres very few of them were i live with big engines, its mostly 520i and so on. And if there is a 530-540i, they have went 1 billion miles ( over 130.000km) and gotten badly treatned.
Like lots of rust and stuff bcuz of the long winters and salt, and they havent washed them properly etc

So hows the overall quality on the e39s and the "big" engines?
Is a e39 with over 130.000km on it to big of a risk?
I wont buy a new engine... :P (there aint even engines 4 sale so :P)
