Better not to risk the timing chain rail failures and unpreventable egr passage clogging that makes these impossible to pass California smog from model year 2000+. Pre-2000 is smoggable because one "Not Ready" pretest is allowed.
The 6 cyls have reliable rack and pinion steering, and you will be nicely surprised what a tight and economical 3.0 liter with 5 speed can do with fresh or rebuilt Vanos and a stock 540i muffler that bolts right in to the same hangers. Also a West Coast Riots BBTB and removing the screens from the MAF tube.
